Don't have an explanation.
But I know for a fact that the Costilow and Larson car is NOT a DragonSnake. They originally bought the car off Ladd Motors used car lot in Lebanon, Pa (between Harrisburg and Lancaster). Bruce Larson and the Shelby American World Registry confirm that.
Those bozos on the Mecum broadcast, and whoever wrote the description in the auction catalog, wouldn't know a DragonSnake if it bit them. I guess they think that if it has a picture of a Cobra with wheels, that makes it a DragonSnake.
My old ride had a picture of a Cobra with wheels, too. But the Baldwin Motion King Cobra was also a street car converted to drag race configuration.
I've talked with both Bruce and Ed Hedrick about the Costilow and Larson Cobra. What an awesome car. Bruce sold at the right time. Ed and I commiserated about selling when we did.
