    Soooo…I wonder why is the 427 being excluded for being a 427 Cobra. Wikipedia (I know…maybe not the be-all source) says the 427 Cobra Daytona coupe Chassis # CSX2299 raced in the tourist trophy of 1964.

    I have the monogram model of this car. The Wikepedia article mentions the paint schemes used in 64 and 65…my model is plainly the 65 paint scheme, although the CAR itself is the same run in 1964 TT. If the paint job is an issue, I can repaint it (to a fantasy livery…I don’t have the patience to create the original scheme!).

    The rear track is approximately 56mm.

    Is it legal?

    And to make it more interesting, I’m probably warped enough to try to make this front-motored slot car work so I don’t have to build some way of getting the motor under the driver compartment. This will almost certainly make it noncompetitive, but hey…I love a challenge!
