I could not figure out how to add pitures to this reply. I put two images of a 427 Cobra steering wheel cap in my Gallery. I do not know what chassis numbers got what but I have alternately seen these black and silvers ones and the black, silver, red, white, and blue ones on 427 Cobras as far back as 1976. Since Cobras tend to be some of the most "customized" cars ever perhaps only original owners could tell for sure. The leaf spring 260/289 cars and AC Cars 289 Sports coil spring cars used black and sliver "AC" caps that were held in place with three metal spring clips. These caps are a bear to remove. I have been told that the "black COBRA" version with rubber o-ring retainer was for 427 Cobras and the colored version (same tool) with o-ring were for 1965 Shleby GT350 Mustangs. Both my former '65 GT350s, 5S142 and 5S446, had the colored version.
