Okay, thanks, I guess. Why would the starter be energized twice? And did other Fords require this part or just the late 60's model years?

Have to admit that I have never heard of a starter delay, just a starter relay. What is the purpose of this part?

Shelby didn't, but AC did

If compensating for driver weight were the reason for the offset, then right hand drive Cobras should be offset the other way. Is that the case?

In 1963, that was big bucks. You could buy a decent house for that, new Corvettes were in the $3000-$4000 range, and it may as well have been $14 million from my standpoint in those days.

Has anyone ever identified the CSX of the Motion Performance 289 Cobra?

Reply to #7: Those "fishermen" certainly are afflicted with "black spot disease"😏

No, that is not a 2000-series Cobra tach. They did not have the red zone on the face, in my experience.

Good, stay safe

That looks like an American crocodile

Very nice, thanks for posting those photos. You didn't happen to find any Cobra pictures from the 1963 Paris Show, did you? I would be very interested in any that anyone has, and they would help solve a long-standing mystery regarding CSX2186 and COX6002.

Looks like there is a "rollbar" in the Ferrari, the tubing is about the gauge of a lawnmower handle.

Hmmm, 3H award? Heavy, hazardous and high-strung?

Sea turtle?

Just a small point of disagreement with what Dan said about Cobra horn placement, but CSX2186 has the horns mounted in the engine compartment, not out in the grille area. There were many anomalies in how the cars were equipped in the run-up to 2201.
