Hello Paul,
Sorry guys been out of town and missed a lot of this thread...simply responded before I read about the visit.....Paul good luck with your efforts to sell CSX 4289.
Every Cobra that is available today with the 427 body style is a replica of the 260 +/- cobras that were built in the mid 60's equipped with the 427 FE big block engines. The 427 equipped cars carried a serial number starting with CSX3xxx the replica built by Shelby American today carries a serial number starting with CSX4xxx these new replicas from Shelby come with either a fiberglass or Aliuminum body and replicate the original cars. I own CSX4264, fibergalss body and proud of it, I have also owned a Shell Valley, Superformance and Unique replica and pround of those cars also.........the reality is I love driving these cars and seeing them in the garage pleases me.
At the end of the day.......we all indulge ourselves the way that pleases us as individuals.
The remainder of the Cobras built in the 60's were small block equipped, completely different suspesion, frame, body style and carried a serial number starting with CSX2xxx.
There have been many attempts over the years to resurrect, reconstruct, fabricate an original Cobra and that is why you seeing a great deal of skepticism in response to your posting.
I am taking the high road here and giving you the benefit of the doubt . 
Best Regards,
Tony R.
