factory race car paint
The photo of Shelby standing with the 3 cobras #s 96 97 98 outside of a building with an open garage door. These are apparently black cars with one car having the gold bumble bee stripes.
Who knows which cars this paint scheme was used on? I do not need to know serial numbers. But when & where? Was this layout used for one race or a portion of a season? thanks, Karl |
I always assumed they were dark blue...
|
the black paint scheme was used on the '63 team cars (lemans replicas) there were 3 of them made.
'62-'63 team colors were generally red except the lemans replicas which were black. '64 team cars were viking blue (light). '65 team cars were guards blue (dark). |
Considering the GREAT progress you're making on your scratch-build, I guess it's never too early to start thinking about colors. :):):)

thanks elgeko
you'd think that i was doing a scratch build but actually it's a aluminum 7000 series from "SAI" that i'm COMPLETELY rebuilding to the proper '60s specifications with all original parts and modifications for a "FIA" 289 cobra. paint colors etc... have already been picked out. |
race car paint
Hey CSX700?, thanks for the info.
You are correct Dave, Actually the paint layout was the 1st item on my list. I have several possibles but I think the black with gold bumble bee stripes is perfect. I am trying to purchase a CSX3002 body that has the 289 front and 427 back. See you in a couple weeks, Karl |
Actually, two of the cars are black. The other one is Ken Miles famous red car.
