Tim:

CSX 3007 was originally invoiced to Bradley Wagner of Springfield, Illinois. It was subsequently reconfigured by Shelby--under work order #13234--to a drag car. Car was sold to Perry Reese in the late 60s. Sold in the 70s to Lenn Abell (GA), the car is owned by a Japanese collector in Yokohama.

There is no evidence in the Registry that the car's original owner was from California.. Shipping charges to Illinois for $470 seem to negate that fact. There is no mention of where Mr. Reese was domiciled, but he wasn't the original owner, either. No mention of a James Bond connection. Maybe people confused the Cobra with a Aston Martin DB 5. Hard to imagine, though.

Initial purchase price was $11,044.00 with trailer.

BTW, Rich Mason also owned the famous Delmo Johnson '62 Sebring Corvette--the one that pre dates the '63 ZO6 you mentioned.
