[66AC]

Back in the mid to early late 1980's / 1990's as I recall, I visited the garage of Geoff Howard up in Danbury, CT to look at a used Cobra he was working on and was selling for the owner. While there, I noticed, in a pile of parts a turkey pan. When I left it was mine along with two supposedly original 427 door latches and a pair of pent roof chromed valve covers. My turkey pan looks quite a bit like yours. Geoff did not know the provenance of the pan or its originality other than it came from a 427 Cobra he had been working on which he was re-converting to a street car with underside exhaust, no roll bar and no hood scoop. That pan, the latches and the valve covers are now on my ERA #375.

Over the years I have polished it up with Flitz and it shines like a mirror although it is made of what appears to be aluminum. To the best of my recollection, the round holes in the front and rear as well the hand made cut outs for the linkage are essentially the same as those in your photo.

Again, I have no proof of the originality of the turkey pan that I purchased from Geoff. I wonder what happened to Geoff?
