Look who comes out to PLAY with their vehicles..... Lets call them 'FINANCIALLY ABLE'. Sports cars/ Classic cars/Race cars are not typically for the common man.

My guess if SHELBY thought that they were good enough for Chryslers 413 Max wedge engines, they should work well with his high strung 289s?

No toups here... Picture 70s rock star... blown fly away, wind blown hair at full throttle blast in an open roadster. MAYBE semi rock star!

This project I am more interested in originality then all out performance. Just in the few years of the early 60s to the mid to late 60s pandoras box was opened and performance was on a rocket ride. Thanks to those that responded!

I would think over 9oo cfm for a 289 would be sufficient-

Another question..... Did the early COBRAS running the dual quad carb set up use
the Stellings and Hellings small chrome air cleaners, or a Cobra 8v air cleaner?

While I am asking ... And which carbs were run on the early cars, 500 cfm competition Carters? What numbers would they have been, and were there any deviation on carbs?

Thanks guys for the explanation, Dan and others. So would a C3 dated aluminum water neck be a part of that early setup?

For the Original early Cobras. Thanks in advance.

Rest in peace JOE... You were one of the kindest brightest carb guys on the planet. He restored a couple of sets of carbs for me my BJ-BK and BC BDS, total quality workmanship. So sad to lose another one of the good ones!

What years were the original small letter Cobra dual quad intake manifolds used... 63-64 into 65?

SOLD!!!!!

Got to hang out at a few of the usual auction sites and see some good friends and some great cars! The collector market seems to be HOPPIN and BOPPIN... Some HUGE money was in the room this year so maybe a good start to the new year. Be safe , be well. HAPPY COLLECTING/MOTORING-

Some of us OL GUYS like to air it sometimes..... GREAT VIDEO! That exhaust note sounds very similar to the BULLIT movie car sound track!!!

Lots of money in the house these days! Just depends on what a guy wants...
