If you are going "correct", black is the color.

A decent 427 - not the worst, not the best, will go from zero to 100 mph and back down again to zero in less than 14 seconds. All thing considered, you can put together a pretty good argument that the 427 Cobra is the ultimate performance car, judged on any basis you want to name."

According to my research, all sides pipes came black. Some of the comp cars had white pipes and headers, which were done by the owners (hi-temp coating), not Shelby. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

For what it's worth...On page 250 of The Cobra-Ferrari Wars is a picture of CSX3002 with white side pipes. 3002 was the only works comp 427. It is pictured with an early street 427 at LAX in April, 1965. |

SC vs Comp side pipe colors
Competition cars- some had white pipes, SC cars all had black pipes. All street cars with sidepipes had black pipes.

There's no such thing as a street car with sidepipes  .
Any street car with sidepipes was done after the fact.

Power Surge,
I'm curious about what you mean by "after the fact." I have always thought that things like side pipes, roll bars, and hood scoops were options that were available from Shelby for delivery to the original owner of the car. Are you saying that any 427 street car with side pipes had to have them installed by an owner after initial delivery, or do you just mean that the car was not shipped from England with them? If you mean the former, I wonder how you know this to be true.

Right. A street car is a street car. No side pipes, no hood scoop, no roll bar. Any street car that has those items, had them added after the car was delivered new.
