Mark IV

Gelscoe Prototype roadster in my yard

Toss a couple of BBs in the paint and they work like the agitator in a rattle can.

Yes. Oscar hired a friend of mine to put postcards with the Tamiya Honda F1 car under the wipers of "high end" cars in the paddock at the USGP at Watkins Glen. I got to know Oscar years later after having crewed on that very McLaren when Warren Agor bought it to race in the Can-Am series.

Good Dearborn Assembly video here: https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=3d94227f4a6f997d7d4750711eb770981daf4fd08d16d29f63044f420b77ad7cJmltdHM9MTc0NDc2MTYwMA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=4&fclid=1c385dad-368d-6a4a-1e47-4f6d37ef6bc6&psq=nowhere+to+hide+video+martha+and+the+vandellas&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj1GTkZES204RjRoZw&ntb=1

Correct, Ford Corporate Blue was introduced for the 1966 model year.

Rex, I produced and ran the GT reunion! We were in the trailer at the entrance to the GT display area. There are more pictures of the cars here: Pictures/videos from the 2024 Gt Reunion | GT40s And merch from the reunion is still available: Ford GT Reunion Merchandise - Ford GT Reunion 2024

Very nice, wheels are switched front to rear. Deeper wheel is rear

That is the Miles "Daytona" MK II, Sebring winner was the X1 chassis, a red roadster.

I knew Oscar, a real piece of work and one of the nicest guys you would ever meet. He was the real thing, friendly, honest and enthusiastic! Last saw him at the Glen vintage a few years ago vintage pushing his kiddie formula race cars. In the late sixties he paid me and a friend to put postcards with the Tamiya F1 cars on windshields. I still have some somewhere.

anyone had any experience with this? Mirror Chrome Marker (3 PCS) (markerszone.com)

Yes, the "COBRA" scattershields were steel and had COBRA cast into them.

FYI on a Salisbury differential as used by all Cobras, the gear case ("pig, chunk, carrier, etc.") was red oxide as just as on a Ford 9", the carrier was dipped before machining.

Yes, the IMC/Testors/Lindberg chassis works fine. There are several differences the coupe has in the engine compartment. Mr. Google is your friend.

Would love the original. IMC had great box art. I do have the GT playing cards that have that art on them you got by sending 25 cents and a coupon from the kit box.
