Shelby's Cobra
Bitzman -
You are getting your Cobras mixed up. Shelby's Twin-Paxton cars never had Cammers in them. The black Cobra with a 427 SOHC you saw at SAAC I in Oakland, CA, was CSX3208. It is now red, still has a Cammer in it, and resides in the Detroit area.
Shelby's Twin-Paxton car is CSX3015 - it has been thrashed over the years, and restored at least four times that I'm aware of - but, it has never been totaled. The car Rick Wurth restored in the early eighties was Shelby's car - NOT Cosby's. This is the car that is coming to B-J. It WAS black a couple times, and was repainted blue a couple times, too. It was shown at SAAC 20 in Charlotte in blue; at SAAC 25 at LimeRock in black; and at SAAC 26 in Charlotte in black. It was owned by a collector in PA. It is now owned by a collector in AZ, and was recently restored to it's original blue color.
Cosby's Twin Paxton car, CSX3303, was destroyed when Tony Maxey went off PCH with it (a fairly substantial portion of PCH skirts the Pacific Ocean, but, you already know that). The mangled pieces ended up in England, where a new body and frame were made for it. That car has not been seen for some time.
