"200 M.P.H." (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 addition of two superchargers and a Ford C-6 automatic gearbox.http://www.barrett-jackson.com/carlist/cardetails.asp?In_AuctionID=221&In_LotNumber=1301] Of the two cars built, one was retained by Shelby and the other was sold to Cosby. The album title, '200 MPH', attests to the fact of why he only drove it once before returning it to Shelby American. 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.
