I wonder if the red carpet was owner added? I am confident the shifter boot and shift knob and red door pockets were.

Beautiful car but another example of the kids could care less - or dividing dad's estate equally takes priority. You can't divide the car but the cash splits easily.

 Even in retirement, however, the consignor and his sons would periodically exercise CSX 2003 on weekends, ensuring it remained in proper working order while safeguarding its remarkable originality.

In recent years, as the owner's health has begun to limit his ability to fully enjoy the car, he has made the difficult decision to part with this beloved Cobra. His hope is that CSX 2003 will find a new custodian who can appreciate and enjoy it as much as he has throughout his long stewardship. As he reflects on his decades with the car, he notes poignantly that "it's more than a car...it's part of the family."

The auction is probably the furthest west this car has been. It seems from the history except for a short stint in Colorado this car was born and spent all its life east of the Mississippi.
