Trigger Status: Pulled
The deposit check is on the way to New Britain for a 427 street car. This will be my second ERA, but the first that I have built. Now to gather parts and have what I can ready when it arrives late next year. And to decide on a color...

Congratulations! The wait is a killer, but working with Peter and crew has been top notch.

I'm currently flipping back and forth between black and red, but who knows what I'll be thinking when it's ready to head to the painter.

"Red or Black" the two most commonly ticketed colors, and favorites of mine. My all black '57 Ford pickup would be followed by helecopters at nite and rousted by police while sitting eating my lunch at work. Brings a whole new meaning to D.W.B. Also had a couple arrest me red cars with the Bob Falfa glove box syndrome. You know, "file that under chicken shi..."

I like red and black but I swear the cops are in the trunk of my red car. Every time I drive it they just magically appear in my rear view mirror. The blue one with stripes they don't seem to watch as closely.

Hardest part of any build is choosing the color. Black, no red, no white, no blue, never beige. That last one was easy! LOL One black, one white here and both are a ***** to keep clean, but God they look good when they are. Congrats and enjoy the ride!

If you're 75 years old and you want to match the color of your 1998 Toyota Camry in the driveway, then you paint your Cobra beige.
I prefer mine unpainted. |

Q. What is the difference between a Prostitute, a Mistress, and a Wife? A. The Prostitute says, “Are you finished yet?” The Mistress says, “Oh can’t we do it again?” The Wife says, “Beige… I think I’ll paint the ceiling Beige.” |
Congratulations!

I always smile every time I hear another street car is being done. Congrats....

I'm sort of partial to black. But I started out with red before I went for black. Never had a red car before at the time but now I have a new Race Red Mustang and that sucker is bright. :eek: If you are paranoid about being run over in your Cobra, paint it Race Red - they should have called it Retina-searing Red. No excuse for anyone running over you in something painted this color.
But, if you want classic or classey - go black or silver. :) Good luck with your build. |
There are a lot of colors that look great on these cars, but one requirement for me is that it is a color that looks like it would have been available in the mid 60s when Cobras were new. My other ERA was Guardsman Blue with Wimbledon White stripes, so that probably rules out blue. The narrow hipped CSX3130 is black and maybe the most beautiful 427 car in the world, so that pushes me that way. I love red, but my '66 Mustang GT convertible is Candyapple Red. That said, Porsche's Carmine Red is darker and might be perfect. BRG and '66 Ivy Green are great colors too.

Congratulations on placing your order. I found color to be the hardest choice I made on mine, but was pleased with the outcome.
It's hard to beat a black car. The darker colors really make the chrome pieces pop. |
I love black street builds, with a low stance

Welcome to the line. It moves slowly, but like 1970s Disneyworld, it’s an E-ticket ride!
