Is the big block a 427 or 428? Never seen that badge on the side of a 289 before. The Rotunda Tach is very cool and it looks like a Galaxie clock. Is the Ace, AC powered or Bristol? While researching the COB and COX AC Cobras, I stumbled back onto the Bristol powered Ace's. I had forgotten how they won SCCA championships, five years in a row, and that was with the SCCA bumping them up several classes, tell they were racing with the big boys, Jags and Maserati's! A couple of the championships were taken by USAF officers, with enlisted crews. The Air Force actually encouraged racing! The most famous team was the Allard, headed by General Curtis (Bombs Away) LeMay. He literally saved the SCCA. Oh and a PS, I am a dark jade green with envy!
