CSX 3015 is the real deal.
Powered by a 427ci V8 engine with two Paxton superchargers and an automatic transmission, it is one of 23 427 competition roadsters built.
On September 7, 1965, CSX 3015 was shipped and invoiced to Ford Advanced Vehicles, England, as a 427 Cobra Competition roadster, together with CSX 3014 (another 427 Cobra Competition) and two R-model Shelbys (5R107 and 5R209) for a European promotional tour.
It returned from Europe in late 1966 still as a 427 Cobra Competition.
Sometime early to mid-1967, CSX 3015 was transformed into the Super Snake and reclassified as 427 Cobra Semi-Competition (SC).
The reason was quite simple: a 427 Cobra Competition didn't have mufflers, windshield, bumpers, etc.
It was a race car only and not street legal.
Although many SCs were raced and never saw a public road, all 427 Cobra SCs had titles and were legal to drive on public roads.
427 competition and SC Cobras have different hips and noses.
