Hi all,

I believe this is an original lid based on the below listed  4 features and the info here and on NVSAAC.  Is this right?  What year does this make the lid with the wrinkle paint finish?  1968?

1) Die cast marks on underside
2) Rectangle casting mark around "COBRA"
3) The "R" curved foot
4) The "O" is wider that tall.

Thanks

Cory

The 4 points are right in this case. FYI the vast majority of 67 GT500 lids were black wrinkle too. This one is for a 68 however based on the way the black wrinkle is painted and the center hole.

FYI I just visited and the NVSAAC website and it looks to be inactive by almost 20 years based on revision and modification dates posted. I stopped visiting more the 10 years ago.The information there is was found to be dated to say the least. I found mis information all over the site. It appears no one s minding the store.
