I have a major ego, and need attention.

Here is the best picture photo I can get, I've wiped it down several times, but still can't make out the signatures.

If the names have been completely wiped off from years of cleaning, I’d get out a Sharpie and have some fun with it. You could have the only engine built by Marilyn Monroe and Babe Ruth... or Al Bundy and Freddie Krueger!

Since these were hand written, there should be an imprint in the tag from the pen. Try taking some thin paper and the side of a conventional pencil and place over the tag and rub the pencil lead over the signature area. You might get a transfer that you can make out.

Called the svt line today they will only give out the build number, to get the date I will have to buy the certificate. Will post up once I get that, but my build number is 1953.

Very nice. 2 perfectly legible names. I recognize both of them.
Get that build date so we can put you in place on the list.

Build date - 8/14/95
Build number - 11 (called and got number, waiting on certificate)
names - Henson / W King (tag was replaced with plate at some point by PO, I had done the same with my 97 years ago)
Color - Crystal White
Interior - Saddle Cloth
Interesting note as seen on Marti report - Car had a DSO of 89 (Ford Motor Company) and is listed as a Test Vehicle. This car is the earliest known surviving pre-production 4 valve cobra, it was presumed to have been destroyed along with all the others (#18 & #19 were documented as purchased by employees)
