According to the book that the photo came from [ Daytona Cobra Coupes by Brock Stauffer Friedman ] the 3" stretch & mounts was done @ Shelbys in California, coupe superstructure was also done in there, only done to 2286 & due to circumstance it never raced in FE configuration, in fact I am not sure it even turned a wheel in that 390 form, often wish I had got to meet John Ohlsen, he could have shed a lot more light on this particular car. Photos on pages 189, 190, 191, & 222 with comments from Bill Eaton, & John Ohlsen, both men concur on that.
