CSX 3112  was delivered to Shelby in gray primer with a black interior on 1/11/66 with work order number 18093. It was finished on 3/4/66 and thought to be painted “Charcoal” at the time. Shelby invoice number A 2656 dated 3/16/66 indicated the car was shipped to Herb Tousley Ford, Inc. (White Lake MN). The first known owner was Harvey Vance (Enic, OK) who acquired it used. He swapped it for a ’65 GT350 and cash to Jay Schaff. In 1968 Shaff traded it for a Corvette and cash in Oklahoma. Vance bought it back from its new owner shortly there after. The next reported owners were John O’Neill (MO) and Frank Bernardino (Richmond VA). In 1974 the car was purchased by Bill Godden (TN) and then sold again in 1974 to Dan Homelier (Urbana, IL). At that time the car was red with a black leather interior. In 1975 the engine was rebuilt and then the car was sold to Dealer Leo Gephardt (OH). Gephardt sold 3112 to well known Cobra enthusiasts Peter McManus (PA).
