Mark:

The color of the car on the cover of Mills' AC Ace & Cobra is '66 Ford Sapphire Blue. It was a Thunderbird-only color for that one year, and was also used on the '66 Shelbys when a buyer specified blue. There were a handful of 427 Cobras originally painted this color, and all were S/C's, mainly as a result of these cars remaining unsold/ unpainted until well into 1966, when the paint - color code G - first became available.
