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.
