FYI, Holley now offers the Sniper Stealth that looks like a 4150 based carburetor.  Using one on my ERA replica Cobra with a 14" HiPo air cleaner and it will fool you until you take a closer look.

I had seen Blue Metaline listed a few times, but had never actually seen it.  Absolutely stunning.

Jeff, we have had this discussion before in the past. The blue filters that I and others have seen smuggled out of the assembly plants (lunch pail parts) were already painted solid blue in the case of 66 and newer. They are painted much in the same way the NOS 65 black posted picture one was prior to install...

Bob, did the blue assembly line filters have information stamped on them like the black '65 discussed above?  Based on Jeff's research, it sounds like this would have been painted over once installed on a 289/302, but not an FE.

To my eye, the printing looks just a bit sloppy, which is just how it should be.  While trying to learn about screen printing on glass for a little project that I'm doing to replicate a Cobra radio, I came across a couple videos showing the process of printing on drinking glasses and bottles.  They made a simple jig that allowed the glass to rotate as the ink was applied and likely replicates the process of printing on any kind of cylindrical shape.  Might be worth the effort if you are going to make some more.  I think 'screen printing on glass' was the YouTube search phrase that i used.

Hmmm, wonder why Copart has it since it doesn't look like it's (recently) been in a wreck, (recently) been in a fire, or (recently) been in a flood.  Also gotta wonder if it is really a K code or just has the door from one.  At least that spoiler ain't rusty...

Great, unrestored car in as-used condition.  Love seeing them like this.

I have vapor blasted several of these spacers over the last year and haven't come across a magnesium alloy one so far.  The interesting thing about magnesium parts is they take twice as long to restore the finish as otherwise identical aluminum parts.

More pictures of the actual Bronco are leaking out.

That is the Bronco Sport, smaller than the Bronco and based on an Escape platform.  Here's the real thing.

Assuming it's fiberglass, these seem to trade around $110,000 - $125,000.

The graph below is from BringaTrailer for continuation Cobras over the last three years.

It's not as if there has never been a green 427 Cobra with a red interior...but it wasn't factory, and it didn't stay that way for long.

The yellow visors really tie the whole thing together...

I love green cars, I love cars with red interiors. A green car with a red interior?  Not so much. We might never know, but not hard to imagine that the seats were changed to black before or at delivery to the first buyer.

I have seen a car that combined a red interior with green resembling 1966 Ivy Green.

You might be surprised. I fell in love with the combo immediately.

True.  I owned a Porsche 356 for a long time that was yellow with green interior.  Sounds horrible, but worked really well on the car and everyone seemed to love it.

Maybe this shot will work?  A photo of CSX 3336 from the online Registry, taken next to the same camper:

Wow, thanks Ned.  My understanding is that is/was the only 427 car with red interior, and one of only two that did not have black interior.

Never heard of any 427s with a red interior, and none of the 3336 photos show it; the seats are black in our photos.

The AC Registry shown in Trevor Legate's book lists it as Green with Red trim, 8/12/66. I have no idea if that is correct and how it was shipped from England.
