CSX 2093 was the 93rd Cobra built and is one of eight cars modified with the Shelby-developed DragonSnake package.
Raced by Bruce Larson of USA-1 Funny car fame, the DragonSnake dominated NHRA's classes in 1964. It set records in the 1965 season and won the NHRA Springnationals, Winternationals, and Nationals that year. Throughout its racing career this car continued to win races and set records. All told, CSX 2093 held National titles in four separate classes.
The car has gone through an extensive and compete restoration. It is completely accurate and is presented here with its Webber carbureted 289 Ford engine with Ballanger side mount headers and 4 speed transmission. This is one of the most historically significant Cobras with a proven race history.
