"The other being CSX 3303 built for Bill Cosby. Sadly, it's next owner destroyed himself and CSX 3303 by driving off of a cliff and into the Pacific Ocean."
How many other cobras do you think can fly?

Yes. He does seem like a tight ass.

As far as Cosby being a tight wad, well, I'm not so sure. He's talked at length about driving both his Rolls-Royce (a Silver Spirit I believe) and his Ferrari (a 308 GTB) in several of his books. I guess the Cobra was just too far out.
The Barrett-Jackson website for the auction is HERE:

Enjoy.

Heard the actual car that flew into the ocean was eventually salvaged and is in private hands. Is this true?

from wikipedia
Another non-competition 427 roadster, CSX 3303, was converted and given to Shelby's close friend, Bill Cosby. Cosby attempted to drive the super-fast Cobra, but had issues with keeping it under control. This was humorously documented in Cosby's album titled "Bill Cosby, 200 M.P.H." Cosby then gave the car back to Shelby, who then shipped it out to one of their dealers in San Francisco, S&C Ford on Van Ness Avenue. S&C Ford then sold it to customer Tony Maxey. Maxey, suffering the same issues as Cosby did with the car, lost control and drove it off of a cliff, landing in the Pacific Ocean waters. It is to be noted that Maxey's accident was largely speculated as suicide. It was eventually recovered and the wreckage was bought by Brian Angliss of CP Autokraft. He is expected to auction his restored version in the future.
