Default Shelby Registery Question

Car with a unique history for sale on eBay. Is this car really in registery as a footnote or as a Shelby Cobra? Is there really a car without a CSX # in the registry?

Shelby Registry History :

1968 Coil Spring Cobra COB6132 is the last of the 300 some odd Coil Spring Cobras built and is documented in the Shelby Registry. Car was built as a series of 5 cars (COB Vin) for Paramount Pictures in a long chassis form for the filming of a movie - This car was never used and was repurchased by AC Car Ltd in the late 70s after storage by Paramount and subsequently shortened to the standard Cobra Chassis Length and Bodied with a correct aluminum Cobra Body. The car was subsequently sold to Armi Eigelveiter in LA who owned the car for the next 20+ years as part off a large collection. This car has 2800 Original miles and has a high compression 12.5-1 Motor with Ingelesse Induction (4 Webers) . Car has never been restored nor does it require any restoration given its original condition. Car is Red with White Stripes painted in Laquer.

This car has unique history and is considered an Odd Ball within the Shelby registry but this status makes it the most affordable Cobra in the market in the finiest unrestored condition with 2800 original miles. The car is a beast with a strong high performance motor. Requires 100 Octane or boosted fuel.
