Riverside, CA - September 1962
Terry Bagley, a student at Carroll Shelby's driving school.










































Some info from CarrollShelby.com

April 1962 - CSX 2000, the first Cobra, is painted a pearlescent yellow by Dean Jeffries and shipped to the New York Auto Show where it appears in the Ford display.

May 1962 - Shelby offers test drives to the automotive press. CSX 2001 (the 2nd Cobra) is shipped from England (minus drivetrain) to New York and prepared by Ed Hugus in Pittsburgh. CSX 2002 is air freighted to Los Angeles and built into the first competition Cobra.

June 1962 - Production is slow as Shelby-American wrestles with start-up problems due to the AC chassis requires extensive engineering. CSX 2000 is repainted a different color each time a different magazine test drives it, giving the appearance of many cars in production.
