      As long I have been a fan of those cars and never knew they had a traverse leaf setup in the front. Also, never seen exhaust manifolds like that. Learn something new every day.

        The 289's had the transverse leaf front and rear. I believe the leaf functioned as the upper A-arm. The 427 cars had a revised suspension. Upper and lower A-arms with coil springs, I think.

            It's not a barn find, but is a pic of a cobra. My dad drove the ambulance for Mid America Raceway in the mid 60's and took some pictures while he was at it. This ranks as one of the coolest shot. slide was Dated 1965.
