looks to me like COB6113

Cool photos!

Those look like S/C fender flares on the 427 Cobra.

Can you make out the car's license plate on your photos/negatives? The watermarked pics you shared are too low-res to read.

SOLD at a hammer price of $6.3 million USD plus buyer's premium

Not sure of the VIN

I've been pulling together a large album of celebrities and their Shelby Cobras.

Pop on over to Flickr for a look-see:

Two weeks to go, which seems a good time to wish happy holidays to our Shelby community.

no, she's Terry Bagley, not Angie Dickinson

I think that that is Angie Dickinson. Google "Angie Dickinson Cobra". Those pictures and more, were likely taken at Riverside.

no, this is CSX2299. the door cutline completely rules it out as 2287

The Monkees '68 One of the most interesting of the original Daytonas is the prototype, CSX2287, also the only US-made car.

It was raced extensively at Daytona, Sebring, Spa, Reims (and even the Bonneville Salt Flats), which only added to its value

Looks like CSX2009, assuming this is from the 1963 race

Pretty sure that's P/1028

Phil ?

No, that's Stan Bennett at the 1967 SCCA Regionals in Kent WA.

Unless I'm mistaken with my chassis identification, P/1052 is set to cross the auction block at Mecum Kissimmee, Jan 2-14, 2024.

According to the catalogue description, this original MkI road car hasn't been seen publicly in nearly 30 years and was just restored by RUF Automobiles.

1966 Shelby GT350 stuck in the snow somewhere in New York state:

Sorry to say that I found a couple boo-boos in the latest edition of The Shelby American magazine.

1. This short article about the 427 Cobra that Peter Klutt showed at Pebble Beach last month erroneously refers to the car as the one Barn Find Hunter Tom Cotter uncovered in 2018. That particular car was CSX3278. The car Klutt showed at Pebble was CSX3349 (not CSX2249), the Penn Brothers drag car.

You can watch the Hagerty Barn Find Hunter episodes featuring CSX3278 here:

2. This short article tells the story of how Marilyn Monroe had been interested in buying a pink Cobra shortly before her tragic death. Now I can't say whether or not the text/story is true, but the accompanying image definitely isn't. It's a joke photo I created back in May 2021. I had modified a real photo of Marilyn reading the script to "Niagara" to look like the cover of the AC Cobra chassis manual.    This joke photo has gone mildly viral. I've since learned it was also used on a cover of the AC Owners Club magazine last year.

I don't see how removing post counts will change anything regarding jerk behavior.
