He claims he bought one new

Did any 427 roadsters come with the big gas tank?

Buzz, yes, anything is possible. It seems odd that someone would add side pipes and a hood scoop, enjoy the car for just 1,000 miles, and trade it, but many Cobras were traded in early with few miles on them. My thinking is that we would have heard of a dealer sales rep fatality and the white car, whichever one it might have been, would be missing from the data base or would be known as a rebuild from a total wreck.
