The advertisement implies that the original "mold" would be used to create replacement bodies. Someone else claimed that the AC replacement bodies were actually made by Brian Angliss and that AC was just acting as a middle man, and they were simply cut out of the picture when you could just buy the bodies from Brian directly.
I see. That all makes sense, but is still over 20-25 years ago and several business owners from when the car was made. I'll be the first to admit I don't know for sure WHO actually made the CSX1000 series bodies, but if I had to guess, I'd guess maybe Brooklands.

I am sure once Ron, Trev, or some of the other Cobra smarts see those pics, they will know if they are the original bucks or not. Just going off my memory of seeing pics in the past, they don't look like them to me.
