Rick, search the threads here for Cobra I think there is another similar chassis that someone had. I have a note of it on my computer at home, i'll check when I get there.

It looks to have a lot od Asc. parts on it. I remover the wheel and it does say C&M Cobra on the side. but that doesnt help much ? are they or were they any good collectible?

hello Rick,

I can't find my cobra catalog, but I do know that's one of the early sport models. The non-sport versions had either an assocated gold shock or a delta shock mounted like the 10L.

The front end does look like an associated, but it's actually cobra specific. Early versions had the 2 mounting holes while the later versions have 3 for the front arms.

The early-early cobra cars had white fibergalss chassis. After the first couple of years, they dyed the chassis black. If you look at the wear marks, you might be able to see the white material.

I'll get you the exact model when i find the catalog.

Regards,
Roger

I am dumb I did not read your full post, Someone stated before it is a Cobra II here is a pic, and a pic of the Bolink Street spec just FYI

PS the Cobra shows up every now and then in the Bay as a misnamed RC10L or Bolink.

i doubt you'd find many parts for that. but what it's missing, you could probably just use 12l stuff. steering knuckles, axles, king pins....... on the front. the rear looks pretty complete.
