I was looking at a picture of a white 289 Cobra being worked on in the pits, looked like Willow Springs, back in the Sixties. The hood is up and you can see Webers and the hood had a 3 stripes, fat one in middle, flanked by two narrow ones and the racing number 86 and you can read LUE RIBBON on the nose just above the dark painted area around the grille cavity (the B is obscured by the hood being up) . I would guess it's Pabst Blue Ribbon and think of Augie Pabst who I know drove a Cobra at Nassau in '62 but I didn't think he drove the car out in California. So another far out guess would be that Shelby-American prepared the car for him and then sent it to Florida for shipping to Nassau. Does anyone know what color the Cobra was that Augie raced?

Sorry I can't reproduce the picture--haven't mastered that art yet.
