427 Cobra raced in Mexico?

[Historybuff]

Must be the same car, I didn't remember the scoop or the tiny windscreen.
I will print them out and take them to the next historical meeting to see if we are talking the same white car. If it is 3011, that sounds like an early 427 Cobra, I am surprised that a foreign team got one so soon in the run, or maybe this is already after its US racing career was over, and after Ford made it clear to Shelby that there would be no funds to campaign a big block Cobra (they preferring he turn the GT40 into a winner).
As far as it possibly being an early replica, I thought the whole replicas started with Arntz, in the early '70s, and the guitarist who showed me the pictures seemed to think it was a genuine AC Cobra.
Mr. Turbull, if you want to trade some pics, give me a holler, I have various old Cobra pics I would trade for a good front 3/4 & rear 3/4 of this Mexican car.

These are the only 3 pics I have. I'd be willing to trade one of the front shots for another 427 car if you're interested.

You should know how much Comp cars changed hands in their first few years..

CSX3011 crossed at Mecum in 2006; from their write-up on the car:

CSX 3011...was the first of the production 427 Competition Cars that wasn’t pre-sold to a customer. An internal Shelby American memo listed 3011 as a “Shelby/Salvadori” car to be tested and then sent to the “show car” department for storage. Early in 1966, three 427 Cobras, including this car, were rented to MGM Studios for use in an Elvis Presley movie which was released as “Spinout.”...From there the car traveled to Mexico where it was owned and raced by hall of fame racer, Moises Solana.

I did a photo and detail shoot of CSX3011 this past summer...it is back in red with full windscreen, in the hands of a prior owner.
