need help, parts for damaged Cobra
We have a Cobra that got stuffed in to a pole, am having very hard time finding some replacement parts.
I need:
Right upper and lower control arms w/ball joints. They are tubular w/screw in ball joints.
Replacement headers w/side pipes (302)
Right side fender louver
Front wheel, halibrand 10 pin, 15-7.5 and spinner
I tried to attach pictures here but guess not savvy enough, couldn't get it to work.
Believe the car was built in AZ, cant locate builder. Has a round tubular frame, VIN is ASPP427SC1202AG45 and an additioanl AZ ID below that, no other builder tag found
Can send pics in email?
Thanks for any help

You can call Jack Kube @ 520 689 0100. He owns NAF. I don't know what his serial number sequence looks like but it isn't A Hi Tech number. Both have round tube frames and are/were AZ car builders.

I do not believe NAF ever used round tube frame construction.

It may be a standard Mustang II design. Compare the good side to one at a local performance shop maybe??
Round tube, is it a Factory Five car?

AHA. Perhaps it was a FFR assembled by Gordon Levy. It would certainly make the parts thing easier.

Round tube frame and fiberglass inner fender are apparent, maybe a Contemporary with the tubular front suspension option? Not really sure will need to see the shots of the engine compartment, trunk, interior and interior rear bulkhead to be sure.

I think my club name applies. Needs a little detailing.

The VIN gives it away. Definately an NAF

Early NAF (very early) used a complete round tube frame.

After looking more closely there are some features that look like NAF. However I think this is a varient (Auto Sport Specialties??) that was located in Goleta, Calif after NAF was sold in late 80's early 90's. I have not ever seen a round tube car made by NAF. Every NAF I have ever seen used 2 X 4 box tubing for the longitudinal frame rails and kickups in the front & rear, and 2 X 2 box tubing for the remainder. The most common front suspension was the entire front crossmember borrowed from a Mustang II and welded to the stubs of the longitudinal tubes in the area of the radiator. They used a straight axle in the rear sourced from a Maverick, or late 60's Mustang (8") or the more desirable 9" sourced from one of many Ford vehicles. The bodies also had a "flat" in the curved area near the hood lock recepticle/rear hoos opening. In one of the above pictures the interior floor board has the dropped floor of the type used by NAF. The VIN plate is also that of an original NAF item that has had the NAF logo cut off the upper portion. It appears that this particular car has modified suspension in the front.

The VIN should get some info, but maybe the new owner can track it down. I've done my part.

Jack Kube still owns NAF as far as I know. I was at his shop 2 years ago. I met him at Knotts Berry farm when he/they had an incredible Daytone there. He is still listed under NAF and gave the number to danrabass. Now I'm done.
