Slab side in a parking lot
Saturday while attending the All Ford Car Show sponsored by The Rocket City Mustang Club I saw a slab side Cobra sitting in the parking lot next to the show. Four or five years ago while I was attending the same show I saw a black Cobra with a lot of miles on it, sitting about the same place, I did not have my camera with me that time. But this time I did, so I took 30 pictures of CSX 2310. I don't think this is the same Cobra that I saw a few years back, but both are owned by the same guy. Dan has two CSX Cobras. I'll try to post two picture here.
They are posted in the North Alabama Cobra Club gallery.
enjoy
Dwight

Swanny80,
Sent you an e-mail before Dwight posted these pics. They capture my thoughts on a future KMP very well...

Same beat up old car, close to the same place.
Yesterday was perfect for a roadster ride, looked at some cars old (really liked the 1966 Mustang that was silver with red interior and the original owner September 1964 Mustang) and new, talked to people from decades ago, got lunch at Sonic in a roadster, and then drove some more……….

Dan, thanks for bring your Cobra to the show. We enjoyed looking at it.

"Dan Case

I, too, saw my first Cobra in Huntsville in the mid 1960s. I worked at Redstone Arsenal and drove to work through what must have been the SE gate every morning. About once a week, I'd hear the siren call of side pipes and look around to see a Cobra cruising to work in the same clump of traffic. After I saw it the first time, I looked for it every morning. ... Great memories.

Dark blue? If so, it might have been Tom Odom's home grown racer. He sold the Cobra and bought a Can-Am car that he drove out on the base. At one point there was at least eleven (11) Cobras and a three (3) 427 Cobras and a GT40MKI in Huntsville at the same time before 1972. There was a GT40MKII in Decatur until about 1983. CSX2144 was in sight of my house and Tom’s was over the hill. I wanted to buy Tom’s in the 1970s but I had just bought a Boss 429 and was broke at the time. It is said that Tommy Andrews took a death car wrecked Cobra to salvage yard and watched it get cut into pieces. They say the engine went to a late model stock car for Huntsville Speedway, the transmission to a hot rod, I saw the intake manifold said to have come from it, and I had a steering wheel in the 1970s believed to be from it.

I sold a few guns to buy my Cobra kit. I sold one to Bill Collins in Huntsville. He ask me why I was selling the gun and I told him I was going to buy a kit. He told me he had bought a real Cobra for $5200 and sold it for $15,000 a few years later. He thought he had made a lot of money till he found out it was worth $30,000.
I don't remember if he told me anything about the car. Do you know him?
He still lives in Huntsvile.
I'll contact him and get the details of the car.
