Quote from: 65GT350dragster on May 20, 2024, 08:34:22 AMGood call. I believe the 289 Cobra I reference was upgrade to "Stage III", not Cobra III.Guess, that was an advertisement for the sales of new Cobras, 427 Cobras, and GT350s (second line).
I'm mainly trying to identify the "Cobra I & II" graphics on my Dad's GT350.

I know they were not exactly assembled according to SFM number but what's the best guess as to around what serial number the S2MS numbers began appearing? Did carryover cars have no markings or were they using S1MS numbers?All 65 and some early 66 GT350's had the 3259 list number only. After the 581 date code batch was done I believe was when the S2MS number was added besides the 3259 list number.
Thanks

Quote from: alex74pd184 on April 10, 2024, 06:37:48 PMYes, thanks for the response. I sold a pair of mint "C3RA" emblems in Ebay a while ago to Legendary Motors in Canada. I think those emblems were purchased for a 427 car?
The larger Cobra medallion, is the one I wasn't sure of its application? I was under the impression, 1963 maybe?
Quote from: wcampbell on April 10, 2024, 06:11:31 PMIf you happen to have an engine in your possession - would you be willing to share the casting date on the block? This might help further determine a car missing an engine near that time window to help narrow down a bit. For example if your block is say 3C15 (March 15th 1963) it might help to understand it's from an '63 car within X build window vs. 3K15 (October 15th 1963) which is considered a '64 engine installed in a car perhaps 75 cars later. I only suggest this because not all COBRA records clearly identify an engine. As well, knowing the model year it was intended for may help understand its market accuracy and value.

Dan, I'm sure you know this. I read years ago that all the blocks back in the 60's (specifically, and maybe earlier and/or later), were in fact seasoned blocks. Left out in a field and "seasoned" with the cold and hot of the seasons. I never heard much more about blocks being seasoned as we moved closer to the 5.0 era and beyond. That may have been why the small blocks specifically was so strong and bulletproof!!
Any elaboration is welcomed!

Thank you, Dan, for these closeup pictures of the choke cable bracket differences. You enabled me to identify the "lazy Z" bracket which I have had for years. Your knowledge is amazing.
