A couple of comments on the the pictures I could see (on dial up so they didn't all load). From the front shot, it looks like the hinges and horn mounts are Ace and not Cobra. The car is a flat windshield car which Cobras never were and it looks like it still has the Beclawat emblem. From what I saw I would put high probability of it being an Ace with the gas tank filler moved. As for the hood, while the nose was reshaped (different core support and front frame work), I always thought the hoods were interchangeable. Let also remember there were a few Aces made with the cobra nose so this might be a 2.6 version. I'll try again later to download all the pics and see what else I can see, but as others have said, it is all in the chassis#. If the tag is not available on the foot box, check the door hinge plates for the 4 digits.
