Back to our regular programming

Meanwhile back in Puerto Rico

Where is this Shelby now?  Is it still there?  Washed out to Sea from the Hurricanes?

Have you seen this Photo before?  I'm thinking same chassis as a CSX 2000 but I could be wrong.

Photos of the Cars.

A friend has a Cobra with a 351 Windsor Small Block and found a company that sells a Cobra Valve Cover that looks like a FE Aluminum Valve Cover.  If you can find a set, that should be all you need.

"I believe chassis #1127 was used to "restore" this car."

So, in other words, they did a VIN Swap with Chassis #1127 and #1127 is NOW P1005..........

I recently Bought this in August of 2017.  It was built just 2 weeks before I bought it.  It is an 8.5x24 with dual 3500 LB Axles with Brakes on Both.  I paid just $3,995.00 for it.  For a little bit more I could have gotten the 5500 LB Axles and the extra Side Door. 

It is still possible to have a car restored to the original paint finish OR have the original paint finish. Why should a car that was re-painted in another paint system be held equal to the original?

It would seem that is fairer to one party then the other?

It only matters what is allowed according to the judging guidelines.  The same could be said for a car with NOS tires on a Concours car.  They might get a big thumbs up from the judges, but the car will score the same as the car with repro tires.

As long as those Tires are Repros of what came on the Car from Factory.  Tires like BF G's should NOT be allowed on a Car being Judged for Concours.

So, all you have said is you have only driven the Car very gently....... I am thinking the Pump is pumping more than you are using and it is flooding out the Engine.  Have you tried driving it harder?  Drive it like you stole it and see what happens.

The old site was blown away by the Death Star

I thought it was the Russians....... didn't Bob make a deal with Hillary to have hosted on her Personal Server?

Look at all the "Barn Finds" on Gas Monkey..........I am just so glad that he sells most of them as is and doesn't put his Stank on them.

It's just that when I hear the word " Concours" I think "Like Factory" not "Like Factory BUT Not Really".  If your Car was Green when it left the Factory and it's now Red, it should NOT be in a  Concours Class, same for Clear Coat.  If your Car came with a 4 Speed and it now has an Automatic, it should not be in a  Concours Class.   

How can a Car that has been repainted a different color from Factory be Concours?  Even a Car that was painted back the same color from Factory but Clear Coated shouldn't be in Concours.  Concours is Cars that are 100% Factory Correct.

First photo looks pretty sketchy from standpoint of stability.

I'm thinking the 68 is just backed up to the Trailer to keep someone from hooking up to the trailer and leaving with it.

1967

I had a 1970 Cobra Jet MACH 1 that had Big Tube Hooker Headers.  Never had that problem but that's because the Headers rested on the Shock Towers so the Engine never moved at all.
