Conversing with Dan/Ned, I cannot believe how many times I was less than a mile or so away from that car while still living and visiting friends and family in the general area and never knew it existed. I am looking forward to watching the resurrection of CSX2410.
Who are you going to source the body from? Bill S. |

To be honest, no one but my FiL and his immediate family knew, and he was the only one that really understood or had interest in it. After purchasing it he had a grand idea to have the car rebuilt as he always dreamed of having a Cobra. Then life happened and next thing you know we're 47 years later uncovering it in the same condition he bought it. The body is on order from Kirkhams. |

Any initial indications of damage to the chassis or subsequent repair, stemming from the accident in 1967 that destroyed the body?
Are those the original wire wheels and if so, can they be refurbished or will they be replaced? |

I remember seeing a Ferrari 365 GTB/4 "Daytona" driving close to my home, and chasing it on foot around a corner to see it disappearing behind a rapidly closing garage door .... luckily for me, the driver appeared outside again and I was able ask about the Daytona and the other four cars that I had caught sight of behind that garage door ....an E-Type (XKE), a Maserati (Khamsin, I think) and two others that I now can't recall their ID. That said, very few of my neighbours know what is behind my garage doors ;) Cheers, Glen |

Or. In the 1970s I sold a 1967 GT500 to a man that resold it and got a 1966 black GT350H. He had drove the GT350 frequently including to work. He was in shock one day. Some men with pickup truck were at the home next door. The home owner and the visitors were moving stuff out of the garage into the yard. The pickup truck was backed into the garage and in a little while a 1965 GT350 R Model on a Shelby trailer was pulled out into the sun for the first time in years. The neighbor never mentioned a GT350 in the garage. Trophy cars can be anywhere. |
Thank you sir for sharing this with the "community". This is so exciting and special!...Best Wishes through the process!
Kind Regards, John |
