Shelby became the importer for 48 IDA carbs. They were available through the Shelby parts division for about $1200 complete with manifold. That was HUGE money then. The customer could have arranged for the dealer to install them before delivery if desired. My guess is that since the Cobra was for all intents and purposes the fastest thing on the street even in stock trim, few people requested it at time of purchase.
