Interesting! I was told by someone that I thought was an authority that the race 427s had the lip on the rear fenders. I appears not so, based on CSX 3017, that has no rear lips. I am now wondering when did the rear fender lip start? With the 4000 series?
Added:
That can't be because I see a picture of CSX 3155 that has the fender lips.

Yep, that's how you recognize a replica!
Just kidding, full comp cars did not have the lip. The lip was added to SC's as street use would most likely add more suspension travel with the possibility of tire rub. |

He doesn't list 3002, 2131 or 2142? Did his mother raise him wrong?!

I think CSX2287 the Daytona prototype car should be on the list, as well as CSX2601 the world champion.

If I was compiling the list, it would have to include CSX4068. 'Cause it's the one I am lucky enough to own!

You'd think, huh?
Those MSN articles are somethin else.
There's one today about 'End of the World' must have cars. Like a 911...

While possibly true, I think you boys over at Provo are a little too modest!
There is Larry Ellison's billet cobra that should be on a list of top 10, as well as possibly a Copper and Bronze one too IMHO  |

3035 is without a doubt the most relevant of the 427's. Won more races than any other 427, and the fastest recorded of the 427's. A truly bogus article.

I'm with ya John. I've typically found that journalist who somehow feel they need to generate a "top 10 list" are typically not in a top ten list of their own profession.

If you look at this photo, you'll see them both ways. With and without a lip on the rear fender.

CSX4000 is the "original clone?" Actually, Shelby was a little late to the clone party.

CSX 4000 Cobra
"The first reproduction of the Shelby Cobra, CSX 4000 gave birth to the kit-car legions of Cobras all over the U.S. and has become the most replicated car in history."
hahahaha... that's pretty funny. |

Probably the most significant Cobra to ME...
In addition to all the great and historically significant Cobras that were in Monterey, probably the most significant Cobra to me personally would have to be CSX3243, which was the star car in The Gumball Rally.
I never saw the Cobras race back in the day, so the first time I saw one was in that movie. I was just a kid, but the effect was permanent. I've been Cobra mad ever since.
CSX3243 was in the paddock at the Monterey Historics. It was supposed to race, but was sidelined due to engine problems.
Posing next to CSX3243.
Brag board for CSX3243.

Walking along the Cobra pit at the Monterey Classics Cobra Reunion races at Laguna Seca, there must have been about 50 original Cobras...and probably about 50 different rear/front fender configurations!
