I'd take this one, even though it's flared. Those puny duals probably sounded pretty good up around 5 grand.

There was an episode of "The FBI" (a Quinn Martin production, starring Efram Zimbalist Junior) in which there was a black narrow-hip 427. I vaguely remember a chase scene with the Cobra roaring down a 2-lane road. The car was driven by a woman and EZ Jr. was in the pass seat.

I thought this youtube clip is interesting so doing some research on it.
It’s not much and poor quality but still very cool clip of the 1965 ARRC race at Daytona Speedway (now known as the SCCA Runoffs).

Someone commented it looks like the JFK Zapruder film.

There were 16 cars in the B/P race (ran together with A/P)
10 Shelby GT350s, 3 Sunbeam Tigers, 2 Jags, and one Corvette (Don Yenko's 1957 Fuelie)

The 1963-65 Sting Ray and the AC Cobra ran in A/P in same race.

Don Yenko finished 3rd in B/P with failing brakes (amazing run)
Mark Donahue, in the dark color GT 350 qualified 2nd overall. (Mark had an amazing qualifing run)

Jerry Titus won the B/P race in a GT350

Just got this with a stack of old car magazines I bought.

Ken Miles leads while Dave MacDonald runs in third, close behind second-place Corvette of Paul Reinhart, Riverside, February 1963.

(The nose of MacDonald's Cobra has black paint around the opening--it's a normal 260 opening.)
