Hold on. 1967 and 1968 XR7 door pull end caps, are different between the years.
1968 Cougar XR7 end cap woodgrain

It is actually a 'delay' wiper. One wipe, and wait.
Not an actual speed, more like a 'cycle'.

Sold $61,600.

1970 bucket seats

I do not think that there is anyone else on this planet, that has had as many adventures with a Cobra as Mr Hank Williams. It would be a shame to restore CSX2227. It is perfect the way it is.

If ACSCO Products created the originals, and then continued to create the emblems for the aftermarket. Wouldn't those emblems be virtually the same? Tooling wears out over time, so there may be less crispness in the later emblems.

I am not aware if anyone other than ACSCO Products, that has made reproduction emblems. Anyone know?

Jack, at Dead Nuts On, was making the version in the OP's picture.
Since he moved to the East Coast, he lost his machinist. I gave him a lead, and that lead suggested another. Hopefully, Jack has someone soon to manufacture them.

I would imagine that they were available plain. There was a Cougar version for the 1970 Eliminator.

I attended Cobra Day in 1998? 80 some Cobras on the roof parking lot.
Found a youtube video from 1996.

your right.....

you're right.

I think that that is Angie Dickinson. Google "Angie Dickinson Cobra". Those pictures and more, were likely taken at Riverside.

I think they go to the fan resistor switch.

Wow, lots of content in this video. Title makes it out to be a "help me buy Shelby's". It really is not.
Features Brian Styles, Ed Meyer, and a bunch of other notable owners and enthusiasts. 1967 Engineering car, and Brian doing a brain dump with documentation.

This video may need its own thread.

Thoroughbred SAAC/MCA/Mid America etc etc...
99% original parts etc etc...

Just a fleeting glimpse of that interior shows the wrong shifter and wrong oil pressure gauge, is that 1%?
I could imagine what a chassis/drivetrain/unibody inspection could reveal.

Judges?

Maybe they meant 99% original parts....by weight?

Roger Rode is still rebuilding steering components.
He uses a FAX machine, I am not sure that he has email.

The control wand, or knobs, are different for each year. That controller should all be the same, just made a comparison.
Starting in 1970, most of the remote mirrors have a 90° controller.
