Sal's comment makes me think that there may indeed be a discrepancy between what we thought we have, and what we actually have. Was there a Cobra 289 produced in 65, and therefore possibly in a 66 car? If so, that could explain the notion that it's a 1966, Cobra 289. Thanks again for everyone's help! Mike

Honestly, I am more of a big block guy, but I am quite sure the last year for the small block Cobra was 64. Also, I know some of the small block cars had footbox tags with the engine ID as well as the VIN stamped into them.
