I appreciate that - I'm not attempting to 'shoot the messenger'.

There's a great deal of lore, myth and misconception surrounding Shelby and his cars over the years, and even well-respected authors haven't always gotten the details correct. Regardless, apparently the SAAC registry (p. 1598) indicates MkI Cobras are the worm-and-sector cars and MkIIs are the rack-and-pinion cars.

1965 289 Shelby Cobra - Mark II or Mark III?
