Default Really impressed with the detective work

Must be the same car, I didn't remember the scoop or the tiny windscreen.
I will print them out and take them to the next historical meeting to see if we are talking the same white car. If it is 3011, that sounds like an early 427 Cobra, I am surprised that a foreign team got one so soon in the run, or maybe this is already after its US racing career was over, and after Ford made it clear to Shelby that there would be no funds to campaign a big block Cobra (they preferring he turn the GT40 into a winner).
As far as it possibly being an early replica, I thought the whole replicas started with Arntz, in the early '70s, and the guitarist who showed me the pictures seemed to think it was a genuine AC Cobra.
Mr. Turbull, if you want to trade some pics, give me a holler, I have various old Cobra pics I would trade for a good front 3/4 & rear 3/4 of this Mexican car.
