Notwithstanding, as long as that non-COB Cobra retains the riveted AC ID plate with a COB number and all other markings, if there were any to begin with, have been removed, mischievously or not, then a fraud may have or could be committed, past, present or future.

Hopefully, the OP will follow through and remove the AC ID plate and figure out a way to get rid of the other COB markings.

Well glad we got that cleared up,

As for your opinion, sorry I don't agree with you, I hope the op does not remove anything until he has exhausted all avenues in finding out more regarding his car.

Cleared up? We've established it's NOT an AC, so why keep the AC ID plate riveted on it?

I've seen you build some very nice Cobras over the years, would you ever rivet an AC (or whatever marque) ID plate or stamped non-existent VIN's on one of your builds?

I know the folks over on the SAAC Forum would not be too happy about fake Shelby Mustangs and Cobras with fake ID plates running around the globe.

Personally, I actually object to putting any Shelby wheel caps, steering wheel center cap, exterior emblems, gas pedals, or any Shelby paraphernalia on my Kirkham, let alone a Shelby/AC ID plate. And if I weren't such a lazy butt, I'd change the valve covers from "Cobra LeMans" to plain jane Blue Thunder FE valve covers.

Cleared up? The fact I'm not accusing anybody of fraud.

Thank you
No Sir, (to be honest, I can't remember if I added one of those cheap id tags on the foot box of my first replica or not, definitely would not stamp a fake csx#)

I think they will survive

Once again your opinion, I have no problem with that.

Let's take this to pm, as I am getting the feeling you want to make it personal?
As I am afraid this is getting off topic and adding no real value to the op!
Your call.

Oy vey. No opinions, nothing personal.

Fact 1, the OP's Cobra isn't an AC COB (or COX for that matter).

Fact 2, the OP's Cobra has COB markings and an AC ID plate.

Do you agree with those two facts?

No, you can actually stop PM'ing me.

IMO, the OP should do two things.

1. Send the pics to Kirkham and let them tell the OP if it's a Kirkham. The mouth makes it obvious to me.

2. Remove the AC ID plate. It's not an AC. And I'd remove the "666" too, but maybe the OP likes the mystery story. I wouldn't, if it were my Cobra.

Right will do, you could have mentioned it in any one of your return pm's
