    Here is an Ebay auction for a new C3RA Wedge Cobra scattershield bellhousing by Ebay member "ccmarsh155" with a Buy-It-Now of $2,000.00 or make offer:

    Shelby Cobra 260 289 5 Bolt Bellhousing Scattershield. Original 1963 1964 5 bolt Cobra safety bellhousing. Manufactured by Wedge Engineering and sold by Ford and Shelby. Part number C3RA-6394-A. Correct for 63 or 64 Cobra with 5 bolt 260 or 289 block. This is a new old stock NOS part that has been sand blasted and powder coated black. All bolt holes are excellent and the threads have been chased to remove powdercoat. The Cobra logo was ground off at the factory for some odd reason, but it is very obvious that it was there originally as the bottom edge of the letters are still visible below the ground section. I have seen one other ground like this on an original car. Overall condition is perfect with the exception of the logo removal. When installed in the car the defect is not detectable. This is the only scattershield that fits between the frame rails of a Cobra or Cobra Daytona Coupe without structurally deficient modifications. Price plus free shipping reflects this defect. Free shipping in the lower 48 states with full price offer only. If you purchase with best offer you will incur actual shipping charges. This part is very heavy. Shipping will be very expensive.

    Here is an Ebay auction for a used C4RA/C4OZ Wedge Cobra 5 bolt scatter shield bellhousing by Ebay member "mustangmasters428" with a starting bid of $3,595.00:

    Here we have an extremely rare NOS early factory Blow Proof COBRA small block 5 bolt manual shift Bell housing for a 4 speed Ford Toploader or Super T 10 standard Shift Transmission. Ford cast the earlier small block motors with 5 mounting holes and 2 alignment pin holes at the back of blocks where the bell housing fastens. A very rare piece for this specific application this bell housing works for the Top loader or T10 4 speed or a T5 5 speed and Perfect for that A/C Cobra and we believe its New.

    This small block bell housing is just what's needed to bolt your transmission to that early Ford 221, 260, or 289 with the early 5 bolt pattern on the back of the block. Colored in what we believe is the original color there are no reason not to believe it is not new a unrestored survivor. Rarer than rare surely a special part for a really valueable car I hope a fellow restorer helps it find the right home. Seen in the home page at 5 K were looking to find a owner at a much fairer price thanks in advance.

    If you don't need a Cobra we also offer the Aluminum version described below just ask and well set up a auction just for you

    This cast aluminum bell housing has been cleaned, detailed, and inspected, and has been found to be free of cracks, damage, modifications or any repairs.

    In addition the steel block plate is ready to install and also as clean as the bell making this kit a nice find to complete your classic restoration. Commonly used in vehicles such as Mustang, Falcons, Fairlanes, Comets, Galaxies, and Rancheros, these are getting very hard to find, especially in a good clean undamaged ready to go condition. Note: Should you have the need we do have its automatic counterpart available here on eBay, we felt the call from our faithful customers to offer the standard shift version this week as part of our weekly offering of standard shift items such as transmissions, shifters, bell housings, and flywheels.

    The quality of these units are time tested, as Ford used a better grade of metal and built these to specifications that fit the job and perform it well. For slightly more than the price of inferior quality reproductions, you can be the proud owner of this original piece. Good Bidding!

    The five bolt design safety steel bell housings marked COBRA were painted a couple of different colors of silver depending on time period. Painting was done to the exterior only before any machine work was done to the castings. There was not a single casting version but a family for them started by Shelby American in 1963 for their racing Cobras and carried on by Ford Motor Company as over the counter accessories for several years.

    The first two versions were created for Shelby American and have no Ford engineering number on them. The four other COBRA versions had Ford numbers on them. The maker also produced them under their own brand name and there was a version for Sunbeam Tigers. Dearborn Steel Tubing Company individually packaged parts for Ford and shipped them as required. Boxes with new old stock parts inside had a shipping label on them from Dearborn Steel Tubing Company but that is not who made them. Cyclone Automotive Products used the brand name WEDGE for the 289-J-1 version they offered for 221/260/289 five bolt Ford engines. Cyclone Automotive products also made the six bolt 289/302 COBRA part under number 289-J, the 427 Cobra "COBRA" lettered part, a two piece version, and a two piece version for Mickey Thompson marked "WEDGE M/T" under number 289-J-2.

    Here is an Ebay auction for a remanufactured C4RA/C4OZ Wedge Cobra 5 bolt scatter shield bellhousing by Ebay member "mep1170" with a starting bid of $2,795.00 and a Buy-It-Now of $3,633.50:

    Shelby Cobra 5-Bolt Scattershield Bell Housing C4OZ-6394-A / C4RA-6395-A 260 289.

    Like new or better! As the people in the know are aware - machining of these was not great from the factory.

    This one was “blueprinted”making the block side & the transmission mounting surfaces perfectly true as they were designed to be, taking another “to do” out of your list.

    All threads - transmission mounting & starter are in excellent condition.

    Block plate is included.

    Never plentiful these are next to impossible to find - especially in this condition.

    Expensive - as rarity dictates. This one is for the person who will not compromise, demands & can afford the best!

    International buyers please contact me BEFORE bidding. Thank you.
