Here's a webfind photo of the AC Superblower I described above, in case someone recognizes it.

SAAC-51 / Re: SAAC 51 photos
September 06, 2026, 04:05:08 PM
I looked through this photo collection and was wondering if anyone had any details about the silver Cobra with black interior.
It appears to be a rare AC Superblower in LHD. It might be an ACG14xx or ACSB70xx chassis number.
License plate is obscured, but might read 7AA0520 (MT).
Is the owner a member of SAAC and/or this forum?

Up For Auction / Re: CSX2300 - Daytona Coupe - Gooding Christies Auction - Monterey 2026

The pre-auction estimate for CSX2300 is "in excess of $25 million USD".
Does anyone believe it will reach this price? Seems pretty ambitious to me...

Which car is that? Is it the Eagle Weslake-Ford that Carroll Shelby bought from Dan Gurney (chassis no. 701)?

Good chance it has been brought back to "as built"?
Thanks!

Which early Cobra is now at 3 Dog Garage?
I saw some photos online showing white street roadster, red interiors, worm-and-sector steering and no side vents. I thought it might be CSX2003, which was sold at Broad Arrow Auctions Monterey in Aug 2025. However, some engine bay details don't match (valve covers, intake manifold, air cleaner). These might've been changed since the summer, though.
Can anyone confirm? Thanks.

CSX 3000 Series / Re: Let's post some CSX3000 pictures!
October 03, 2025, 07:26:47 AM
I figured I'd blow the dust off this old thread by posting these webfind photos taken in Sep 2025...
The car is CSX3331. This car has quietly resided with its second owner since 1983, but prior to that, it was a fire-breathing drag racer that the Shelby Owners Association once called the "Fastest Cobra Alive".
Purchased new from Pletcher Ford in 1969, the Cobra's first owner soon replaced the stock 427FE motor with a twin-turbocharged 427 SOHC "cammer" making a claimed 1,100 horsepower and able to break the tires loose at 70-100 mph! The car's original powertrain was re-installed when it was sold to its current owner. CSX3331 currently shares garage space with a Jaguar D-Type and an original Ford GT40 MkI road car.

There are some really excellent pics in these links. Shame about the watermarks, though.

CSX 2000 Series / COB6051 - Wonderful vintage photos of this elusive Cobra
August 30, 2025, 08:33:47 AM
I've recently come across some fantastic period racing images by British amateur photographer Mike Dodman that feature COB6051 in competition. At the time, this AC 289 Cobra was owned by Vic Hassall of Birmingham UK and often driven by himself or Chris Mayman.
Even though the car was raced extensively back in the day, Dodman's pics of COB6051 are the only ones I've ever come across on the interwebs. I haven't seen any images since the Cobra was purchased by Nick Green of Datchet UK circa 1970. If you have any photos to share, please post them for all to enjoy.

Is that an original CSX3000 car, or an ERA Replica?

June 22, 2025, 07:17:14 AMQuote from: 98SVT - was 06GT on June 19, 2025, 04:42:52 PM...The secretary Jay Smith is probably Dr George "Jay" Smith who did drive racecars. This picture was sold on Wellpoint from his collection. It says Laguna Seca but the background isn't right. https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage-1960s-photograph-california-4873479400
I'm sure Kranky would know exactly where/when those Cobra race photos were taken, but my best guess would be the SCCA Nationals at the Port of Stockton in June 1965. Can anyone confirm?
