werthie, You're absolutely correct. CSX2006 was one of the first 16 Cobras manufactured for homoligation for FIA recognition in 1962 and was subsequently the first "street" car sold. Herbie Hancock bought it and by all reports still owns and loves it. CSX2011 was one of the first three race cars prepared by the Shelby crew. The very early history, prior to December 1962, is a bit vague but by the time the team got to Nassau for the 1962 FIA sanctioned race the Cobras were recognized by FIA and CSX2011 was in the hands of John Eberly (aka Everly) making it the first factory prepared race car in private hands. From that point the history is fairly well recorded up through the time that I quit racing in 1967. From that time till this the on-track activities are all SAAC.
