Title: Bill Cosby Cobra
Post by: 1175 on September 07, 2018, 10:18:31 PM
Is there any chance this is a real photo of Mr Cosby's Supernake Cobra.  Found it on the internet looking for something else.  Does it look photoshopped?

I believe this is Carroll's Super Snake, CSX3015. Pretty sure that by the time this episode was filmed, Cosby had already sold his.

Here is the one that Jimmy Webb bought - I can't remember if it is the ex Shelby or ex Cosby Cobra.

Webb's car was the former Shelby car, CSX 3015.

With Webb in the news lately (Sally Field accusations), I looked him up on Bing.

I didn't realize he wrote so many of the hits others sang. All this time I thought Glen Campbell was more than just a damn good singer and guitar player. Webb wrote most of his big hits.

Maybe he should have written even more hit songs. Webb lost the Cobra to the IRS.

I heard that Cosby's Cobra was also sentenced from three to ten years in the city pound (or equivalent wrecking yard) for harassment due to the leather folds in the seat making the passengers uncomfortable.

There is no way the Crosby car can exist today! When S&C Ford had the car I tried to buy it but my dad would not co-sign the loan. Awhile later Tom Maxey was killed in the car. I saw the car (reminds) at S&C Ford. Since I ended up with the side pipes (don't ask how), Gordon Gimble got the salvage title, the engine went to a roadster & the body was a mangled mess, wanta bees can dream. Check the registry for the real facts!

Also, Cosby really never owned the car to the best of my research!

Interesting. I knew one of the two was destroyed. Didn't know which one. I have the Registry. I should have looked it up.

If you want real "interesting," what you need to do is find Richard "Little Dick" Crapford, who swears that every piece of paperwork SAAC has managed to acquire over the years on Cobras (not to mention Shelbys) is false and that the registries, the registrars, and the club itself are all working to make themselves rich by publishing false data on all the cars. Exactly how we are expected to get rich by doing this has not yet been revealed. But as for CSX 3015 and 3303, Crapford insists that neither is what the factory paperwork says they are, and that the two Supersnakes were different cars by his determination. Of course, he has no ulterior motive for making these claims, as the fact that he has friends who claim to own the "real" versions of these cars is completely unconnected to his pronouncements. Right.

Is he the FBI PI CIS part time detective investigator PI FBI?

"Is he the FBI PI CIS part time detective investigator PI FBI?"

Only in his warped little mind. The FBI office in L.A. has never heard of him, other than they'd like to locate him to ask why he claims to be working for them. His "IPI/FBI" claim is his way of making people think he is an independent private investigator working on behalf of the FBI. I guess anyone could claim to be that, but the problem is that first you need a brain. He therefore fails step one.

If we say his real name, liable to get lawsuit letters in the mail.  The guy is crazy, have had the (un)pleasure of speaking with him in the past.

People with air cars should be very afraid if Ned's records ever get called into court. First time I met Ned (mid 1970s) he had his little notebook and pen in hand taking down CSX #s and keeping details. I still want one of his Acutron watches too.

Yep, that is just a portion of this lying P.O.S.'s handiwork. He's a beauty. Especially as he sold the guy the car he attacks in this blog, now saying everything he told him about it is false and the car is not what it is said to be. SAAC has proven the truth about the car, and that is how it is being represented. Crapford doesn't like that and has been trying to rip it apart every chance he gets. He is mentally ill.

R & T got the story correct, although they had no reason to mention the car's chassis number, which - for Crapford's benefit - is definitely CSX 3015. And the Cosby car was CSX 3303.

Wow, they could use that as an ad for lithium.  He could certainly stand for some psychiatric intervention.

A number of us who have had contact with the man have been suggesting this for many years. The need is obvious.
