[Tigers] cobra 260

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

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.
