Tonight on Chasing Classic Cars - Cobras

[ZOERA-SC7XX]

Many of the cars sold through F40 Motorsports are on consignment. Carini does just what he says...buys and sell collectable cars. Who of us wouldn't give his left nut to do what he does for a living?

It looked like 3034 had dual pusher fans. When did they get put on?

I just posted my left nut on eBay for auction.

Missed the gauges, what did they do?

The middle gauge, which is FP, was bouncing all over the place, and the far left gauge, which is the ammeter, was in a hefty discharge even when revving. That was right before Wayne says "the Cobra's running great."

The way I understand the story on the S/C cars is toward the end of Shelby's run at the airport in LA there were thirty 427 comp cars outside the shop. These were the 30cars built in a rush attempt to homologate the cars for the FIA visit. That is a another story. Ford sent some corporate goons to inspect Shelby and they looked outside at all the 427 comp cars sitting around and figured out a way to throw on a windshield and make them streetable. One of those Ford goons made the S/C designation and off they went as fast as possible. As I understand from the show, this was one of those Cobras.

It was actually a Shelby salesman that came up the the SC idea. Not Ford reps.
