I grabbed every single one of FM's 427SC Cobras. I was in a feeding frenzy back then. Exoto was doing a lineup of 20s and 289s and all I had in 1/24 was a Bburago I detailed. This black Cobra LE of 1500 is both the most sinister looking of the bunch and the hardest to photograph.

Rich, you did a fine job photographing the black snake.  I have this one and the original unpainted number 98 issue.  FM did a great job replicating these Cobras.  Do you know many versions did they made?

Wow Tony, thanks for the info!  I see my Cobra collection is severely lacking!  FM sure got their money out of this tooling.

Got three others since that was taken Pete. Love them snakes!

For rarity, my favorite is the One-of-80 in red signed by Shelby. For color, probably between these two:

002
