Hi OP here, I think the censes here is it can not be a COB 0666 and with all your help here I agree totally, so I will be definitely removing the AC tag and cutting it up as soon as I have time and I will post pictures of the destroyed tag. I will replace with a Shelby tag 
As far as the COB chassis number I think it should also be ground out of the chassis. I have checked every location where I have been asked to look for numbers and I will tell you there are none, also there is absolutely no evidence of anybody removing any numbers, all the paint on the chassis is consistent and there are no marks of tampering anywhere.
In the end this car will have no manufacture stamps or numbers anywhere.
Like I have said from the being, I thought it would be nice to know where it came from especially because I still need parts to complete it.
That's all!.
BK

Personally, I wouldn't do any of that. You still do not know who made the car and those items could prove valuable at a later date.
You can work on it without removing those numbers and tag. Thousands of replica Cobra's have that tag. Who cares?

It's not AC COB and the "666" has to be a someone's idea of a joke. What could be valuable? It's not a Kirkham/CSX body since has ZERO markings anywhere that would identify it as such.
If it were me, I'd remove any traces of the nonsense and build it. It's still a very nice alloy body. In fact, I'd strike a deal with Kirkham and buy all the parts from them. They have everything from original-type parts to all the billet aluminum parts. |

Baloney. A lot of hoopla about nothing. Just build the car. Who cares what the numbers are there for and/or what they mean. They can be removed at any time.
Besides, you have no idea if it is "nonsense". Just because you "think" it doesn't make it so. |

We all have our opinions that's what makes this forum great, and this thread so interesting. 
I happen to agree with you, 
We're are we today? 0 for 2? 
We all know a few here are having way to much fun with this  hence the lack of proof to there opinions, and the language they use in there posts.
Good times!  |

Hi joyridin, I agree with you that yes, numbers don't mean anything and there are all kind of tags out there but because they don't mater like you said and with this thread going crazy which gives me an idea what people may think down the road that I may be trying to pass it on as something it is not I would rather it be obvious that the tag I use was because I thought it was cool and obviously not real. Just my feeling because it doesn't really matter who actually made it, I think it will make for a very nice ride in the end.
Thanks again to everybody, I never expected a response like this but to those with all the positive and constructive comments I salute you.
BK

The OP can do whatever he or she wants.
But the fact remains that it retains an AC ID plate stamped with an invalid COB number, in various spots, and it's not an AC product, as Ned Scudder, the SAAC Cobra Registrar stated.
If the OP didn't remove it, then the car could be misrepresented in the future and that's fraud. The OP is on record that he/she will remove it and thus not misrepresent it. Smart decision by the OP. So that's a win! |

FWIW, That foot box tag was not produced by AC Cars Ltd nor was it stamped by AC Cars |

No, he stated it was not one of the 60's versions and beyond that, he did not know.
So every replica at a car show with one of those fake tags you can buy with whatever number on it can now be misrepresented as a real 60's Cobra? What a joke! Heck, for all you know, somebody was attempting to make a very real looking reproduction. Something many on this site try to do all the time. I guess everybody that builds a replica now can be accused of potentially trying to commit fraud by your skewed viewpoint. Especially if they put one of those fake tags on their car!
