I just purchased CSX4241 a week ago today. I sold My 68 GT500#1428 to accomplish this. since then it has rained every day and I am waiting on my Classic license plates. This is okay as it gives me time to get underneatha and learn more about this Car. This is as close as I can get to a REAL COBRA as it is issued by Carroll Shelby. Sadly, production on these cars has been plagued with stop and go issues and has left an incredible backlog of anxious owners to be. I opted for a completed car and am Happy with the results. Fit and finish is very nice. Frame has excellent welds. anybody who knows COBRAS cannot knock these cars. although they are Reproductions of the Original Cars, They are the Top of the Line. will post some pics shortly.
CSX4305 40th Anniversary #26 460 stroker supercharged. As far as I know, one of only two Anniversary cars that are supercharged. All factory installed. Happy new year everyone. Will be at Vegas 9, anyone else going? Have already paid for track time. Can't wait.
I'll see you there Allan. Are you taking the cruise to Red River Canyon? JDOG, when did you order your car? What engine? B)
I just purchased CSX 4236 It has 18 miles on it since new. Shelby aluminum 427 engine with a TKO 5 speed transmission. 17" Halibrand wheels and comp. sidepipes. The car was built by Billy Andrews at HRE Motorcars, in NY.
Nice to see ya on board! I spoke with that owner previous to you buying that car. It is very nicely put together. Billy built my car as well. Early Vegas built Cars and NO WAITING!!
CSX4266 Aluminum body, aluminum Shelby 472 CI motor built by Dave Dralle. TWM Fuel Injection. Dyno reads 613 HP & 597 ft./lbs. torque.
I just posted some photos of my engine! A 1966 427fe side oiler, bored & stroked to 600/600! I ordered CSX4795 in Nov 03, and I still don't know when I might get the car. jdog B)
Jdog, I almost did the same as you. I was ready to leave a deposit on the 39,900 special myself. I am not gloating or saying you did the wrong thing by ordering your car, but I just did not like the idea that nobody had a car for me to look at, or could guarantee me a car on a promised date. everything happens for a reason. I just hope what happened to you and the others still waiting turns out to be a REALLY GOOD REASON!! You are a good man for not getting on the negative side of the issue as others have. and they have their right to feel that way. I just do not see how Negativity ever brought something Positive to a conclusion. especially in this situation. Have you been down to HST? I will say this to you and the others waiting. If your car will be anything like mine is, It is well worth the grief you have suffered. Fiberglass or Aluminum, a CSX4000 Series Cobra will always be something the others cannot be. Genuine. If you cannot wait, Go order a Kirkham. They are awesome, just a different VIN #. That is how I see it. Hopefully you will be Rolling in your car by late Spring.
Man I just love CSX4266 one very nice Cobra. Well mine as some on this forum know was just completed. Well are they ever completed? Still doing a little fine tuning, certainly want to have it looking good for Shelby does Vegas. B) In this picture I just got it off the jack stands it had been sitting on for the past three months while it came together. Still need to adjust the suspension so that it hugs the tires more. Also have switched out the street Good Years for Bill Board GOOD YEARS that I got from Dick Smith last week.
Morgan, you sure have a way with words. I can't wait to see that car of yours in Vegas. If all goes well, mine will be in the Shelby display at Barrett-Jackson. Are you coming out to AZ for that?
Here is a picture of the 427 center oiler. It dynoed at 495 HP with 535 ft. pounds of torque. It stock stroke, at least for now
Unfortunately This month and the next is going to be crazy. Heading to Austrailia and New Zealand on the 29th for work. And traveling for four day in Northern CA the week before that. Would love to get AZ but its just not in the cards this year. take care, Morgan
