Great looking GT350.  Love the color, wheels, stripes, etc.  Curious about the top surface of the inner fender near the right side hood hinge (might be my bad eyesight).

One gallon of old school Guardsman Blue Metallic acrylic lacquer.  Hard to find today and perfect for the concours minded shop (1965/66 stripes, Cobras, GT40's, SAI racers).  Unlike modern day acrylic lacquers, this Sherwin Williams lacquer is the real deal with excellent flow out and durability (made before the EPA ban on lead content).  After mixing with solvent, this will make 2 to 2.5 gallons of ready to spray paint.  Compare to the cost of today's paint.

It has been properly stored and unopened since I bought it several decades ago.

FREE local pickup in Ocala, Florida or $65 for UPS shipping (signature required) to continental USA locations.  No overseas shipping. $475.

He's a very good driver in any car he's piloting, including this Superformance replica GT40. 

Probably USRRC Cobra CSX2557, Murray Kellner.

I have a NOS one in the tan/brown box. Box is raggety,but cap is fine. FoMoCo in oval logo. Real deal no funny stuff. $260 shipped to most US locations.

Thank you for the offer.  Yes, I would like to buy it.  Please PM me with address so I can send payment, asap.  Thanks!

For those who might be interested:  One idiosyncrasy specific to the original 1960’s FoMoCo C6FE 289 cylinder heads was the bolt hole to the right side of each exhaust port was drilled through into the water jacket.  Back in the day, after seeing water seeping out near several exhaust ports, more than one mechanic concluded the head was cracked.

The preferred cure was to install a short set screw (with sealant) deep under the header bolt, or apply sealant to the header bolt threads.

As Randy correctly posted, cracks in original C6FE heads were quite common.  Usually, the cracks occurred at the lower outer corners of the head. 

Cory ,
    That is a "newer" version than mine. Mine has the fins going front to back and has two COBRA logos ( similar to a '65 intake) in between the outer fins on each side.

Less than ten cast alum Cobra C4 deep pans (like Cory's) were made in the late 70's to early 80's. So, they are nearly 40 years old.  As Randy said, the pans came with a steel bolt on extension to place a Chrysler Torq filter close to the bottom of the pan. The COBRA script was done to compliment the COBRA script on the engine oil pan.  Very heavy 356-T6 casting (think bubba with a floor jack).

I have a few accordion seals available for reservoirs & master cylinders. 

Convert your Cobra or GT40 to a SEALED brake/clutch fluid system.  Stops water absorption into your brake fluid - moisture which can cause expensive repairs due to corroded master cylinders, brake calipers & clutch slave internals. 

Fits standard Girling 1-3/8” ID steel reservoir canisters (e.g. 427 Cobra, GT40) and some master cylinders w/ internal reservoirs (e.g. 289 Cobra clutch, etc).  The length of the accordion seal also fits Girling combined reservoirs (e.g. GT40 rear brake & clutch reservoir). 

Simply remove the old rubber seal under the cap and install this accordion seal and save hundreds in repair costs & annual fluid changes.  Send PM for more info.  $38.50 each plus $5 for 1st class mail.
