I picked up my first original Cobra emblem circa 1971. Once I got a second kind I thought it would be a great collectable. I have been watchful for decades trying to get one of everything a new Cobra had when its first owner bought it. I am close to getting one of everything I have documented so far. I have one of all the front and rear emblems now I think.
When CSX2001 was taken home by its original owner he took pictures and movies of the brand new car. Remember not all Cobras went to California for final assembly. It had three different emblems front and rear, a solid AC, two S1CS-A emblems one each front and rear, and a script AC.
This solid AC emblem was removed from very early CSX20XX Cobra that didn't go to California. It was updated to a S1CS-C emblem later at its owner's request.
This script AC came out of Europe. I bought it from a man that said it came from a European Cobra when it got updated to the S1CS-C emblem.
This S1CS-A emblem was removed from a Cobra that was converted to racing early in its days.
