Wow. Just goes to prove there are still some of them left "out there" I guess. Does anyone know the CSX number? Ned? Did you know about this one?

What's a new aluminum body go for these days on a car like this?

I wondering if I would keep it stock or consider an FIA body? Those skinny rear fenders always bugged me.

After reviewing the registry, could it be CSX2388?   Stan Cox is listed as the owner and it mentions a wreck in about late 70's, but then the history gets a bit jumbled from there; so I am not sure if that is the correct number or not.

I tried to get this guy to let loose of it awhile back but he was going to fix it himself

For the cobra experts, what is a car in this condition worth?

The original body is being used for the restoration, not the replacement body shown in the video. Only a small amount had to be replaced, the rest is restorable. It still has its original engine also.
