Scuderia. The CSX7000 series cars are fibreglass bodied 'continuation' replica cobras offered by Shelby American. This particular one was apparently purchased by XK's Unlimited, a specialty car seller, in San Luis Obispo, California, some time in the last 1-3 years, and finished by them as a replica FIA competition car. I might be wrong, and if so, apologies, but I got the impression that you thought it was an original racing cobra, and not a replica, or as Shelby calls them "a continuation". Genuine Shelby, yes, original, no. Shelby American also offers this body style in aluminum, the CSX7500 series (aluminum bodies are made by Kirkham at a former mig factory in Poland). Adios, Rick.
