Re: What are your favorites???

Hello,

Yes, I agree with you that Dick Smith's car was the winningest 427 Cobra.

I do not have the race record for CSX 2473 to reference. But here is some info quoted from the RM Auctions sales info from Monterrey in 2006, "The 1964 Shelby Cobra 289 Competition Roadster, chassis CSX 2473, the ‘Winningest Cobra in History". This car was also featured on the cover and in an extensive article within the past couple of years in Vintage Motorsport magazine. Its extensive racing record was described there as being the "Winningest Cobra in History".

Maybe it is best to say that CSX 3035 was the winningest 427 Cobra and CSX 2473 was the winningest 289 Cobra...........

Best regards,
Eric
