If you add "build quality" to the mix, the top contenders mentioned here will surly reset in a different order. Remember those booger welds we discussed in the past.
a word of caution; A friend of mine came across several sets of Cebie headlamps some years ago for a very cheap price. All in very good shape from a importer friend. It was found after installation that they dipped to the left on low beam due to the way the inner glass reflector lines were cast...
My CAV #99 has a "c" channel supported off the RBT trans-axle. There is a strip of rubber pad at the base of the channel for both coolers to sit on. Holes are drilled into the upright sides of the "c" channel to attache springs into to hold the coolers in place in the channel looping over the...
I just found a Fujimi kit made in Japan 1/24 scale glue kit of P0077 in it's original livery of yellow with a white stripe/black outline over the top. It has the Westlake heads and the correct Webers with the top tin cover. Also the wide Gulf rear clam as it was the car built just after the 2...
"All I know is I woke up one day, and they told me my great, great , great, great, great, Grandma was Sak- a- ja- wea! She hung with a coupe dude's named Clark & Lewis, and was always on some kind of trip.
Thanks for showing the HM plate; very excited to see this on "THE ACTUAL WINNING CAR OF THE 1966 LeMANS 24 HOUR RACE" !!!! I need to go there and see it in person. Is there a remote chance I could go under the ropes and touch it? Need it dusted? Waxed? I 'am only about a 20 hour drive...
I would assume the plate arrived on the car after it was wrecked in the "s" turns at LeMans 24 hour in 1967. The history books state it was shipped to Holman Moody and stored until purchased by a privateer after that crash. I don't have the books here at work, I think it may have arrived at H-M...
(not many around?) At the 50th Cobra reunion Monterey/ Laguna Seca 2013 we were with a group of 29 Daytona Coupes. Two original cars, one on display at the Shelby-Ford display, the other racing in the main Cobra event (Walton's car that he crashed at turn five) Brock reserved an entire motel in...
The Brock/Superformance Coupe's wheel base is 93 inches. The extra 3 inch length was added to the foot wells to accommodate non-jockey sized drivers. .......Forever Ford!

Yes! The Mk II coupe is currently available. Back in 2007 Brock loaned his personal car to Road & Track to road test it. They set an all time new record since they started doing data on car in 1956, for the skid pad G force rating, and the solumn course run through the cones. His car was at...
The Brock Daytona coupe's shallow off set wheel was due mostly to the design of the larger rotors used and the longer upper and lower control arms at the rear which were designed to pivot off the rear center with only a 9 inch span across the diff to the mounting points. This was done to allow...
