Default 58mm Webers - the real McCoy

OK -- I think these are the real deal. Cal -- am I right?

Article from 1989 Road & Track special issue on "Supercars" listed it as their fastest 1/4 miler tested -- 11.5 sec. at 128 MPH. Says the Webs are "one of 12 sets hand-built for Ford's 1964 pushrod V-8 Indy engine".

They never mention the CSX # -- it does list it as an "AC Cobra" -- not "Shelby". At the time it was owned by a European man who was planning to take it back to Europe.

453 cu in. (428 crank), a ton of dyno work and open pipes.

Interesting.
