Thank you so much.

BTW, I have a childhood friend that has a 68 KR that belonged to his Dad and has been sitting garaged since the 70's.  The only thing not original is the fuel and oil. It has 15,000 original miles on it. I have tried for years to get him to get it running, but it has too much meaning to him and he won't touch it. 

I remember in high school my buddies and I would go over to his house just to stare at the car.   

I did talk him into sending me a couple of pics of the emblems last night, but they are poor quality.  I think I'm going to have to travel and  just show up at his house and see if he will let me take some detailed pics.

But of course it won't tell me any part numbers.

I'll attach the pics he sent for what its worth.

Thank you!

Looks like I'll be buying if you guys are at SAAC indy this year!



Bob or Coralsnake, if you have any nos parts available for sale, could you please email me at dirpubsaf@aol.com or call/text at 317-557-3061?

Thanks

coralsnake,  for what it's worth, every single thing I pull with that part number is the snake with the cobra plate attached to the bottom.

I even found some like that with that part number stamped on the back.  See pic.

Bob Gaines, thanks for the pic!

I clearly see the difference.  Now I have to find a set.   

Any suggestions?

JDAVOLI, Thank you very much!

That does help.  I can clearly see the texture.

And I can understand that some of these emblems over time have worn down a bit and / or the dies used to make these become worn and the finer details have are worn out or lost.  I just want to put my car back to original as much as possible.

Thanks again!

That's the problem I have run into as well.

I also read that the 1968 KR's used the same Cobra that was later used on the 69 & 70 Shelbys.

I may have to jump in my Tardis and go back and take a look for myself! 

Nice!

Can't wait to see the finished product!

Those were the ones I bought, however they were two different ones

Once again, thank you Coralsnake!

I'm not trying to be anal, I just want to get it as exact as I can!

And the only difference, I could find between the 68 and 69 version was the "texture."

Off hand, do you know what the correct part number would be for the 68?

Can someone please post a close up of the correct Cobra emblem for a 1968 Shelby Cobra GT500KR fender emblem or let me know which is the correct emblem?

I am trying to figure out if the original Cobra emblems had vertical lines on the front horizontal scales. (see pics)

I recently purchased a set from a reputable dealer and received one of each. And in doing research, I can't seem to ascertain which is correct.

Lastly, does anyone know if the 69-70 Cobras, part # C90Z-16228-A, are the same as the 68 Cobra fender emblem only with a different part number? They have texture on the front horizontal scales.

Thank you!

Here's one that claims to be factory correct also.  Apparently I have a large learning curve ahead of me! 

Thank you.  I talked to them this morning and they didn't mention that.

Here is one that states it is NOS for 68-71.  But the snake definitely looks different on the horizontal scales on the front.  They appear to have "texture" or vertical lines rather than smooth like the Cobranda cobra.

Actually, Scott Drake offers a left and right Cobra

So the passenger side would face towards the front of the car and the drivers side would face to the rear, correct?

And the ebay listing you put down would be correct OEM?

I am attaching a pic from Scott Drake, is it correct OEM?
