identify soft top origin
I have a soft top that I bought for my Kirkham many years ago . It didn't fit my car so I put it away, and forgot about it.
More recently I decided to try it again, as I needed protection from the Florida sun, which made driving the car miserably hot. I modified the main bow to fit the mounting ferrules, and got the top to fit resonably well, but the main bow
has the rear rediculosly high, but the front attachment channels fit perfectly.
While fitting the channels, I noticed that they had been marked on the inside
"COB 130" . Not a cobra #, but still an "AC" number. Maybe for an ACE ?
Anyone here have any knowledge of this number ??
I,ll post pics as soon as I find them.

I'm sorry but turning a convertible Cobra into an oven makes little sense to me unless you have A/C.
Rain protection, maybe. Sun protection,,,,nah.

well the idea was to have the rear window zip out, never got that far.

COB is a Cobra! It stands for Cobra, Other, (meaning other the New York or LA) B loosely means Britain, but more precisely, right hand AC cars! Shelby and Ford did a deal with AC, that once the Cobra was homologated for racing, AC could market complete Cobras for the rest of the world. The first cars, in keeping with ACs previous codes was simply CS, then COB and COX, X as always, for export! They had serial numbers from 6101 - 6127, pretty rare. So the 140 doesn't make much sense. To make maters worse, the first cars were leaf spring MKIIs, and the later cars were coil spring bigblock bodies with 289 engines, called AC289 Sport! Sounds like it could be for a MKII where you had to modify it, so maybe 140, stands for something else? Cheers, Dennis
