Trip report: Cobras at the Carmel Concours

[SunDude]

I've been delinquent in posting my photos from this year's Monterey Car Week, so here goes...
   
   My first stop was the Carmel-by-the-Sea Concours on the Avenue, which featured 12 original 289 and 427 Cobras in honour of the car's 50th anniversary.  Here they are in order of appearance.
   
   
   CSX2100
   
   
   CSX2367
   
   
   CSX2393 - The owner drove this car all the way from his home in Minnesota.
   
   
   CSX3142, narrow hip roadster
   
   
   CSX2472, an original Dragon Snake
   
   
   
   CSX2522, equipped with the Slalom Snake package
   
   
   
   CSX3345, a 427 street Cobra modified to "semi-competition" specification
   
   
   
   CSX2253
   
   
   
   CSX2178
   
   
   
   CSX2543
   
   
   CSX2387
   
   
   CSX3232, another 427 street Cobra modified to "semi-competition" specification
   
   
   
   The official Cobra team transporter (which sold at RM Auctions later that week for $900,000).
   
   
   
   I also caught a glimpse of CSX2419 looking for a parking spot in Carmel.  This car was also seen at the McCall Motorworks Revival and the Monterey Historics.
