Did anyone from here go to the Kirtland car show last w/end. I was told there was a Red w white stripe rare original Cobra there. The car was parked by a Green 1954 Ford. The owner of the 54 told me he thought it was from Federal Way area. The hood was only opened a couple of inchs so you really couldn't get a real good look at the engine. The car had the fakie wheel inserts to make it look like knock offs. When did Shelby make Cobras with lug nuts. Somebody out there teach me something on the lug nuts.

Fred,
They never had lug wheels as far as I know and I have seen quite few real ones. Also I dont think 351 where ever in the real ones.

Hi, Carol had a 351 made for himself, and he rated it as one of the best cars he had, I will try to find the CSX number.

Lets see CSX with fake knock offs and a 351. Is it a csz 3??? or 4???? or 5???? or 6???.
Not douthing anyone just trying get on the right side of the fence. If its not a CSX3??? then it must be one of those new found 1960's frames. Could this be the car Carrol had made for himself with a 351????????????????.
