Production figures and CSX-numbers
 

Can anybody help me out on this one :

I keep reading about 655 leaf-spring and 348 coil-spring Cobra's being built in the sixties, but I never manage to find out what ranges of CSX-numbers make up for these 655 and 348 cars ;

Perhaps somebody with a registry at hand is willing to help me ?

I don't have my Registry handy. The leaf-sprung Cobras sold in the U.S. had serial numbers beginning with CSX2000. The coil-sprung cars were CSX3000-series numbers. Here is some data on the breakdown by variants:

This data was taken from a Cobra website a while back. I can't recall which one and can't vouch for it being 100% accurate, but it looks pretty close to me--
