BOSS 351 with Webers
I swapped the BOSS 351 engine out of the 1971 BOSS 351 Mustang that my Dad bought new nto the Pantera. I ran an experimental Ford 3-deuce setup for a while, but eventually swapped over to Webers.

Space-Saver spare on Campagnolo rim
Weldcraft Wheels in Livonia, MI narrowed a 7" wide Pantera rim down to 5.5" so that I could mount a collapsible Space-Saver spare tire on it.

1965 K code Mustang convertible
My Mustang was featured on "My Classic Car" with Dennis Gage in 1972. Dennis attended the Woodward Ave. Dream Cruise that year, an on the next day, we spent about six hours filming the 8 minute clip that appeared on the show (his crew said it was common to shoot an hour of video for every minute that appears "on air"). We shot every scene about three times.

RMC Series 3
Here is another view of the SAAS racing seats which were modified at great expense by previous matured aged Cobra owner and bought cheaply by myself.
These seats were legal at the time of the build according to the previous owner which I do not doubt.
To those that Modify Mazda MX5 seats here is another option if you operate on a budget.
I tried to fit MX5 seats into the RMC and they do not fit unless you modify the floor or tracks which defeats the whole purpose when you can pay upto $600 a pair.

FIA_Suitcase_Study1
It’s documented that (2) AC factory cars were prepared with FIA suitcase "dimples" (See Photos). The second modification was to enlarge the trunk base to allow the suitcase to fit upright (vertical) and further down into the trunk as shown. If you look closely at the photo you can see the suitcase also fit horizontal and was held in place with a “bungee cord”. You can also see the bolts protruding out the bottom of the suitcase which originally held the suitcase upright. I think this also explains why some of the FIA cars had dimples while others didn’t.
As for the actual size of the suitcase – FIA Historic Racing Championships - Appendix J. Both 1964 and 1965.
State:
“270 - Luggage trunk
A covered space being an integral part of the coachwork but outside of the space occupied by the front seats, large enough to receive a trunk of
65 cm X 40 cm X 20 cm. minimum, besides the spare wheel, tools or the folded hood, shall be provided, excluding the spare wheel, tools or removed canopy.”

TDC fixture used to support dial indicator
found this worked better than the magnetic base which always seemed to creep...this is quite solid.

Hemmings Motor News, January 1980
This is 2286 again. Mr. Soprano, owner of Motor Classics, acquired the car around Aug/Sep/Oct 1979 for a then bargain (though certainly an outrageous sum of money for the time) price, which was somewhere around $80k to $90k. Was probably already a 6-figure car by late 1978.
Sources indicate that he had the car up for sale for awhile. He never disclosed his price in print, but revealed it to serious inquirers. From Nov 79 thru Mid 80 the price was $150k.
The car wasn't sold until 1982, and it is likely that the price paid was a good deal more than what he had been asking 2 years prior.

Hemmings Motor News, June 1981
Car was being offered for $165k at some point in 1979, more than what a Daytona would go for then. Probably the weirdest cobra ever made.
