You mentioned you were using the car painted in Gulf livery as a reference. You realize it's not an original Cobra, right? |

Yeah! it fooled me for sure.
It even has a nice "wear", patina; and it looks like it is raced.

Don,
How did you get your shorts caught in the air scoop?

You must be talking about the pic of the replica "GULF" race car with the black cloth in the scoop.
This is a pic that I found on the web.
Your comment was funny, though!

There are so many clues to it not being original, but the first one that jumps out at me is the returned edge on the side vents. This is a common feature on many GRP replicas, even though it is easy to fix.
The RAM uses a backbone space-frame chassis and as such has a huge transmission tunnel, which gives the game away straightaway. However, RAM were authorized by Shelby and many of them carry CSX####R chassis numbers, in spite of the fact that AC allocated the original chassis numbers not Shelby.
