Thanks Purple Venom. Do you have any more information about the ownership string from delivery to today?
Regards,
Ed

No eS I don't. Surely someone on here has access to the Cobra registry.

Just curious, does anyone have any idea what a Cobra like this would be expected to sell for at the auction?

As with any car, depends on the buyer. When I bought my replica, it was worth every penny I paid, but not to others.

At $250K, I would guess this was some time ago or a car with many issues. |

As per SAAC registry:
Shipped to LA on SS Villanger 11/15/64. Invoiced to FoMoCo general accounting office.
(meaning a car used by executives in-house, like Chevy COPO cars) returned to Shelby in LA in '65 as a used car sold in '65 to Taylor American Automotive Enterprises in LA in "as-is" condition. Next known owner is Frank Jurin of Santa Rosa CA who advertised it for sale in 10/72 for $6,000, didn't sell. For sale again in '74. Acquired by Bob Epstein, Piedmont CA who sold in '75 Car now has Chrome wires dyed (Blk) int and flares and Boss 302 asking $14,000. End of known ownership. Presumably your guy bought it from Epstein and put it away.

Kurtmart,
Thanks so much. That was the history I was hoping to uncover. I never cease to be amazed by the twisting and frequently obscure paths these cars take as they move forward in time.
Each one is an epic story in itself. Thanks again for shedding additional light on the route this particular car took.
Ed

This has been a very interesting thread to follow.
"Barn finds" still do exist.

Yes, it's been an interesting thread, thanks Kurtmart. What info do you have on CSX 2346?
ES - I can start another thread if you would like, don't think this is a hijack as it pertains to same type of request.
A-Snake - the purchase price was merely my speculation, not based on actual. Sorry, should have clarified that.
I have other pictures if interested, let me know. |

OK PV. CSX 2346 Silver/Black int
Shipped to LA on SS Pacific Fortune 3/64. Invoiced by Shelby to Vel's Ford Sales Torrance CA. Car picked up by Vel's employee at Shelby. Remained unsold as of 8/64 Ownership unclear until late 70's. Next recorded owner T Micheal Speidel MN Repainted maroon. Car appeared at SAAC-8 Dearbron MI 7/83 taking 1st place in concours Cobra division and pictured in Shelby American #42. Purchased in mid 80's by George Gillette Nashville TN and appeared at Christies Monterey 8/90 where it was purcahsed by collector Jerry J Moore Houston TX. Then Barrett-Jackson 1/96 Scottsdale and bought by an anonymous buyer from Petersburg IL ( your friend?) Last known plate is "REAL ONE".
Unusual part is the close up of the tag in the engine bay says 1965 Cobra. It's really a '64!
Hope this helps.

PurpleVenom,
I don't have a problem. Seems to be the same type of story/issue to me. I usually don't get real proprietary about thread real estate. Usually makes better threads for the other members.

Thanks Ed, some folks are touchy about that. A couple more:
Check out the factory 'Cobra' radio
A-Snake - assume you have been here?

I notice the Chassis plate for 2436 shows a PA#### for the engine number. Anyone know what the PA stands for?

CSX2225 is now in Gilroy and the engine and braking system is being rebuilt. It does not have the original block, it has a D1ZE BOSS 302 block with Hi po heads, proper balancer etc. It has a Shelby intake and a 650cfm Holley double pumper. It has OE visors, luggage rack, shifter and T10 transmission. All of the instruments appear to be OE.Other than the unfortunate fiberglass flares and Borani wheels the body and related parts are very original and in good condition. This car was last registered in 1977. It was delivered to a Ford exec in Mass. in 64 and sold a year later needing some paint and interior work??
