Real One,
I don't pretend to know everything there is to know about Shelby cars but neither do you. If you will look at the Shelby Cobra Gold Portofolio for 1962 - 1969, on pages 70 & 71 there is a story and pictures about Shelby having a 351 put into his personal Cobra. Title is " Shelby's Cobra " This Boss 351 Snake with it's Vette blue flanks, is driven by the man himself. Other modifications were also made to suspension. He had it done at Mike McCluskey's in Torrence, Calif.
As I said in my earlier post, I think the 289 has been put back in this car but your statement that Shelby never put a 351 in a Cobra is Incorrect. It is not a rumor and as far as you know obviously didn't go far enough. I am not trying to start a war here and am not interested at all in any arguments. So if you wish to come down on me go ahead as I won't bother to get into a big discussion over something that is so trivial. The car also had a C4 automatic transmisson in it. He also had a 351 emblem on the sides and there are pictures of it.
