History Nostalgic COBRA equipt. catalog

Wouldn't you love these prices from yesterday???

 

Lucked out back then!!!!!!!!!!

 

the 3-2 set up $210 complete, today the carbs alone are $1200. I guess I should have built my Falcon way back then????

 

I have a Shelby dual quad intake for the small block on my car and I've never seen another one. I know dealers sold the over the counter stuff, but it sure is tough to come by today at any price. Even the repro intakes are over $400 bare.

 

I gotta ask, what did it wind up in?

 

I bought that 4V induction kit and the valve covers for my 4-speed 65 mustang through my local Ford dealer in the late 60s. Pretty pricey back then for a teenager's budget, and I worked most of a summer to earn the money. A pretty setup, and the car won races. Last I heard of it that car was totaled by a drunk driver in NY state in 72.

 

I have that catalog as well as Ford Hi Performance Parts catalog.....very cool to look back at.

 

Thank you Deucedaddydon for the catalog.
I'm now rebuilding a '64 260 and C4 dual range for this
<- Coupe.
It has some unknown brand mild performance cam with .456" lift, Performer intake and 500cfm AFB and homemade shorty headers.
It's was bored .030" over and two Silvolite pistons were burned from top ring up.
I'd like to find .040" or .060" piston set other than Silvolite brand without the carbon catcher groove above the top ring. I found Mahle/Clevite number 224-1529 on catalog but I don't find a picture or price or any place actually having those. These or other pistons available, does anybody know?
