Probably because 290 was a "PR" car delivered direct from Shelby to Competition Press/Autoweek editor Bill Finefrock (RIP).

Even 6S290 was black.

A couple years ago he said he needed what he had left. I decided to rely on engine heat.

I could use a core too.

I believe I remember being in some Cotati races and practice sessions with the Kode Key Mustang. Was it driven "back in the day" by Bob Barker?

Try looking at the "Classic Blue Performance" site on eBay.

Was on their "notification" list. Received an "action alert" from them today with the ability to order online. Their discrepancy, not mine. FYI.

California Pony Cars is reporting the elusive cap is in stock.

Modern welding may have improved today's repros but I had to reinforce the original Ford versions to keep them from cracking and breaking.

Shelby had significant racing failures of the aluminum long tail housing T-10L used in the Cobras. I personally experience it too. It's reasonable to assume they phased in the cast iron parts to the GT350's based on their Cobra experience.

$17.00/gallon for Sunoco 110.

I had the same problem in 3rd with my T10L and finally fixed it by replacing the cracked aluminum tail housing. Very common with the longer "L" tail.

Early on JL was at many of the races, SCCA and Pro, with Shelby's Goodyear race tire support team. Bought my Cobra's first race tires from him back in '66 or '67.

Five seasons of SCCA racing developed the patina on my Cobra. Adds to authenticity. Saves cash. Made the repaint decision easy.
