Who knows? The registry knows! And it lists the color of each car. Which pretty much slows down the arguing.

I can learn...I was surprised to learn that there were so many with 260's. I had never seen one, there were a bunch of original and important Cobra's at Kirkland Wa. Concourse last year and I suspect were several 260's there but it never occured to me to ask and I never noticed a badge to that effect.... that sounds like a very sweet combo to me...

Old Thread Reopened
This is an old thread reopened but sort-of on topic.
Does anyone have the correct paint color information used for the Team Stripes used on the FIA cars?
I would think it woiuld be the AC paint colors on hand used that was used to repair the shipping damaged chassis and perhaps the "Moon" yellow since it was probably handy to the shelby shop? Any guidance would be appericated.
Thanks,

There were a total of (5) FIA Cars - All "Viking Blue". The following lists the team stripe color and chassis... although not all cars always wore a team stripe.
White - CSX 2259
Maroon - CSX 2301
Red - CSX 2323
Yellow - CSX 226O
White - CSX 2345
I can't answer your specific question about the correct color (Yellow) but thought you may find the attached photo a useful reference…. looks like that yellow really popped!

Thanks for your reply. Looking for what is known of the actual paint colors. As I mentioned, I would guess that they would use the AC repair paint on-hand. And the yellow looks so much like "moon" yellow. Difficult to tell from period photos with fading, computer monitor display variations and enhancement capabilities
