So SAAC has already accepted these cars into the Registry as 3000 series Cobras? We have SAAC members here and in fact..hmmm a moderator here is a SAAC official and concours judge and Ned is SAAC original Cobra Registrar. What say they about the "new" CSX 3000 series being placed in the Registrar as CSX 3000s? Someone must have the inside scoop. I think we already know where Ned stands. My guess is that this "competition" "completion"??? "CSX3000" series car will get a lot of push back from SAAC and the article may have spoken out of school or have relied on incorrect info.
While I agree with David you can't rely on the press to report accurately, and I can personally attest to that, Kirkham assembled the first car David is here and can tell us....
David, is the car built to comp specs or SC specs...which? We all know there are major differences. Is it that it was built to SC specs but its now called the "competition" series?
That's makes sense.
More confusion.
As to the MSO's. It's easy. If they are autopen and if its like any other color copy you should not be able to see pen impressions or see the signature through the reverse side. My MSO has an original signature. You can see it through the reverse side and see the pen impression marks.
Are they Continuation MSOs? Are they different. My MSO references the car as a 1965 also. Clearly incorrect.
Also if they are original signatures the signatures will vary from MSO to MSO.
Can we see some samples? If they are all exactly, exactly alike its auto pen.
If I am buying one of these cars and I am told its an original signature on the MSO I will know the difference. We aren't all as stupid as they may think we are.
