427 Cobra Trunk Kit

[Cobra #3170]

That looks very much like what I remember including the pliers and screw driver.
My grease gun was mounted on clips in the trunk. I remember thinking what a crappy tool kit at the time, if only I had known. I still have the jack handle retainer and grease gun clips but no jack, handle or tire strap. It would be great if someone would offer a complete reproduction of all the original equipment including jack and handle. I would bet quite a few people would be interested.

I agree. I'm hoping to convince Nick Acton to produce these. I think he's interested but we need to help him locate a jack.

Would you mind posting a picture of your trunk so I could see the exact location of where your equipment was installed? Thanks!

I just took a picture of the grease gun mount on the RH trunk inner panel and will post in my gallery this afternoon. I can hardly remember the jack handle (old age) but here goes, I think it was on the right side of the trunk and was two piece, it was retained by a shallow C shaped piece of steel about 2"x2" to the trunk side panel and used a wing nut or wing screw to hold the c shaped piece and handle against the panel. I remember that the clamp was slightly loose on my car when it was new and the jack handle slipped back and made a star on the exterior of the paint out board of the trunk opening which really ticked me off at the time. This is just what I remember and may be all wrong because we are dealing with old man memory. I am sure about the paint damage though, maybe some else can chime in and tell us how the handle was actually mounted. I think the jack had a square female opening on the input and the handle had a sort of rounded square that would allow angular changes of the jack handle. I was amazed at how crappy these tools were when you consider that the base price of the car was $7495 which was a lot in 1965. I always carried a bunch of tools where ever I went in the early months of owning the car because all kinds of stuff needed attention on road trips.
