| he is not selling kit cars as 1965's |

| what he has is a limited # of 1965 chassis and bodys that are original 65 pieces they have been stored in a warehouse since 65. in order to have cobras sanctioned for racing he had to produce something like 500 cars. the chassis & bodys were built and numbered but were never assembled. what he did was store the parts and told the racing officals that the cars were sold, therefor the cobra was now race sanctioned. road & track did a big story a few years back we he admitted to what he had done. he does sell a fiberglass copy just like everybody else. i think the vin#'s are something like csx4000 and up or someting. but those are not the ones he is selling as 65's. the aluminum bodied steel chassis units that were put in storage in 65 are what is being sold as a 1965. and if i remember right he said he was only selling off one or two originals a year.im not sure but i think this came to light about 10 or 15 years ago when when cobras were at top dollars, and people were trying to document then that they noticed that a lot of vin# were missing and could not be accounted for. least wise thats the way i remember the article. |
