Let's be fair about the fact that many of the "427" Cobras came with the 428 cubic-inch engine: the promotional literature at the time was clear on this issue, and it is likely the local salesmen who were to blame when an owner claimed he didn't know he wasn't buying a car with a 427 in it. Even the shipping invoices noted "428 engine."
