I wonder if those are mag wheels on 3127 and if the seller would be willing to sell them separately. :LOL: :D :p

Down boy,
Enlarging the photo it appears as though the stem is in the web at the 5 o'clock position of the front wheel...%/

I get a little sad when I see street changed to S/C...it's amazing how many had that conversion done over the years.

When you say changed, does that mean they installed a whole new rear clip or did they modify the existing body to make it wider?

I think you'll have to ask Mike McCluskey that one.

Who did the S/C Kustomizing? Was it Comer?

I remember seeing what was represented to me to be first street car (smooth hood, no side pipes) at Shelby American's factory in '65. That car was red. Later in Detroit, I was given a ride by a lady driver accompanying the Cobra Caravan, that car was red with white side pipes, but I don't remember if it had a hood scoop (I was too busy trying to fasten the seat belt at 140 mph!).

I can see how a used car dealer would be tempted to pump up the Cobra image with a hood scoop and side pipes but I predict eventually most real CSX2000 and CSX3000 Cobras will be retrofitted color and trim-wise as to how they came out of the factory originally (that means a lot of side pipes and or hood scoops will be tossed out!) or maybe how they were raced in a particular race. Anyway, I wonder how many of the S/C mechanical changes were made on the car in question that you can't see in the pictures or was it just scoop and side pipes?

Also I saw the movie COBRA and try as I might I didn't see a single Cobra in it (I think Stallone was driving some chopped top Merc with a supercharger and maybe nitrous). But I did see a similar black big block Cobra parked in front of a beach house in Malibu so maybe that was Sly's. What a dummy he was for selling it when he didn't need the money...(well, maybe that divorce from Brigette Nielson--who was in the movie COBRA with him-- cost him heavy bread and it had to go...)

Solid black is my favorite cobra.
