Nope, it's the other twin-Paxton 427 Cobra built, one of Shelby's own personal Cobras (CSX3015) which he kept for nearly 40 years and was recently autioned off for $5m.

The Cosby Cobra (CSX3303) was handed back to Shelby-American and sold on in 1969 being bought by a Tony Maxey of San Francisco, who soon afterwards lost control of the monstrous 427, crashing over a cliff into the Pacific Ocean and being killed.
i knew it crashed but didnt know anyone was killed !
