427 Cobra raced in Mexico?

I will ask my brother. He seems to know everything on these cars.

I am sorry I wrote the info on a cocktail napkin and only a tatter
was left when I found it, two months and 10,000 miles later. the word Tavaso.
And another word IUSA.
I seem to remember it was two brothers, like the Rodriguez brothers but of course from the Sixties world of racing, not the Fifties. I think they later had a NASCAR type car and a Trans Am Mustang. Now I will have to go back to the historical group and find the guitarist to ask for their name again. This was one of those things that seemed of little interest at the time but now that I realize someone may have heard of the car, I am trying to track it down (by the way this was before there was replica Cobras so I am thinking it's real)

I actually have some old B&W photos of the car. I'll copy and post the pics later.

Sounds like 3011. The big question mark is what did he have under that hood to require that huge scoop?

Thanks for the pictures!

Guessing by the holes cut throughout the front of the car the scoop was probably part intake and part engine ventillation.

Great vintage pics.......
