Spotters: Any idea which Cobra maker this is?

It's clearly not an Aurora. The side louver is correct for cobra but not for Aurora. Aurora used a 260 cobra for there molds #(2013) which did not have side louvers, they cut there own and made the corners to square..

As I don't believe that "Andy" ever stated that this car was an original Aurora Car.

Not really all too 100% for sure either myself on exactly what the story on that car is.

And as far as the louver cutout goes.
ALL of the Aurora Cars had the louvre cutout that was incorporated into the fiberglass mold with at leat a half inch recess that could be cut and trimmed.
ALL of the body parts came out of the mold like that.

The louvre holes were not cut out after the fact.
Only the actual louvers were cut and trimmed to size to fit into the hole.

So few of these cars were built and yet there are more misconceptions of this car than there are actual facts.

For example I had a great chuckle reading about an Aurora Car listed for sale in California on Hemmings.
As the title for the car is for a 1970 Ford F150 pickup truck.
It's silly at best.
Hey look it up and have a good chuckle for yourself.

Well, I'm pleased to report that Andy's 289 Cobra replica has just found a new home with a fellow Ontarian.

The new owner is a nice guy who -- like most of us -- has dreamt all his life about owning a Cobra. And today, his dream came true. Maybe he'll post some introductory words and pics on the forum and get to know you guys.

Meanwhile, I just want to offer him a hearty congratulations and let everyone know that this interesting car has gone to a good home and a good owner.
