"YOU CAN'T EXPLAIN A COBRA TO A BUREAUCRAT OR A CONSUMER ADVOCATE"
Now there's a politically correct headline!!

I'm just now getting around to scanning a new-to-me magazine/article/photo that I found at MCACN in November 2021.
It's the October 1974 issue of SPORTS CAR magazine and it had a great article on Carroll Shelby's Cobras.
It consists of five pages, with 3 photos from the 1963 Bridgehampton FIA Double 500, plus a whole page on author Wade Hoyt's CSX2288.

The photo below is exceptional to me because it's a large 8 3/4" x 12" in size. Better resolution would be nice, but hey, I'll take it!
It nicely shows a photo that I had never seen before, Gurney smoking out of the pits in LeMans Replica CSX2137 on his way to Shelby American's first FIA victory on that September day in New York:
