This is my 1st visit to the Forum, 1st post, and proud to say I own the real 3060. It was sold to Japanese collector in 1991 and remained at his Newport CA home until he sold it to me in 2005. Prior to making the purchase, I discovered another 3060 had been sold at the B-J Scottsdale auction in 2003. Mike McCluskey who built 7 or 8 completion cars for Shelby verified the one I was looking at was the one he built. I never attempted to contact the owner of the fake 3060 that B-J sold because of the problems it could have created; however, when I received B-J's Sneak Peak 2008 Magazine in December and noticed what appeared to be the same fake 3060 being advertised for a prime time sale at this year's auction, I provided the facts in a letter so they could remove the fake from their auction, which they did. The real 3060 was built blue with white stripes and white side pipes. Mike McCluskey "freshened" it after my purchase with new English wool carpet, padding for the seats and a complete repaint - it's still blue with white stripes but the side pipes are polished metal. It had about 2,000 miles when I purchased it, and I am only adding about 100 miles per year. It has only been in one car show and it received peoples choice and best of show. When I need a Cobra speed fix I drive CSX 4158 which is an aluminum car with an all alloy Shelby 427 built to 468.
Hey, Welcome to the forums and thanks for clearing that one up for us! I was at barrett jackson this year and upon realizing the apparent absense of "csx3060" i knew something fishy was surely up! Sounds like you have got some primo rides. Post some pics of those bad boys if you like! Once again, welcome to the forums. Lots of good people here! Best Regards, Vern
I did a photo shoot of CSX3060 at SAAC-30 (CA) in 2005, as the car sat on a trailer with a For Sale sign on it.
Nice pic When i was at russo, they had 3058...it was in fantastic condition and only got a bid of 200. The seller wanted 225. Best Regards, Vern
