and the photo below is of the top of the air filter pie tin.
the word on the Jockey Journal is that the company of Stelling and Hellings went out of business in the 60's, and sold air filter housings, and motorcycle handlebars http://www.jockeyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10084
I learned of this last november: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2012/11/anthony-boosalis-found-65-cobra-427-sc.html

CSX 4205, Hasn't been driven. So it's not a car, it's either a work of art, an investment, or something people have to keep dusting til it re-sells

So here you have a car with only 6 miles on it, test miles, as it came from the Shelby company with those miles, and left the 1st owner without any more, so that is how much it has been driven since made. It hasn't. Probably hasn't had fluids in it since being pushed into storage.
I think that this is another error in the writing on the Martin call sheets (they don't spell Brembo brakes correctly for example) where the above says this was built in 1965. It was built as the new run of cars, not in 1965, but closer to the date on the lower sheet of 2002. They cost 140 thou new, and probably aren't going for a lot more now that Carroll has passed on. He didn't build them, he promoted and signed them... for anyone this annoys, tell me how many 80 year old heart transplant mulitmillionaires are wrenching on cars when they employ people to do that.

Anthony Boosalis found a 65 Cobra, 427 SC chassis CSX 3047, unrestored
0 comments Posted by Unknown at 11:32 AMthanks to http://www.historicvehicle.org/This-Car-Matters/TCM/Feature and Galpin Ford http://www.galpin.com/galpin-events for having a car show that got Anthony to bring in his awesome Shelby 427 SC Cobra, one of approximately 30 SCs built in 1965 and one of only 2 that was painted Hertz gold by the factory.
The car is original with exception of the paint job. This car has never been restored. This car has spent the last 25 years in Pennsylvania parked in a garage. It is rare to find a Cobra this original. It is considered by many in the Cobra world to be the most original 427 SC left in existence.
this car show was August 26 2012, a Shelby memorial event http://www.galpin.com/Media/Default/Galpin%20Events/Galpin_Shelby_Event-1.jpg

Max's Ring of Fire (MROF), a 501(c)3 tax-exempt public charity, is a pediatric cancer fundraising and advocacy organization that supports innovative pediatric cancer research and clinical trials. We are dedicated to funding practical, relevant Phase I and II clinical trials which are based on research from the University of Vermont, University of Texas/M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, University of Hawaii, UCSD, the Van Andel Institute, among others.
We also focus on speed, by helping to bring new therapies to the bedside now for the patients that need them most - those with advanced relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma. These are the hard cases that most oncology research frequently overlooks - yet it is these difficult cases that likely hold the key to finding the answer to cancer.
100% of every donated dollar is guaranteed to fund meaningful neuroblastoma research and clinical trials.
