Well, after years of drooling I finally own a car!

CSX6120 arrived last Wednesday. It was a one owner 870 mile car built by SC Motorsports in Mustang OK, finished in late 2015. She has a Keith Craft 482 alum FE & David Kee top loader. The original owner built it to look as if it was right off the showroom floor, which fits my taste perfectly.

Quite a feeling to watch it being unloaded in my front yard!

Beautiful car very clean congrats :MECOOL:

Perfect! Drive it like you stole it. But not too hard because you can swap front end with the rear end in a heartbeat!

Congratulations, she looks great!

Be careful on the Billboard tires. I have 6128 which was completed in 2015 ( I bought mine early March) and had a similar mileage to yours. The tires look new ( and they do look great!) with plenty of tread but being at least 5 years old, I am going to replace them with a set of Avons.

Looks great. Take your time and get used to it. It will be a fun drive and unlike anything you have driven.

I have balloon tires on my 67 Jag Etype which is like learning a new language cus I grew up on low profiles.

She’s a beauty, congrats!

I drove it down to Roger Krauss' on Friday and put new tires on it. From the receipts I have it looks like the chassis was completed in 2013 so I figured the old tires were about aged out. I'm a sucker for the billboard look but boy they hunt something terrible.

Car handles great. Crow Canyon Road was quite fun, especially being able to tap the pedal and run away from the Mustang that was riding my rear!

I'm hoping to get it on a rack later this week to have a look at things, but so far so good

Enjoy and drive it!
Congrats

That is the way to buy a Cobra! Already built, sorted, no wait, super low miles and PERFECT! Congratulations and have fun!

Alfa02 06-15-2020 07:56 AM

Congrants Dan, she's as Ol'Shel intended, wide body, blue, and LOTS of HP ;) as others have said, dance with her slowly, we want you around for many years :) Yes, Billboard's look cool, but being Bias-belted are a real handful, glad you changed to radials. Cheers TommyRot.

TimG427 06-15-2020 09:11 AM

Congratulations, that car looks beautiful. Good move on the Avons, you will like them.

fastd 06-15-2020 09:33 AM

that all aluminum FE is pretty bad-ass. How high does it rev?

rodneym 06-15-2020 10:04 AM

Congratulations! That's a slam dunk right there.

Hi guys, I don't want to change the OP, but I'm setting up a Group Buy for AVON tires, so if you're interested here...
