Dwight,
Three of the cars pictured are true Dragonsnakes, the yellow and blue 289's, and the red 427. The purple Costilow and Larson car (also known as "The Fuchsia One" when raced by Ed Hedrick), was converted from a road car. None of the six Dragonsnakes built had wire wheels.
You've probably visited the
www.shelbyford.com web site. Nothing but Dragonsnakes, with detailed info about all six cars. Last week I put up another site with the Mecum Sprint Classic auction story, where I sold "Jezebel Blue," CSX2019. See
www.printshopmakeover.com and click on the Cobra picture.
BTW, The Fuchsia One was sold by Bruce Larson on January 27, 2007 for $1,350,000.
