I have this COBRA Air Cleaner Assembly for sale.

Its for a 1967 Shelby GT500 and its correct for every car after no. 600 it only need the black wrinkle finish again. Bob and the most here know how to do it so that should be fine.

Price:2750$

I would rather buy a proper diecast lid that was already stripped of paint so number 1 you can see what you are working with because they had a notorious bad metal surface finish. You can do body work to smooth a bad finish prior to laying down the wrinkle finish.  Number 2 so you can put down a good consistent wrinkle finish which is relative easy to do.

A couple questions regarding 67 air cleaners. When did the straight leg or curved leg on the letter R begin, and didnt the top have dimples for the wing nuts?

Have heard that Harley Davidson black wrinkle is the best product to use?  ???

The change happened when the sand cast air cleaners transitioned to the diecast air cleaners. The sand cast lids typically had dimples for the wing nuts however the diecast did not.

This is a sandcast. And it would be great if sometimes the forum users would do some better pictures as its sometimes hard to see what is an original and what not.

I don't see the dimples for the wing nuts.

I'd like to see a detail, up close of the PCV tube. Those seem to be unique to those air cleaners?

Here is the close-up of the dimples on the one Roy posted above...

The sand cast base had two types of PCV fittings used one was a right angle fitting (early)and the other a sweeping curved fitting (later) . The diecast base only used the sweeping curved fitting. The thing that separates these from all of the repros I have ever seen is that the factory base fittings are crimped in place but can swivel although typically with considerable effort. Repro base pcv fittings are typically cast in place with no way to move them
