Gentlemen, I have an even a better mystery. Back in the 60's, Pete Lovely (F-1 and famous Sports Car racer) needed a V-8 to put in his car he was building (The Lovely) he contacted long time friend & Racer Shelby and asked if he had a hopped-up Cobra engine he could put in his Lovely, Shelby sent an XHP-260, which is still in that car. Drew @ "The Cobra Experience" owns the Lovely. I tried to buy the car a couple years ago, to bring it back to Pacific Northwest where it belongs, Pete lived in Tacoma most of his life. We were off a by a few thousand, we both agreed the motor should be left in the Lovely (For now) The only reason the Lovely is in Drews collection is because of the motor. I reached out to a friend that was in charge of Petes estate, the Lovely and as he said "A ton of Org. Cobra parts" were sold to a collector ??, the collector did not want the Lovely so Drew bought it, Does anyone know what motor is in the Lovely?? Thank you for any info. Cheers Tom.
