Ned,
That would be the one! New old paint 3047, what a car. The car is a true original in every sense and a great pleasure to view.
Hopefully we will see it at SAAC34?

More small world stuff. Before the Cobra, I had a Sunbeam Tiger with a transplanted Hi Po 289 that I drag raced in 1967 and 68. I used to pit with the Rye Ford guys when they were running their SS Mustang at National Speedway on Long Island: http://www.dragtimes.com/video-viewer.php?v=2c_bTXtodQU I ran A/Sp, a class for which my modded car should have been illegal, but the drag racing crowd didn't pay a lot of attention to "them litle furrin cars", so I won a bunch of trophies beating XKEs, stock Tigers, etc.
We moved from the New York area in 1977, and lost direct contact with Carter, although a close, mutual friend kept us updated on his adventures. Although my wife and I were among the (very few) guests at the party the Dysons threw at Mandalay Farm in honor of his (very brief) marriage, he always struck me as a tremendously conflicted human being, a guy who had it all, but seemed to be unhappy in his skin. |

Yah....
....ya lucky b*sturds. In '68 I was 16 and only dreaming about owning a Cobra, not helped along by having two of 'em in the Montclair/Verona area of Essex County in NJ. Marco's pics are especially nice since I spent a lot of time in the town he lived in during the 70's with friends.....never did see his car, tho.
But Island Dragway was much in use then, and there's lots of pics from the mid-60's on from there.

So next time we come across a genuine 427, is it OK to scratch the top layer of paint off to discover what color it was new? It's all in the name of research I tell you.....

The Ferrari girls get into this fight all the time , SN GT3101 shipped before GT3092 etc...
Too funny 40+ years later.
it is truly amazing to have a NO HIT cobra 40 years on, we have a customer with a 289 that he bought about 36 years ago and he crashed it several times 35,32,29 and 25 years ago.
He also has blown up engines 34,30,28, 20 and 15 years ago.
so you can see it is very much dependent on ownership.
so this is a true achievement.

Via Sal (Power Surge) off of abother site:
-------------------
Just got word from some friends that CSX3021 just sold for 3 million dollars (plus 8% fees) at auction.
That makes it the third highest selling Shelby Cobra to date, next to CSX3015 (the SuperSnake) that sold for 5 million, and one of the 6 Daytona Coupes (the ex- Phil Spector car) that sold for 4 million a few years back.
CSX3021 was one of the most original, unmolested 427 S/Cs in existance, also one of only two cars painted Hertz Gold.
-------------------
Nice!  |

Slight correction CSX3021 would not be in third place, two Coupes plus an FIA roadster have sold for more. |

Also, I heard that CSX2311 sold for $540 + 8% commission and had the same source told me same price reported on this thread, $3 mil plus 8% for sale of CSX 3021. Some folks still have deep pocket money left for toys . B
