Is he sure it's the real. CSX3198, and not just the ID plate. I bought CSX3198 from Les Newell in 1978. Gave it to Eric Ball in 1980, with a Pantera and a reproduction 427 Cobra, done by Jim Kelsey, co owner of Connecticut Coach, Wallingford CT, as a partial down payment for his resort, Faro Blanco Marine Resort, Marathon Fl. Keys. He sold it the next day to Ray Brown, a very wealthy man from TX. Ray had it DRIVEN to TX from the Keys. The driver put it in a pine tree. Twisted like a pretzel. I knew Kelsey, Ball and Brown years after the Cobra crash. Kelsey never owned the real one. What brings this up is a email I received from someone who knew the history of the car asking me if this was mine http://www.shelbyford.com/reg3198.html Other then a few dates and the spelling of my name, it's correct until I sold it, then it's all bogus. Can anyone help solve this? Thanks...john
