Title: A TEST for you......... Any Info on Cobra?
Post by: tesgt350 on February 11, 2026, 06:59:53 PM
A Test for you.......

My Dad had this Photo in a Box.  That is Bob Sharp in the Datsun 2000.  My Dad used to own a 1967 Datson 2000 that was Factory built to Race, One of Seventeen Factory Race Cars.  Bob Sharpe drove it once.  What Number is the Cobra beside it?

Adjusted image, I will delete if not wanted...

(looks like a '69 or '70 Shelby front right fender behind the guy on the far left?)

Most likely a 69 because no 70 front spoiler installed.

You must have really good eyes Bob. Because I enhanced the photo and still cannot see the detail about the front spoiler that you can.

Thank you. Yes you can't see the black from the spoiler that would see if there from that angle where it attaches to the front valance.
