Funny short on CSX3047....
Carter Getty had the car and it was gold, it also had bumpers and the FIA wheels on it. Upon sale they were thinking the gold was too much for general sale so they painted it blue, in cheap fashion. (fender color above)
Jack bought the car and it was delivered blue with bumpers and FIA's. Jack also noted that it had the sand cast valve covers to which changes were necessary.....
First Paula and Jack taped off the stripes and proceded to use shaker can white to apply stripes... He pulled the sand cast VC off and replaced with chrome pentroof style. The bumpers were sacked for jack pads and the interior carpet pulled up and replaced with black shag! 70's you know!
FIA's were replaced with Halibrand's.
Then Don S bought the car as Jack needed the capital to buy AM#2 GT40. He regretted the sale and chased Don till his passing to buy it back.
The rest is the Steve Sunshine story and now Anthony.
Ah the Cobra life.....
