One other possibility-Indy 500 emblem
It could be an Indy decal. As I recall the 1978 Indy Pace Car Replica by Chevrolet, it had a winged decal on the rear fender, each wing about 4 inches long and something vertical in the center, maybe a tire front 3/4 view.
You can see it on this website http://www.indypacecars.com/1978.htm I think that logo has been used on Indy cars for generations. Now what it would be doing on a Cobra big block prototype is anybody's guess except that it is well known some Shelby shop employees were ex-USACers and thought any car that wasn't a full-on race car wasn't worth much, so maybe they stuck it on to say "At last we got a car that's worthy of being a race car." I could print it out and send it to Phil Remington at AAR and see if he remembers since he's in some of the pictures and was there when it was tested or is there someone else who remembers the car when it was in prototype form? |
Now I found the Indy emblem pictured better

but it's a no-go as the tire looks too tall to be that emblem. Has wings,though |
Koni shock absorber decal on Ebay-but center is too big
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/KONI-...spagenameZWD1V
It has wings but the center seems too big. Still Koni was a supplier and might have burned the midnight oil to develop the shocks for the 427 so been proud to put their badge on it if only momentarily. |
I believe that is the logo from the Hurlock's (AC Cars' owners) other business enterprise. They were beekeepers, and ran a highly-regarded apiary. Their motto was, "Bee Healthy: Eat Your Honey."
