Beautiful car - great shot.  The dealer had one in the show room when I purchased my Mustang in April 1964.  My memory says it was BRG but it may have been blue - it's a 59 year old memory. -p On 11/15/2023 7:33 PM, Comcast wrote: Those who know cars, are probably aware that 99 out of 100

This one is a two owner car, never abused. I have to check the mileage before I write about it, but it’s very low. Paul > On Nov 15, 2023, at 9:37 PM, Larry Colen wrote: > > Very cool. > > A net.friend off the britcars list had a beater 289 that he was the second > owner of. I saw him

Thanks. A fun shoot. Yep. Original color. But it’s one of one. A customer at Gotham Ford wanted a green Cobra but AC needed months to produce a green car, so Shelby America repainted a blue Cobra with a Lincoln metallic green. It’s the only Cobra with that color as original equipment.. Paul
