Yup, all you guys that baby your Cobras, I saw CSX2001, the first Cobra sold to customers, being driven in a drizzle the other day.
It was to the Art Center College of Design concours. It always used to be in August and hotter than hell so they moved it to October, and it pours. Bruce Meyer the owner of the car roared into the tent they had for a few of the cars and gave a short intro to the car, saying that it was one of a dozen
early Cobras delivered to Ed Hugus in Penn. because Shelby had ordered the cars but didn't have the money to pay for them. I had never heard that dozen figure before, Ed himself told me the first three, but anyhow I am sure Meyer has done lots of research. The car is black. It was raced in Europe with a non factory hardtop but he and McCluskey restored it without the hardtop.
