Not 1963 Le Mans if Carroll was doing donuts at 85 years old. |

Apparently from here at around the 25 second mark. 1991 Shelby Cobra 427 [CSX3056]. Or is it an AC Cobra 427? There's a Shelby American plaque at 20 seconds showing CSX3056 but this is also CSX3056, is right-hand drive, and has no plaque. In '92, Car and Driver did a side-by-side comparison with CSX3056 and a Dodge Viper but there's no front badge or plaque visible. -- Last edit: 2020-06-25 01:32:33 |

Okay, there has to be two chassis designated CSX3056. A visitor to Shelby American photographed this one month before Bonhams sold the AC.![[Image: 7994238470_8e58e65e63_b.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/2517/7994238470_8e58e65e63_b.jpg) |

I was beginning to wonder the same thing from the incompatible evidence presented across the various and well-detailed sources. Before m'learned friends descend with threats of law suits and acknowledging that the Bonhams description of H8 COB says it started as LHD before later conversion to RHD, it does not solve competing claims that Shelby presumably in US "... began to plan the completion of the forty-nine original 427 Cobra Competition Cars which had not been built in 1965, filling in the previously allocated but unused CSX numbers from 3056 through 3100. Working with famed Cobra restorer Mike McCluskey, the first car was completed in June 1991, numbered CSX 3056" versus "This Cobra [CSX3056] was constructed by AC Cars in 1989/90 to 427 S/C specification, using a genuine 427ci high-compression, top oiler (as opposed to side oiler) engine and the enlarged, endurance racing fuel tank. It is believed to be the first of some ten built by AC Cars to this specification." The US-built Shelby/McCluskey strand seems the more likely explanation for this photo; Shelby was 85 in 2008. -- Last edit: 2020-06-25 19:00:47 |

Shelby had been talking to Brian Angliss about a limited-run of 25th Anniversary Cobras but they couldn't come to an agreement whether these would be AC Cobras or Shelby Cobras. Angliss may have started production on his own using the same chassis numbers out of spite. -- Last edit: 2020-06-25 18:56:01 |

Here's another one: CSX3058, completed in California in '91 (or '92) and in England in '95. -- Last edit: 2020-06-25 19:33:11 |
