Detail Pictures-Original Cobra
I have seen that 427 in person a few times. It is a beautiful car. However I am partial to the 289 FIA behind it as I purchased it recently.

A bunch of old farts you are. 
However, not on a street car.
There's an aluminum CSX4000 recently listed on CobraCountry with the black wheel treatment.

Must be a trend, especially since we had ten pages on Patrick's repainting of his wheels. 
I think whoever shot those pics, should have their camera taken away from them. Terrible pics.

Is that a 'look' or is he replicating the neglected mag treatment?

How come they didn't do the spare sunburst wheel in black too? And what's up with that green dot on the spare tire? |

A correct Goodyear Blue Dot tire for that car. (The 'blue' dot was actually a greenish-blue... the repops are too-blue )

Unless I'm mistaken your 289 FIA is the same Contemporary Classic replica that graced the Griot's Garage Handbook no. 326. Chassis no. CCX2-2505 to be precise. Is that right?
It's gorgeous!!

Actually, that gas cap was original on all "street" 427s. It was also original on Norton Commando motorcycles.
