" The first of the 'Sanction II' 427 Competition Cobra's to be completed (CSX3065) is a spectacular 1965 Shelby Cobra 427 aluminum body clad in Le Mans Blue paint with Wimbledon White Le Mans stripes and black interior. The period correct details are carried throughout the vehicle from the engine to the race ready suspension. Each of the 34 remaining 'Sanction II' 427 Cobras come with an MSO signed by Carroll Shelby listing it as a 1965 Shelby Cobra. This series of the Cobra will also be submitted and listed in the Shelby American Automobile Club Registry. Contact DenBeste Motorsports for information on purchasing this limited edition piece of American automotive racing history."

And folks, for what it's worth, the plural of Cobra Is COBRAS. It's not Cobra's!
UPDATE!

Hmmm. As I mentioned, I haven't followed the press releases; I am reading about them here. We are just too busy. Maybe we didn't make that one in the press release after all. I don't know anything about CSX3065; we built CSX3066 for DenBeste. I just assumed we made the one we were talking about in this thread, as we just delivered it to DenBeste.

Maybe they wrote the number down wrong?

Maybe that one in the press release isn't the one we built? I'm pretty sure we are not the only one building these.

EDIT!

I just got off the phone with the guys at DenBeste and they confirmed we did NOT make the car in the press release. The car we made hasn't been painted yet.
