Ron & Chill:

Freidman was never a big fan of the 427 cars. In one of his books, and it might have been the one mentioned here, he lays down the law about the 289 v 427 issue. That is why you do not see much regarding those cars in his photos or written work.

Not wanting to restart, for the umpteenth time, that debate again, but Freidman believed that the Cobra legacy was due entirely to the Herculean effort of the 289 Competition Cars, and without their heroic victories, against incredible odds, there would be no Cobra legacy.

Maybe Cranky put him up to it.
