Lynn Park owns or has owned something like 20 originals. Luckily, I live only a few miles from him, so I've been lucky enough to see quite a few of his cars.
My favorite, hand downs, is "Dirtbag". CSX2307 looks like it got drunk, and slept the night under a tree, while it was hailing. It has an ugliness that only a mother could love. But goshdarnit, I can never stop staring at it when I see it. There's just something incredible about it.........
One of two original Factory Dragonsnakes, "El Cid" CSX2248
I wish I could remember the CSX # of this one. One of the only I haven't taken a pic of the plate. But a beauty with lots of racing history.
I too have seen the "Dirtbag" a few times, It's always fun to see it. Love his stack of registration stickers on the license plate

A local guy owns this one and drives it regularly. He also has a 289 car that his girlfriend drives. I'll try to get some pic's of that too.

I'm probably in the vast, vast, vast minority here, but is anybody else unimpressed with original cobras? They're bland and slow. Yes, they have heritage, but if I had a "real" one I'd happily sell it to somebody who would pay top dollar for the heritage and happily drive a replica that pops out more, makes more power, and I don't care if it gets dinged up or breaks because it's easy to fix.

Dan, I believe you and I are disqualified from this thread, otherwise we might have to rename it "how many original cobras have you not seen" .
