In March of 2005, I bought the title and rights to CSX2404. This car was stolen in 1979 from a Mr. Dunn of Warwick, RI. Mr. Hoke Rawlins of Classic insurance of Atlanta paid Mr. Dunn for his loss and kept the title until it was sold to me. It is now titled in my name in South Carolina. I have all documents and bill of sale including a letter from Mr. Rawlins, the owner of the insurance company.
This car started with a motor, transmission, radiator, and differential from an original Cobra from Lynn Park's collection of rare Cobra parts. Mike McCluskey did the aluminum body to exact 289 specs and did the paint, suspension, brakes, and more. David Wagner did an excellent job on the final assembly, using correct, original parts from front to rear. We hunted down all the hard to find parts; all old SW gauges in an original Cobra dash, clock, glove box lock, alternator, surge tank, valve covers, cast iron headers, and much more, even a set of NOS AC knock-offs. The trunk is complete with a jack, top bows, top, and side curtains. All the numbers are in the proper places.
Calling this 289 an original is stretching it a long way
