Original Cobra body on Pawn Stars
Im sitting here watching Pawn Stars and some guy walks in saying hes got an orignal Cobra body he got for free for hauling it away. No paint on the body. The suspension looks brand new. The car looks to have never been assembled rather than a restoration started but not finished. I would have bet my life the guy had a Factory 5 replica or something but after taking it to an expert, they find the CSX###... chassis number on it. Guy lets it go for $30k. Idiot.

I just watched that episode (and the 3 or 4 before that). Amazing, yeah, the guy must have needed quick cash. I think I'd have started hitting up Shelby/Cobra clubs advertising and original body.

didn't Shelby "create" a number of these about a decade ago. i remember some scandal about frames being left outside to rust and new bodies being put on these new but rusted frames. phantom cars were registered back in the 60's and those were the numbers being used.

Our Son loves that show - we saw the episode, also saw him fire a 1700's musketoon worth thousands. I don't think I would have fired that gun but I know I would fire Chummly!

Shelby is LOCATED IN LV.....the same place Pawn Stars is located?????????
As previously mentioned I know one of the guys who came in and sold a Springfield Trapdoor for 1500 to the Pawn Buddies....which is a RETAIL PRICE. The guys name is Tom Rush and is known NATIONALY as a Trapdoor Guy....Rush has lived in LV for 40 some odd years and HAS TO BE KNOWN by the Pawn Buddies...that segement was a SET UP.

Chumly is the perfect "reality star" because he makes us feel smart. That's a large part of the psychology of reality TV.

I saw the show also and when they first showed the car on the rollback I said it was a fake. It has to be a continuation car not the real thing. I bet the Cobra forums are going crazy over this....

I like the show but it seems like most of the segments are staged....

The chick who was trying to get rid of the Baldwin piano was pretty hot - funny that Chumchum thought he had a play...yup, staged but she was pretty.
