[QUOTE="CobraR77, post: 12469739, member: 3006"] Snipes Motorsports had four chassis they campaigned as Cobra R's. Snipes Chassis #1 is a real Cobra R #24/250. This chassis was prepped by Hacker Bros and debuted at the 1995 Road Atlanta event where it raced in white livery as with the 09 number. This chassis was later changed to the famous stars and stripes scheme (blue front) raced with the 25/26 numbers. This chassis’ final pro race was at Road Atlanta in 1996 where it was involved in a heavy crash during torrential down pour that involved several cars. Owned by Tom in TX. Awaiting restoration. [ATTACH=full]399498[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]399499[/ATTACH] Snipes Chassis #2 is a former “mule” converted to Cobra R specs using salvaged parts from Chassis #1. This chassis does not have a VIN. This car debuted at the 1996 Watkins Glen event in the stars and stripes scheme (blue front). Its paint scheme changed to the blue/orange Budget Rent a Car scheme in 1998. It was sold to JBS racing who raced it until it was replaced by a 2003 Cobra. This chassis is currently in MD and participates in SCCA solo events and open tracking. This car was featured on the Steeda Posse poster. Owned by Vern in MD. [ATTACH=full]399500[/ATTACH] Snipes Chassis #3 was built from a Hurricane V6 car. This chassis has a VIN and a CARFAX report backs this history. Debuted at Daytona 1997 with the Stars and Stripes scheme (red front) running the number 21. Its paint scheme changed to the blue/orange Budget Rent a Car scheme in 1998 and later it changed to white. This car was featured on the Steeda Posse poster.
