It is all a matter of personal preference. To me .. the 289 IS the Cobra. Period. The 427 was a hot rod after thought that stemmed from I believe Kenny Miles looking at a 427 sitting on the floor of the shop (that was being used in some other project) and said "wonder what would happen if we put THAT in a Cobra?". That photo above of the navy blue street cobra is spectacular. Use some frequent flyer miles and visit ERA in Ct., and check out their assembly shop. They normally have 10-12 cars in the assembly process there. They sell a lot of painted rollers and usually have a couple of 289's along with some 427's on the floor. To me it's a toss-up between a really nice street 289 and an FIA, then the 427. I have a solid navy blue ERA 289 FIA, with saddle leather seats. It is a very nice car.
