New Cobra owner seeking lineage of SW58280PA
 
Hi folks,

I just purchased a 1965 Burgundy Everett Morrison Cobra Replica. 351 W with 4 speed manual. It is beautiful and I'm trying to track down the lineage.

- When was it built? Title search turned up one owner in Conn May 2014 with 1800 miles on the build. I bought it May 2016 from Bullet MotorSports Inc. Ft Lauderdale Florida with 2586 miles on it.

- Who built it? I emailed EM and they said it wasn't one of their builds because the VIN did not conform. They recommended I contact this group to see if anyone new the builders that use the format of this VIN: SW58280PA

all help/recommendations appreciated.

Cheers,
Scott

SW58280PA is a Pennsylvania stated issued VIN, you should find a blue and silver embossed plate in the upper left hand corner of the firewall if the owner installed it in the proper location.

My records show the following links:

1965 Shelby Cobra Replica - Bullet Motorsports

Shelby Cobra Video Inside | eBay

1965 SHELBY COBRA ROADSTER RE-CREATION - 170863

1965 SHELBY COBRA ROADSTER RE-CREATION - 192484

1965 Shelby Cobra Replica - Bullet Motorsports

Thank you for the information about the VIN being from Pa. Also will look for the blue and silver embossed plate on the upper left hand corner of the firewall.

The other links I had seen before but still much appreciated.

Is there anyway to find out who registered the VIN in Pa (individual or builder).

With regards to a normal 17 number VIN, each number/letter means something. Is there taxonomy for my 9 character VIN from PA? Last two characters are the state (thanks to MrMustang :) What do the other numbers stand for?

Car gets delivered today!!!

SW58280PA

The last two are clearly for the state, the rest are generic and issued in numerical order at time of issue. A call to the PA Stave Dept of Motor Vehicles in Harrisburg, PA might get you an answer as to whether a private citizen can get information of the previous owner(s)

Thank you. That is worth a shot!
