Harpoon PV2,
Although the “later generation” Cobra badge appeared to be the final version there was actually two versions of it, the earlier had a textured background and the final version had a smooth background. Also the earlier textured background version was void of any part numbers or identifiers where the smooth final version carried a Ford part number. |
Guys,
Again, I'm just looking to tweak the car a bit, as I dislike the billet and chrome under the hood (air cleaner not withstanding). Too flashy, too modern for my tastes. The AC knock offs I saw on another SPF and like the look vs the smooth, stock units. Voltage gauge in a modern interpretation of a 60's car, vs the original AMP gauges. Again, just a different view for my tastes. If I was going to go overboard, I've got a lead on an early CSX2000 series car, just tough to justify that type of money on what is essentially a "toy" when I can play with one like this one for just 10% of the original.

We will have the 289 alternator brackets in the near future. they will NOT be concours correct, and will be aluminum, but will look 95% of the original at a nice price point. |
Hey Bill, the photo below, has sent me down a similar path as you! I was agenizing over which tribute Cobra to do. Ed Hugus double badge car, Herbie Hancock CSX2006 Tasca, or maybe COX6057 The Cobra In The Bedroom! Then I saw on this sight, an argument on which steering wheel was correct, so I posted the photo below. It was from the August 1983 issue of Road & Track, where they compared a Contemporary and ERA big blocks, against a real S/C. I bet you can't guess which car my photo was of? That's a rhetorical question. After that, I was free. Lets' face it, even if, by some miricale I end up with a CSX8000 car, it still will not be an original, Shelby AC Cobra, so lets have some fun! Though, I still wish someone would replicate the two ear, flightless, near side, far side spinners, they are just so English! Cheers, Dennis
