I just can't help wondering - - - -

EXACTLY how many of the tool kits had EXACTLY the same components from EXACTLY the same manufacturers ??? Any guesses ???

I can just 'picture' old Carroll shouting out - - - "Hey, Phil - - you can't ship that blue Cobra out to the dealer yet; it has King Dick pliers instead of BDS pliers in the tool kit".

OR: "Hold up on that red Cobra, guys. The grease gun is the wrong color".

How about: "Hold up production, Y'all. None of our screwdrivers are 'stamped ' with 'FOREIGN' or 'MADE IN ITALY' "

I can't imagine that they gave a "rat's butt" what went into the tool kits. They likely 'grabbed' whatever was available at the moment - - no science to it at all.

Given all of the Creativity, Genius, and "Cowboy Engineering" that went into the design, production and racing of the Cobras I'll bet that a fair number of the cars left the factory WITHOUT a tool kit. Not to mention a certain number of them meeting their fate at the hands of guys like my buddy with the Grease Plunger.

Having said all that - - I'm having a GREAT TIME "pretending" that I know what the hell I'm doing.

JES THINKIN' AHT LOUD.
