Title: COBRA Accelerometer
Post by: 6s1640 on February 29, 2024, 02:38:48 PM
Hi all,

Up for auction is a COBRA Accelerometer.  Not mine.  Kind of high on asking price.  The seller posted a video showing the smooth action of the needle going from zero to 1.0 g.

Best of luck

Did any GT350s have this as an option?

It is as the seller states "AS AN OVER THE COUNTER OPTIONAL ADD ON" and not a factory option.

There is no way to answer that. Hundreds of dealers, could have done anything they wanted...

+1 . That is why in concours some type of reasonable proof is needed that it was added before the first customer took delivery to be accepted in typical concours venues . OR you can always enjoy it as a cool day 2 like addition to your car.

A wee bit pricy considering the pitted chrome on the face. As much as I'd like one, for that amount it better be perfect.

  3/3/2024: Really, with those pits it ain't worth $300.00.  Another estate sale find dreamer.
