<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> ...Can someone educate me on wide hip Cobras? The Cobra Des has pictured appears to be normal but 3340 pictured earlier is a wide hip car, and 3360 had normal rear flares, I think....Bill S </div></div>
As far as the &quot;Street Chassis&quot; 427 Cobras go, according to the Cobra Registry the running changes included the following:

Regarding the rear flares:
- 3101-3124 had wide hips
- 3125-3158 had narrow hips
- 3159-3360 went back to wide hips

Regarding the oil cooler scoop:
- 3101-3300 had the oil cooler scoop
- 3301-3360 did not have the scoop

About taillights:
- 3101-3200 had rectangular taillights
- 3201-3360 had round taillights

And for motors:
- 3101-3200 came with 427 motors
- 3201-3305 came with 428s
- 3306-3360 went back to 427s

Really late as well. Only 20 or so from the end. We had 3360 at Classic Motors back in the early 80s. Nobody knew it existed as the owner bought it in the USA and then shipped it to England immediately. Then he put it in storage after just a few hundred miles. It was a twin to this Cobra. We ended up painting that car as the paint had taken a hit in that damp environment. Matter of fact Bill, the guy who had the 67 427/425 SS Impala did the paint job at &quot;Royal Coach&quot;. How many 427 Cobras have basicly never been touched. Only a couple, Im guessing!.....Bill S </div></div>

Possibly this car, Bill?

WOW! Blue Dots, chrome tailpipe tips, Sunburst wheels! Yeah, S/Cs are the &quot;big gorilla&quot; but it's hard to beat an original street-spec 427 Cobra.
