Bill Cosby 200 MPH full

200 MPH (1968) is the eighth album by Bill Cosby. It was recorded live at Harrah’s, Lake Tahoe, Nevada by Warner Bros. Records. In 1967, Bill Cosby bought a Shelby Cobra Super Snake CSX 3303 from his friend, company founder Carroll Shelby. The CSX 3303 was one of two Super Snakes built, which is a modified 1965 Cobra Competition roadster retained by Shelby American as a PR car and then modified with the addition of two superchargers and a Ford C-6 automatic gearbox.[1] Of the two cars built, one was retained by Shelby and the other was sold to Cosby. The album title, 200 MPH, refers to the car’s top speed, which unnerved Cosby so much that he only drove it once before returning it. Shelby American sold it to S and C Motors in San Francisco, who then sold it to their customer, Tony Maxey. Maxey destroyed the CSX 3303 by driving over a cliff and into the Pacific Ocean. Maxey himself died a few days later. Brian Angliss purchased the vehicle and subsequently restored it. He plans to auction the car off.[1] While the majority of Cosby’s Warner Bros. standup albums were regularly re-released on LP, and eventually issued on CD in April 1998, 200 MPH was not reissued on vinyl (although it was available on cassette in the ’80s), and did not see a CD release until 2005, mainly due to controversy over the main sketch’s punchline, where Cosby returns the car and suggests that it be given to former Alabama governor and pro-segregationist George Wallace, who was running for President
