Not Ranked
Hi, to answer some of the questions , the stamp is on the right shock tower and the brown you see is not primer but some surface rust.
This car does have the suite case bump in the aluminum behind the the seats, one of the latest photo's I sent to Larry shows it.
I can tell you when we first found the car 7 years ago we didn't even know where to look for the chassis numbers, then we where told to check the right shock tower, the powder coat was thick and the letters and numbers were hard to see so we scraped off the paint so we could read the numbers.
I know for a fact the numbers were stamped into the car prior to painting but when this was done that is the question. There is no other numbers anywhere on the car other than the ones you see in the pictures.
Not knowing much about COB numbers or any other original chassis numbers to me it seems strange that someone would stamp such an odd number knowing that there is actually no cars starting with o? If a person was trying to fool someone it seems a odd choice of chassis number to use?
Just my two bits.
You may ask why I waited for 7 years to ask questions, its because 7 years ago I couldn't afford to finish such an expensive car. I traded it for an other Cobra and now it has become mine again.
Thanks for all the interest.
Brian
