I was looking at a site called something like "CSX InfoNet" and it had a picture from some place called Bowman Motors of a Cobra they identified as CSX3004, which they say was the first production Comp 427 Cobra, "one of 5 with dry sump raced by Paco Godia in various events in Spain with the Monthuich Race Team. "The picture shows a car with wheelwells that seem too big for the tires but the Comp gas cap and oil cooler seems to bear out that it's a Comp car. Has anyone else hard of this team? Did the car ever get repatriated to the US?
You know, you r-e-a-l-l-y have to get a World Registry. "Repatriated"? It's been back for a while. In fact... I remember being with you at Calif Speedway, while you took pictures of t-h-i-s car. Here's some notes from a contemporary sale of this car... "1965 Shelby 427 Cobra Competition Chassis number CSX 3004 ... CSX 3004 is the first coil spring chassis, 427-powered competition Cobra built by Shelby American. Originally built for Francisco Godia in Spain, its complete history -- except for its competition record in Sr. Godia's hands -- is known throughout its life. It was restored in the early 90's by Cobra experts Stauffer Classics to its original configuration and colors. As the earliest competition 427 Cobra, CSX 3004 displays several unique transitional features including its 289-style instrument panel and the forward-braced 289-style roll bar, making it instantly recognizable as a unique and special car.

"CSX InfoNet" You mean csxinfo.net? You don't believe everything you read or see on the internet do you Wallace?
