Title: "skinning snake" Cobra in the Hangar of LAX - 12/65 Motor Racing British Car Mag
Post by: Szabo on September 16, 2022, 06:00:56 PM

Hello,

i found a "Motor Racing" Car Mag from Britain which is from 12 / 65

the Articel has a lot known PR Pics for 66 GT350 Production.

But one pic is very interesting...

we see a CSX3000 Cobra with a dark paint and a white paint over or under it ...
looks like a snake change his skin ;)

The Articel is surley made befor 12/65
we see a 66 GT350,
the Car has to be a Carryover Car because the first GT350 based on 66 chassis
was made after 1965

Any thought are welcome

Greetings

Stephan from Germany

I don't recognize that name either. What is the CSX number so we can look up the history

Don't the car manufacturers use 'Dynock" for covering the clay models n glossy paint colors.
Is that what we are seeing in this photo with the peeling paint?
I've never run into any photos like that before from Shelby American.

You guys don't recognize a Guernsey when you see one? ;D

I guess being from the dairy state has its advantages

That must be farmland humor from the midwest. Yes, it's wasted on us suburbanites in the northest.
My family in Cunningham, PA has a horse farm with acres of corn fields, but cows are not familiar to me.

Is that supposed to be related to Dan Gurney?

I literally laughed out loud! Glad I wasn't drinking my milk at the time.

Thx Coralsnake!
