A good guess would be that the painting was done by Bill Neale.

I don't think there ever was an original Cobra that wore or raced with that livery.

There was a plan to make 'tribute cars' using CSX4000 platforms.

Here's an old post about it:

I saw the first completed car and the 2nd car maybe halfway finished in March of 1998. I think one car was headed to the Peterson Museum, and it was built out of sequence as the last number of the group. I have no idea where the cars are today or their owners.
