While not used on any racing 289 Cobras to my knowledge, I’ve got a real hankering to paint the car in a style similar to the ‘68/‘69 Gulf Oil-sponsored GT40s. Not really my style, but maybe that’s why I like it. The GT40s were the first race cars that really caught my attention and there’s something about that sky blue/marigold orange paint scheme on the Gulf cars that really stands out. I was/am also a big fan of the Gulf Porsche 917s. I’ll need to hash out how the orange nose would work out on a Cobra. Has anyone seen a Cobra in those colors?
Anyway, still hashing through the idea. Otherwise, I’ll default back to my original gunmetal gray with dark blue stripes.
