Like I said earlier, Ned commented:

The first four 427 street Cobras were all shipped by TWA air freight. They were CSX 3101, 3118, 3120, and 3127. The latter (3127) was the only "narrow hip" example, and it was used as a PR car on the Cobra Caravan as well as for display at various dealerships.
Of the first 4, this car was the first of the narrowed-rear hip design
