Rare Opportunity to Acquire without Auction and
Dealer Fees The following is a
quote from the Shelby American World Registry regarding CSX
3016, page 195:
“3016 Unpainted/Black Interior.
Invoiced to Shelby American on 1/20/65. 3016 was completed at
Shelby American under work order #15071, opened on 3/1/65.
Although the car was essentially finished in April, it
remained unsold until the following spring. During that time
it was used as a show car at least once, as indicated on a
note to Porter and Hooper, the insurance carrier for Shelby
American, who were notified on 11/25/65 that CSX3016, 3152,
and 2431 were being trucked to the San Francisco Auto Show,
held between 11/18 – 11/30/65. CSX3016 was then prepped as a
race car to fill an order placed in 1/66 by Bob Grossman,
owner of Foreign Car City, Inc. (West Nyack, N/.Y.). Grossman
has previously driven Ferraris, but noticed that he was having
and increasingly difficult time keeping up with the Cobras.
After Tom Payne injured himself by falling into a repair pit,
Grossman offered to dirve his Cobra at Nassau and ended up
winning the race. He said at that time that he would buy a
cobra. Thereafter, Grossman and his partner sold their
Ferrrari 250LM for $12,000 in order to purchase a 427 Cobra
Competition model. CSX3016 was completed on 2/25/66 and
shipped to Nyack three days later. In 3/66, a soft top, side
curtains, and mounting hardware were shipped to Grossman at no
charge, c/o the Shelby American Race Team, attn: Tom Hunter,
Orlando, FL. It is thought that Grossman requested the top and
side curtains be delivered to Florida so that they could be
used, if necessary, at Sebring, where 3016 was entered by
Grossman at #6.”
The Shelby American World Registry Article about CSX 3016
continues for some time. The car is owned by David and Jim
Bouzaglou, in California, who are offering it for sale.
