Gentlemen,

Friedman was certainly no big fan of the 427 car ,he quotes Innes Ireland co- driving a 427 at the targaFliorio. "The worst car i ever drove.it was like driving a forty-six-mile-long accident-waiting -to-happen. " his co -driver wrecked the same day.
the 427 was just the final page in the open body rendition, unable to aerodynamicaly go much over 160 mph.
the 427 car was not raced very successfully by shelby, but other racers did quite well. im not aware of a 289 car ever winning much after 64 either.
im getting way off topic here ,any fia/289 car guy should own"dave friedmans Shelby cobra ", plenty of dash pic's too.
