And they are fantastic but don't get all "Original this and date coded that" when your car has a square tube frame ,suspension from a MustangII or a Jag or a BMW SUV and the body was made by a company that makes boat hulls.

The Shelby Cobra replica in the BaT auction looks beautiful, but it's a replica and a date coded OEM side oiler does nothing for me. I'd rather the car have a Shelby or Pond block. |
