To add to the drama of color selection, I have to take issue with the choice of Guardsman Blue being the "correct color" for the Cobra because it was historically correct.

Last year at SAAC some of us met with one of the original painters for Shelby. Teety, I believe was his name. The story has been repeated since and maybe even before that event.

According to the painter "Tweety", Guardsman Blue was the correct name, but hardly a color you could hang your hat on. They took whatever paint was left over and added more and made a new batch, only to have no two cars painted the same way.

In other words, you couldn't show up at the factory and have them paint a door or the hood with Guardsman Blue and expect the car and the door to match.

The inconsistencies from car to car was substantial.
The name was the same, but the color was NOT.
