Not Ranked
Thomas,
Greetings. Got the new diff in 007 last week.
However, more to the point, I spoke with Frankie Monise this morning and he told me that they didn't have any homologation papers when they prepared the 427 Cobras for Europe. They bought a comp car from Shelby which they naturally assumed would meet the required specifications. The street car was simply prepared as a "T" car, that is commonly referred to as a "training" car. This car would be driven on the circuit for familiarization laps and not raced. Frankie said they did not prepare the street car to full comp specs.
Sorry no homologation papers. I would call ACCUS. Last time I talked to Birdie Martin he was quite helpful. They should be available for a copying fee.
Best regards
Bert Brown
