This is a rare, factory turn-key built Cobra by ERA Replication (2002). Meticulously optioned and fully sorted, it was custom-finished in Frost Pearl with a Maroon stripe to duplicate the iconic CSX 2173. Titled legally as a 1964, this car needs absolutely nothing but a new garage.

Appears to be missing a Grabber Orange 69/70 

I believe this one may be a recreation, somewhere in the back of my head I've seen the chassis before.

Only one Gold GT500 fastback, and as of today, I believe it is still Gold in color

    I love the stuff you had come through your hands. Now if the Harris Speedster was ever finished

With the air cleaner assembly properly installed, take one hand and grasp the heat rider tube, gently move it towards the air cleaner assembly until it is aligned, then push down on the air cleaner snorkel until the heat riser tube seats against it. Again, it's easy to do if the parts you have are correct for the engine, to make it a bit easier, loosen the air cleaner wing nut to allow additional movement.

Got some touch up I want to do on the mesh trim and a couple of the emblems. Can anybody who's done this recommend the correct paint and/or technique? I just figured on finding a similar paint and using a very small paint brush. Any other ideas are welcome.

Go to your local hobby shop, they will have the touch up brushes and the paint colors you require.

Yes, it really is that simple.

Hello SAAC Forum,
I have been a SAAC member for 22 years.

I just purchased CSX4147, and could use some help on its history. It comes with the original statement of origin dated 1999. It also comes with the paperwork from NY where the engine was installed. Other than the gentleman I purchased from, and knowing it was in NY prior to his ownership, I was hoping to see if there
is any additional history.

I went to the cobra registry, and that did not have anything.

Appreciate the help.
Thanks, Sean

Originally delivered to Billy Andrews at HRE as what must only be described as a "pallet" car (my words, not located within the actual registry, but given the following information, once can surmise, I'll leave it at that) per the 4th edition of the World Registry of Cobras and GT40's (publishing date unknown), with the following deleted items noted:wheels, sidepipes, vinyl upholstery, and headers. Also uncertain if the fiberglass body was painted or not at that time.

This is the car with the 351W "stroked" to "427cid"
Appears to have bought and sold a number of times:
Discussion from the new in 2024 owner getting ready to sell his ERA:

Where he bought it on BAT:

Sold on Cobra country
https://www.cobracountry.com/cars-for-sale/shelby-427sc-cobra-csx4147-szambel/
Then sold to you on BAT just recently:

That is all I see in my records, club cobra is down, as it has been on and off (mostly off) for the last few years, so I cannot dig into any other posts there at this time.

Hope you find this helpful

Bill
