Default Csx 4966

Anyone have any info on this car? It looks like the drivetrain was swapped out at some point as it used to have a 428CJ but now looks to have a Shelby 427. Also went from black pipes to ceramic.

Hoping someone here was familiar and could advise if it's a quality car.

Yeah... Also saw it sold about 9 months ago up in NH unless owner just moved as its now for sale in TX. Car looks nice in pics but I don't see the CSX 4000/6000 interior badge. It also now has a CSX engine number on the chassis tag which wasn't there when sold in 2009.

This is probably the original ad by Stephen Becker after the car was finished (ie, first sale). While it was outfitted with the CJ engine at that time it is possible that the engine was swapped by the first owner. You could contact Becker at Planet Cobra for details.
