Cool

As further follow up, attached is an insert from the fall 1985 (could not find my 1980 or 1982 versions this am) NAF Sales packet.


While it shows NAF as building fiberglass bodies since 1958, it also clearly states that they started the production of Cobras in 1979. If memory serves me correctly, it was in the fall of 1979 that "Job 1" rolled out of their Cobra molds.

And again, the US did not switch over from 11 digit to 17 digit VIN's until January 1st, 1981 when it became law..........
