I'm looking at that bad boy in pearl red and all I can think of is the nickname King Hiss! That pearl red is something of a throwback to the 60s-70s. Not the wildest color choice. But still cool. I think the tire walls are missing some of that classic white lettering too. Definitely would help to make the colors pop more. Not to mention I would have liked to have seen different interior colors in both cars. Maybe baseball glove or tobacco leather in the blue one and oatmeal or even teal in the red one. Something a little bit wilder for inside.
I realize that both cars harken back to original over-the-top editions of the 427 Cobra's. While retro is all the rage these days, the huge hood bulges and heavy metallic / metalflake paint does seem to kill the nice lines of the regular S/C models.
Kinda missed giving any credit to the legendary Holman Moody Racing for success at LeMans even furnished one of their drivers Dich Hutcherson. Oh well history lost.....
Absolute Monsters..

Agreed, the blue made it almost palatable... but gold on red ! Bleh

Great cars but the colors ….just not feeling it.
