Hi Jim,
You posted: "A correction is needed. There were two factory Dragonsnakes, CSX2019 and CSX2357. There were four factory prepared Dragonsnakes for customers, CSX2248, CSX2427, CSX2472 and CSX3198 (the only 427)
Any others, including CSX2093, were street cars that customers prepared as drag cars using parts from SAI and/or elsewhere."
Just to clarify, in my book on page 50 there is a sidebar entitled "Complete Dragonsnake list by Serial Number" that shows the following (as you suggest):
Factory Dragonsnakes: CSX2019, CSX2357
Factory-Prepared Dragonsnakes: CSX2248, CSX2427, CSX2472
Ind Prepared Cobra Drag Cars known to date: CSX2075, CSX2093, CSX2109
On page 77, I list CSX3198 as the only factory 427 Dragonsnake, and also discuss the two known privately prepared 427 Cobra Drag Cars- CSX3159 and CSX3336.
The list of CSX numbers posted by Dwight and credited to my book were taken out of context, and I made sure to list them by proper designation (ie, factory, factory prepared, independent "Cobra Drag Cars" etc). I certainly appreciate being given credit by Dwight, just wanted to clarify that I made sure to properly list all incarnations of Cobra Dragonsnakes/ Cobra Drag Cars. As we know there are some important distinctions when it comes to this stuff!
Best regards,
Colin
