Default Ac Cobra Classic Roadster

I'm very interested to learn more about how best I can source classic roadster parts including a full soft top solution including the steel frame, the fabric etc.

My car has on it 351w, my vin starts with 66 and my engine casting number is referring to a 1972 Ford Galaxy.

For quite some time, I was under the impression my car was an Excalibur but contacted with the cuurent factory and found out my vin doesn't match any Excalibur they produced. My car has on it few Ford logos and a "manufactured by ford" type of engraved text under the bonnet.

Have read some about classic roadsters but still hungry for lots of info and tips.

Appreciate your feedback.

Regards,
Artur

If you are trying to confirm the manufacturer of your car - you should take detail pictures of the underhood, trunk, front and rear suspension, frame, cockpit and trunk. That's what it usually takes to get a firm lock on the original manufacturer.

If it turns out it's a Classic Roadsters or Classic Roadsters II car, then perhaps the best place for you queries would be the CR Forum on this site: Classic Roadsters II - Club Cobra
