LA Exotics #80750

Can anyone help me determine the manufacture date of this car? I'm in the process of rebuilding it and would like to get as much of the history put together as possible.

The last title I have dates back to 2000 but the car is significantly older than that.

Thanks
Don

Bryan would know.

That number seems odd to me. I bought one in 1995 with a serial number under 100. They closed shop soon after that.

Where did you find the number?

someone help me out here, my memory is fading to say the least.....How is LA Exotics retated to the Street Beast bodies, did they buy them out, freshen my memory. I have a friend in so. cal. has a 34 ford 3 window coupe, tells me it was made my LA Exotics, would that be a street beast...Thanks Ted gasserted@yahoo.com

No relation at all as far as I know. LA Exotics shut down. B&B is the new incarnation.

Street Beasts is a re-incarnation of CMC.

OK, Looks like i had some bad information. CMC is Classic Motor Carriage right...Thanks for your help. TED

I contact you in order to ask if you have any history on B&B Manufacturer of AC Cobra in USA. I know that previous name was L.A. EXOTIC COBRA and particularly:

- when LA EXOTIC COBRA was founded?

- who was the owner?

- when did they start to manufacture cobras?

- when did they change name?

- who is the new owner of B&B? Bryan Anderson?

Any details or web link would be of high interest for me.

Feel free to contact me directly +33683024368 or send me a mail.

Regards, Ph

An other question:
- do LA Exotics cobras have specific construction plate with LA Exotic adress on it or is it a standard Carol Shelby manufacturing plate?
- does anybody have a picture for me, please?
thanks,
Ph

I'm curious!
Did Bryan help you find out the information that you needed?

Paul F · #11 (**permalink**) 11-15-2013, 10:19 PM

There is no construction plate on an LA Exotics - at least not mine.

So where is engraved the serial number of your car? Any picture?

Paul F · #13 (**permalink**) 11-17-2013, 06:55 PM

There is no engraved serial number. Well, maybe there is, but I've never seen it. There is a "#85" hand-written on the underside of the nose. It's big. You can't miss it. I'd be curious to know what number is written on yours.

My serial or ID n° is 1L9CT11S5PB155012. I don't know how to insert a picture.
