The car sitting next to Gordon Gimbel's original USRRC 289 Cobra (CSX2514) #52 is a John's Custom Fabrication replica that was built by and owned by Gary Cook in Sacramento, Ca. Gary was running the #49 Datsun 240Z that was pitted next to Gordon's Cobra. Gary will be glad to hear that he did such a good job on the car that is was questioned as an original.

Are you absolutely sure about that? Because the photo of CSX2271 on page 185 of the 2008 SAAC registry looks exactly like the one I photographed. Silver mink. Black quick jacks (rear facing). Unique chin spoiler. Grille insert. Torq Thrust wheels. Raydyot side mirror midway up the window frame.

What is Gary's license plate number? The one I photographed is 518 RAL (California). It's got the "Carroll Shelby Motors" license plate frame and a sticker on the trunk lid that reads, "In memory Nancy 19."

Pls don't take my questions the wrong way. Am just trying to figure out which car it is.
