Here is an original wheel

Thanks but my bumperettes are solid with no screw holes.

You will have to add holes for mounting. I don't know of another way to mount. However, the hoop posted is not for a 289 style nose.

Wonder a bit how to differentiate the clone from the real thing. I can not for sure.
Could be the auction video also shows the clone?
Here is the one that raced 2015 by the Ellerbrocks at the AVD/OGP at the ring.
I have no close up of the tag, but the tag in the video looks "similar" :-)
Or the Ellerbrocks raced the real thing at the Ring. Who knows?

The tag pictured in this post are not original.

BF42 might be a good option. A little hotter plug.

WTB C4DF-14300-F positive battery cable. Would like a good original cable or a very good reproduction.

Here is a much better flat-head version

Here are two original tie pins. One the flat-head style and the other the S1CS

Do you think the documented history is a blessing or a curse?

Please explain how "bad" history can be a blessing? 

At one time Dave Wagner had cores available.

There is a 'flipbook' preview online.   https://online.flipbuilder.com/uhzw/gtmk/     Please take the author's comments with a grain of salt and not as being what is entirely known on a particular Cobra subject. One error I noted started on page 68 on the cowl mounted rear view mirror. These errors or miss quotes might be blamed on the publisher. Unfortunately these "printing errors" will live on forever and confuse Cobra enthusiasts.

A known manufacturer of these keys was PENNANT, and was so marked on the tool. The 'T' handle differed from the one pictured. Perhaps around 40 cars got this type of latch before SA designed the 'tear drop' chrome latch.

The question in my mind is, why would you want this type rather than the "quick open" latch that replaced the removable T handle? Imagine you see smoke or fire under the bonnet and you're trying to remember where you put the 'T' handle. In a door pocket, the glove box, the boot?

Attention Cobra owners and enthusiasts: Lime Rock Park in Connecticut, will feature a class for authentic CSX 2-series and 3-series cars as part of the Sunday in the Park Concours, Sunday, August 31. So far 11 Cobras registered, but we're looking for more. If you would like to enter your original Cobra, send me a PM. Thank you.

I assume they will accept the AC 289 Sports that were build along side the Cobras at AC Cars Ltd. They are part of the 998 original Cobras.

These two are twin sisters Susan and Nancy Robbins working for American Airlines as hostesses and both will be co-queens for the May 1-2, 1965 Riverside International Raceway USRRC sports car races.

Kranky, Did you notice the unusual height & width of the rear view mirror on that 289? Unless it's due to the camera angle?

Looking for a C5OF-12127-E distributor for a 1966 GT350. Rebuilt or rebuildable

What date code are you looking for? Or are you open for any date code up to say 1970? They would all be C5OF-12127-E, there are a few on Ebay.
