I'm not sure what you mean, exactly.

All of the original Cobras in there are kept behind the velvet rope, and I suspect that only a serious buyer would be allowed a drive. As it happened, the rope had been left "open" by one of the staff, so I just helped myself to a closer look.

A young employee came by and he was nice enough to pop the hood for me to take some engine pics. Then an old employee came by and asked me to get back behind the rope. Bah, humbug.

CSX3104 is the only one without the "Do not touch" warning on the windshield I'm always accused of having a gray or dull (or both) sense of humor

Did it start as a street car, then get painted with side pipes and roll bar, then converted back to a street car...

Lots of them got added parts back when they were new. I did those mods to mine back then. Now I am liking the street car look.

Still, a good read about the digital splash car for the future Kirkhams.
