West Baden Springs Hotel is a nice alternative, just down the road from the French Lick Resort.

Now this an example of why exactly why the forum is so great. It takes the people who know what we need, the willingness  to look for the correct stuff, make contact with a supplier and then make the information available to those who may need it. Thanks to all who have contributed. You're the reason I read the forum most of the time.
Thank you

The host hotel for the IN SAAC Fall Classic at French Lick is now fully booked.
If you still need a room you can try the Comfort Inn @ French Lick. (812)-936-5300.
As of an hour ago, they still had rooms available.

[The factory VIN on a rack and pinion small block Cobra is on the left front A-arm mount.]

I don't get the supposed missing VIN issue. If the damage was to the right hand front of the car, there is no factory VIN to be damaged. The factory VIN on a rack and pinion small block Cobra is on the left front A-arm mount. It should still be there if the car was damaged at the right front.

On cars of this age there was 1 VIN location to be used for registration and it was picked by the manufacturer to be on the engine or car. The Feds standardized the number system and location in 1968. Over the years the VIN has become required in more places and on more components to reduce theft - but the VIN for registration today is the one on the dash you can see through the windshield.
The Cobra got so many parts stamped with "serial/VIN" numbers is because they were hand made and fitted. The numbers allowed the parts to be kept with the chassis/body they had been fitted for. Gotta love the cottage industry.

    In any event, it'll move on and off the trailer just fine!

So kind of a mixed bag that doesn't really justify the added complication or expense. They do look cool though and if your wanting an exclusive piece...
