Cobra (Thames Ditton) Forum / Re: 260 / 289 "Y" cast exhaust manifolds and curved bumper / nudge bar front

« on: February 19, 2024, 17:50:27 »

AC Cars provided the cast iron exhaust manifolds for 289 Cobras. There were two known versions. One with a A.C. engineering number cast in and one without. Most Cobras used the one with no markings.

Not even the good reproduction?

It's a good reproduction but once the differences are noticed, it jumps out to you.
Thanks for trying:)

Wanted to buy one or two  original S1CS-19523-C Cobra emblems. Not interested in reproductions. These were used on 289 Cobras beginning at about CSX2133 and continued until the end of 289 Cobra production. They must be complete and in excellent to NOS condition.






I would also have interest in a C3RA-14225-A emblems for a friend. These were used on 427 Cobras. Again they should be complete and in excellent to NOS condition. No reproductions please.

Is it vital that you're able to reach it from the drivers seat? A simple knife-blade cut off switch on the negative post of the battery works. Lift the hood on passenger side, reach in and lift or lower the blade. With the battery being tucked under the fender it's not easy to notice.

COX6003, perhaps...? Assuming the following forum post is accurate, the side view mirror and interior details look the same.

See www.forum-auto.com/les-clubs/AC-Cobra/sujet50-35315.htm#t45769

Agree, if the post is accurate, COX6003 would fit.

Any info on this particular Cobra? Chassis number? Owner's name?

Just a WAG, COX6015 ?
