[65snake]

They are great looking cars. If they had them when I built #407 I would have ordered the same. Since I had the 427 (mine had a built 428) with a Richmond 6 sp trans I decided to go way back to the original looking slab side. I still had thoughts of maybe a dragon snake, but will stick with something very stock looking. It will be Black with blood red interior and no hood scoop. The tires will be Pirelli CN12's on chrome wires. I never saw a real 289/260 with chrome wheels, but who today knows that. A couple of other major changes will be Power Steering by Flaming river with speed sensor. Also Vintage air Mini Air, Heat, and defrost. Needless to say I'll be ordering the top and side curtains.
I'm in it for cruising the car shows in Florida, and want my wife to be able to drive it and both of us arrive not sweating. I did all the racing (both street and strip), blew engines, transmissions, slid off the track into a hard pylon (body work), and lived despite my stupid stunts. On my ERA 427 Cobra I had the engine compartment look as original as possible. It fooled a few people (you know the one's that think Shelby built a few original Cobras out of Fiber Glass). On this new Slab Side I'm not going to worry about the engine bay (just keep it neat). At all the car shows I go to there are so many beautiful deassed engines I decided I won't even try to compete.
