    Anybody know where I can find one that says "COBRA" on it?

    Tony Branda, E-bay, Swap meets, my attic, Just about any where Ford parts congregate. Expect to pay big bucks if you want an original.

  • Everybody I've checked with including Branda are out of stock. Nothing on ebay for a while now. No swap meets going on right now. That leaves your attic. You got one for sale?

    Not really for sale but could be bought. I think it's a repop that someone added the oil splash too. It dosen't look like it has ever been bolted to an engine. Someone painted it silver I am not sure why. I would take $350 for it. I will get some photos later in you are interested.

  • rr64,

    Thanks, I just looked at that one but it is the early part number intake (S2MS). I need the one used on the 67 and 68 shelbys. I think its S7MS.

  • Steve I pulled mine out of the attic and took a few photos. My computer on camera have stopped talking to each other:?:. It is a S2MS anyway. I have never seen or heard of a S7MS repop. So if you find a S7MS expect to pay dearly for it.

    Well, maybe I'm wrong in the part number. I would still be interested in yours it you want to sell it. $350 sounds good if you want to part with it. Do you have a paypal account? Let me know if we can get together.

  • Steve S7MS is the correct part # for a 67 GT 350. They are hard to find. I had a 67 350 years ago that was missing the intake. I looked long and hard for a S7MS before settling for a S2MS. I will send you a email before we get charged for hijacking.


    Larry

  • Actually, an S7MS intake is correct for 67 cars, but only later production cars. I have an early 67 shelby engine in the shop right now that has an S2 intake on it, and a 713 dated carb.

    Wow, a '67 Shelby Mustang must have been pretty impressive back in 1657. Bet it's mighty rusty by now! :S

    Well, the roads were pretty lousy back then but at least one didn't have to worry about them being salted.

    As I remember it, the roads back then were the width of two horses standing side by side. (My kids have accused me of being from a time when you started cars with a crank!)

    Hey wait a second Bill. I started helping my Dad with Model A Fords when I was around five years old, I built up a 1933 Ford Phaeton chassis into a driveable roller for Dad when I was fifteen, and while I hunted my first car (which became a 1966 Mustang) when I was sixteen I drove a 1931 Model A Ford pickup truck to school and work. Occassionally for fun just to show people and sometimes out of necessity I hand cranked it to start. Dad's 1930 Model A Deluxe Phaeton (two door) is out in the garage as I type.


    So, I resemble that "(My kids have accused me of being from a time when you started cars with a crank!)" slurr. I am not yet 53 years old yet either.
