Good question about "where did it come from". I have a buddy who has an original 427 Shelby Cobra - with a replacement motor he bought from Ford - a 427 sideoiler. He found the car sitting up to the windscreen in a pond behind a farmers house - in the late 70's. Bought it "as is where is" for $5000.00 w/o motor or trans. Had the car totally restored for a total investment of around $22K, and has it in storage along side of his original Mustang 350. Been driving mustangs all his life. Don't know what his serial # is, but the car is now "blue with white stipes".

Nope, you forgot the white stripes.

I think pictures will be needed too. I'm sure castings numbers and dates will not be enough.

BMWMOD,

If you're still out there, be forwarned:
This group of "unofficial experts" will break their backs to help you figure out what you have, but you should respond with some info in the near future. It's kindof like teasing a pack of dogs with some food...better feed them something soon or they'll get mean and noisy!!!

Ok, Ok, Ok....some of you guys may be "official experts". And no, you're not dogs!
