MA 200 wins Best of Class at Amelia Island Concours 2010
   
   Hi all! I know it's beena while, but after a painstaking nearly 3 year restoration, MA 200 is getting accolades evrywhere she's seen!
   
   http://www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/chassisNum.aspx?carID=18244&iDNumID=9877
   
   She is absolute blast to drive with power always on tap. handling is precise and as good as most modern sports cars. hard to believe she is nearly 50!  but the most fun is everyone saying Whats that?
   
   I'd like to thank eveyone who helped track down answers and documentation over the past years with special thanks to Trevor Legate and Rinsey Mills.
   
   With warmest regrds,

Not mine to say yes or no, I've got no problem with it!

by the way, what a cool story, I love the phone records to shelby..at that cost, makes you wonder why he didnt just buy a shelby at the time..

here's the link to bob mannel's book: http://www.fordsmallblock.com/

my friends at ferrari chat have identified it as 1962 NSU fiat!!!

aceca289, go to cobraautomotive.com they can help, also hipomustangs.com forum post on the restoration forum,   also what is the casting number and date code of your block, it can be found behind the starter, also, there is a pad on the right rear of the block with a 4 digit number that indicates the production order of your hipo.  if your date code is in fact 63, there are many important differences from a 64 hipo that you need to be aware of.  timing cover oil fill, 5 bolt bellhousing, closed valve covers, closed chamber heads...check those numbers and get back to me...a great book for info is small block fords by bob mannel, he is always on the hipo site and will answer any questions.

I thought italian also, but they are hella.

better pics.  we've determined not sunbeam based on the shape of the housing. here is it:
