Best Color Combo for a Cobra Replica?

Since the thread got bumped I'm going to vote for the same thing again but this time with a picture.

Red with no stripes. 

Man...the 289 cars look so good!

i've always dreamed if I ever built one I would go with gun metal grey /w black stripes, black interior and all of the chrome done in black powder coat or black chrome.  Modern 17 or 18" wheels and the forma cars interior package that modernizes it a bit...  

like this /wo the red pin stripes

Our new addition, while not my favorite color combo is starting to grow on me. I'd prefer a 289 "slab side" in Wimbledon white, red interior with chrome wire wheels and rear exit exhausts. A guy can dream.........
 

I don't know what color this is, but with those wheels it looks fantastic to me. This would be a dream sitting in the garage

more pictures and details i like that look alot... is it a Factory five?  what is powering it?

I'll start a "build thread" even though it's already built and the only thing that I'm going to change are the wheels & tires and convert all of the suspension from 4-lug to 5-lug. 

If your going to paint a cobra make it visable from space so people on the road can see you. 

Now tell us about the other toys in the garage.

Those wheels do look pretty perfect.

And a narrow body for me, please. Something traditional and dark, too. Maybe even basic black.

Sorry old photo, garage toys have been completely swapped out for others except for the T-Brid which is my favorite car of all time.

Sorry David, but this is my preferred spec.

Has ANYONE ever seen a Cobra that looked bad?  In ANY color?

Yes.

I know the guy who did the initial build of that car. Before the guy he sold it to added the machine guns and American flag motif. He is a bit outspoken about the lack of taste to the mods it got. 

Insofar as cobra color schemes...

Here is what I always see in my minds eye for building one. 

In reply to stuart in mn :

That's really bad !! I would rather drive a green pacer ,stock.

Wow, the Cobra has never shown its British roots as well as when dressed like this. 
Seriously though, those guys at AC nailed it. They nailed the lines, they nailed the proportions, all of it.

Herbie Hancock bought a white Cobra new–because a salesman pissed him off. 

Blue with white stripes is probably the most iconic Cobra color scheme.    When I think Cobra, that is what it looks like in my mind.

And that is reason enough not to do it!  I would do the opposite for my own car.

Kind of vibing this stripe orientation since it's less seen.
