I'll bet you that their shop rates reflect that fact too. 
There's a shop like that here in Northern California. The work is virtually flawless, but you pay for what you get. Sounds like you made a good decision. |

The car in Spinout is a CSX3xxx car. I'm not sure, but I think it may be a car that was "rebuilt" after a wreck. |

He's correct... I saw that car last time I was up there. It's a 427 Comp car. |

Looked at the AACA Magazine article again on CSX 2254. The current owner wrote the article and identifies himself as " by William Bartels " , and the Cobra " resides in my private museum" Photos were taken by West Peterson.
Bartels comment:
" I purchased the car from a private collector in April 2004. It's odometer shows 5,800 miles, which I believe to be the correct mileage on the car. I have shown it only twice, at the 2005 AACA Central Spring Meet in Warren Ohio where it was awarded First Junior and the 2005 Glenmoor Gathering where it also won an award. "
