Gotta love those IDM carburetors. The car looks outstanding.
I am surprised that they did not restore the car with a ford generator vs. the current '65 mustang style alternator. Perhaps they were able to document that they raced the car with an alternator. They have really nice Alternators now that are dead on with the original Generators that enable you to use the original generator brackets and keep the generator look, but get the alternator output. I have one on my car. This is a picky detail. The car is gorgeous. Mike |
Ron,
Thanks a million! What a special car! I love it.:p The footbox, roll bar, rear flare and jack pad pictures are great as they show this cars particular character. BTW: Mike your car is to die for............ Thanks |
Way to get the detail Ron, thanks.
|
Ron, what did you think of LMCs resto accuracy in person?
|
A freshly done Small Block is SHWEEEET!

Interesting, I just noticed that they did the alternator conversion right in the generator cut-out box and left the original Generator voltage regulator on the firewall where they were placed on pre-CSX2200 cars. Maybe it was raced that way in '65. That seems like a conversion a racer might have done quickly in the mid 60's.
I just love this car. Looks like Legendary did a great job keeping the original character of the car. |
thanks Ron...great pics!
|
I've never seen a car with valve covers installed in that orientation??? Cobra OR Mustang. That particular alternator is second generation from Ford or Autolite. The first generation alternators that were on some luxury 1963 Ford products and used a single connector with 3 wires that plugged into the back of the alternator and had a ring terminal on a 10 gauge wire for the power feed that secured the plug.

Just stumbled on this thread after a prompt from another CC member. I have some pics of CSX2162, but these are great! Thanks Ron!
Cheers, Glen |
WOW..it looks great. Dad would have been thrilled to see it. How on earth did you get the White Feather decal?
|
I have been to Legendary Motor Car several times and they always have several original Cobra's in their inventory and I have seen several original Cobra's in various stages of restoration and the attention to detail is simply outstanding!
|
It deffinately turned out great..but the decal..there werent a ton of those made and Im surprised to see it on there.would they have made one?
|
All you need is a picture today and anything can be remade.
