You can't miss with titanium with black stripes though.



Don't let anyone talk you out of the color you want.

The yellow appears to be the same as mine, and it's a stock SPF color.

About yellow....yellow is a hugh bug magnet. When you park a yellow car at a show or cruisin...after a few minutes the bugs start to crawl all over it. At least thats the way it is here in the midwest.

Someone mentioned white with blue stripe. You don't see many that way, but the ones I have seen really look stunning.

I think the original Shelby Team color was Portofino Blue. You don't see many with that specific blue paint. It looks great though.

Mine is Blue Blood Red (SG 105) w/white stripe. The red is the brightest red I have seen. People are always commentiing and asking what color it is.

If I was doing another, it would probably be the Portifino Blue, of course I am an old fart and pretty much a traditionalist.

Take you time, paint is expensive...Bob

That is true. I roll mine outside in the Spring or Summer and in no time there are bugs crawling all over it. Must look like a big flower to them.

All of the Orange ones are for me. I went through about 100 options till I picked.

My Cobra is painted 2001 Viper Yellow. The correct shade of yellow was a hard decision. I don't like the yellows of the 60's, they are ugly. It took me over a year to pick my yellow. I was at a gas station in St Louis when a newly painted Mustang pulled in beside me. I knew when I saw the Mustang I knew yellow would work on a Cobra. A couple of years latter I parked next to a yellow Prowler at a car show and found the perfect yellow for a my Cobra. Prowler Yellow not the Viper yellow I had on my Cobra. When I paint my Cobra for the third time it will be Prowler Yellow. The Viper yellow has a lot of green in it and the Corvette has a lot of red but the Prowler has just the right amount of both. My yellow looks different in pictures. Sometimes dark orange to puke yellow. It's hard to photograph and get the correct color. If I'm parked on green grass it brings out the green in the paint. If it has water on it you can see the green in the paint. And every bug in the county will stop and check out your yellow paint. But there are not many Cobra painted yellow. And when you stop at the truck stop with your Cobra buddies, people will walk pass the yellow Cobra to look at the black one first, then the red or blue, then they will look at the yellow one. I seen this happen 10 or 15 times as we cruise together.
I still like my yellow.

Black with red stripe, Wow

Red with black stripe, Double Wow

I need two more Cobras

Black is the show stopper color


Oh yea I forgot one thing, it's easy for "some people" to see yellow cars if they are spinning their tires. He did not give me a ticket.


Dan how about this brown?
Ginger had her red E-M 351C repainted, she wanted something flashie, what do you think?

Jim W's black w/ yellow stripe. Love this!
The Terlingua Cobras had this raccoon stripe too.


Sam's Viper Silver with Viper Red stripes in the middle is a gorgeous car.
