Roland,
Yes, I have that tape. Ron was a good friend of mine but I've lost track of
him.You were referring to the Armour Productions tape weren't you?
My Cobra is much changed since then. Do I know you or what part of the
country you are located? Forgive me, but my memory isn't what it once was. It
would be nice to get a parallel tape made similar to the original one.
Take care and I'll be talking? to you.

Bud,
According to the SAAC's Cobra registry the first 75 cars (76 counting the
CSX2000 prototype) came with HiPo 260s. Many were changed over to 289s,
even some to 302s and? But my understanding is that this has reversed to
some extent in
recent years as more owners have opted for originality. In the late '60s
and early '70s 260 Cobras tended to sell for a lot less than 289s, but
that's generally no longer the case.
A lot of big block street Cobra owners switched the 428 engines that
originally came in some of their cars to 427s, but I don't think there has
been much of a reversal of that.
By the way, do you have a copy of this video that I believe features your
car? I bought the VCR tape back in the '90s.

Ron,
My Cobra is 2046. It was a 260 engine car but when I got it a 289.
Bought from Lynn Park. I've been told the change came about #2075.
Many were changed for the customers by Shelby for a nominal amount.
