CSX3016 for sale through Exotic Classics, Syosset NY

I got my hands on my old registry that the binding was blown out. I had hundreds of hand written notes in there but nothing on this Cobra from 30 years ago. I was reading the Mecum descript how it was stated it was mistitled as 3106 before being corrected. Not that SAAC is the ultimate say so but a handful of experts should get together and look over the car and documnets if allowed. Probably nothing will be done unless pieces of the original one surface.

SAAC is a "handful of experts." Who else is there?

And I think Ned and the rest of SAAC has likely made the offer to inspect anything.

That's good I didn't know they offered. As I said nothing will be done unless as some say original pieces show up or a "real 3016 emerges.

There are fabricators and experts not associated with SAAC with great knowledge. However I would use what is known at SAAC as a guideline. Things are bad enough but when someone mentioned a 30's Ford things went sideways for me.

Sure, say someone like Mike McCluskey or even the gentleman who finished my Kirkham, Stuart Hall. But SAAC is charged with duty of preserving the history of these cars. Without them, you have anarchy.

Thank God for SAAC, I can only imagine the number of bogus cars with fake history that would be showing up at the prices these things command. They have exposed a number of "air cars" and are doing a great service for people who want to buy a legitimate car.
