Blitz insists the race is real, and I will confirm he purchased my car and owns such 65 Kirk cobra. If he drives the car without a mental let down, engine trans or rear end failure he has an excellent chance of winning one race...However, there are wagers the bet will not happen, so let this post help make it happen. As soon as The Bet **** receives pre pay deposit of film cost offset, confirm of exact date I will post such...

Out of courtesy to tommygold I will post...
Yes Dan purchased car without full knowledge - and he is some what a no fear guy, when he left my house I led him on the freeway - he passed me about 120mph on non warmed up Goodyear Billboards with one hand on the wheel and one hand thumbs up. All I can say is the engine is a Shelby 427 Side Oiler with dual carbs. I never raced the car in any way, it was essentially just broken in with 1,500 easy miles. Like this year's Super Bowl or most high level competitive sports, he who fumbles will lose. A great high stakes Bet......tommygold has less to worry about, however must win 3 times..

Ahhhh... Me thinks this just loaded the odds in favor of Tommy.
No Fear = No Respect = Cobra WILL kill you!
There is every chance that with this cavalier attitude races 2 and 3 will be had in a canter by the prancing horse, after Blitz puts his snake into the wall.
I hope it isn't so!!!

He should switch to a single carb for the race. I'm sure I'll get flamed by all the dual quad guys and gals now.
What's the big secret? Are we keeping the specs from a) Tommy, b) Dan, c) the audience or d) all of the above?
I assume if KC built it, it's probably a 482 or maybe a 496 with a roller cam.

I know the previous owner and we drove our kirkhams to an event. It is a 482 unless there was a engine swap in the last 2 years. Darren

The engine and all components have not been changed / are the same as when Dan purchased the car. The engine is designated a Ford 427 authentic FE Alloy Shelby 510, with TKO 6000 Trans. The good luck for Dan, (as he had no idea of the build sheet) is he does not have an typical 427 or 482. Fun fact, the car 0 - 60 time was 3sec - and clocked 160+mph once and felt on the edge of air borne- I then sold the car.. KC built the motor and he is has agreed to be silent until after the race (if there is one). I will tell you from my in-depth study - he is the BEST and a first class gentlemen...
Either way, whether 500 - 600 or 700+hp he who fumbles or breaks will lose....
The better driver will prevail..

Moderator may not have understood that Otomyx was referring back to another helpful offer to tape the race, not promoting a service.

Many thanks to Otomyx and N2Venom for the intel, and apologies to the Mods for not understanding the edit to the post. It's truly amazing what a community this is -- so tight nit that you know individual cars!
Ok all, with it disclosed as a 482 s/o (I'm sure there was no engine change), does that change anyone's views?
Also Dan's car will be in tip-top shape. It had a bunch of stuff wrong -- shocking, given the incredible care he has shown it -- and it's all fixed up.
