Default Arntz Butler Cobra
I believe you have a Butler cobra or a frame made by Butler for an Arntz Cobra, maybe. However the number stamping on your frame is crude and untidy. Butler marked his frames with very neat number punching.

I will check my chassis/frame number sequence tomorrow it is a similar number and I don't remember without looking at it.

The Arntz/Butler frame is a give-away but more photos of the engine bay, trunk, Undercarriage, etc. will confirm a lot more.

The front suspension attachment brackets still have the original mounting points for the MGB suspension, but someone has grafted something totally custom in its place.

Look at my photo albums here in my profile and see if you see many other items in common.

Do a posting in the Arntz Butler Forum here on club Cobra and the Arntz/Butler guys will chime in.

Good luck with it.
