Shelby 427 Cobras - Original Paint Colours

[classicracecar]

I have been trying to do some research on the original colours of all the Shelby 427 Cobras and have managed to find the original colours as shipped of the 30 S/Cs but have struggled to find details of the customer car colours. The details I have for the 30 S/Cs are the following:
   
   CSX3015 09/1965 Metallic Blue Twin-Paxton, Shelby's car
   CSX3021 09/1966 Hertz Gold Earliest S/C by chassis number
   CSX3022 10/1966 Primer (Painted Gold by the dealer)
   CSX3023 09/1966 Guardsman Blue
   CSX3024 09/1966 Red
   CSX3025 12/1966 White
   CSX3030 01/1966 Green First S/C sold
   CSX3031 05/1966 Guardsman Blue
   CSX3032 06/1966 Sapphire Blue
   CSX3033 05/1966 Ivy Green
   CSX3034 06/1966 White
   CSX3035 08/1966 Silver
   CSX3036 06/1966 Green
   CSX3037 06/1966 Green
   CSX3038 08/1966 Candy Apple Red
   CSX3039 02/1966 Sapphire Blue
   CSX3040 08/1966 Sapphire Blue
   CSX3041 06/1966 Guardsman Blue
   CSX3042 11/1966 Sapphire Blue
   CSX3043 10/1966 Blue
   CSX3044 11/1966 Sapphire Blue
   CSX3045 05/1966 Red
   CSX3046 08/1966 Guardsman Blue
   CSX3047 08/1966 Hertz Gold
   CSX3048 11/1966 Primer
   CSX3049 06/1966 Guardsman Blue
   CSX3050 07/1966 Orange
   CSX3051 07/1966 Guardsman Blue
   CSX3052 08/1966 Blue
   CSX3053 08/1966 Red Last Comp car chassis
   
   I believe the different paint colours for the customer cars were as follows:
   
   Guardsman Blue A-1630
   Charcoal (Lincoln Charcoal Frost) A-1786
   Ivy Green (Custom) A-1738
   Raven Black A-946
   Maroon (Custom)
   Silver (1965 Lincoln Silver Mink) A-1784
   White - A-1347
   Rangoon Red A-1440-R
   Wimbledon White A-1633
   
   Any help on how many of the 427 Cobras were painted in each colour (and if I have missed any colours) would be much appreciated. Apologies if I have missed an obvious source or this has already been discussed on the forum elsewhere.
   
   Many thanks.

Hi
   
   The breakdown of 427 colo(u)rs is:
   
   Rangoon Red - 80
   Ivy Green - 56
   Guardsman Blue - 45
   Silver - 26
   White - 24
   Black - 18
   Charcoal - 1
   Unpainted - 10
   
   To quote from the SAAC Registry, all Competition and S/C models were delivered unpainted from AC Cars and were painted at Shelby American per customer order. So any further info lies buried within the Sacred Halls of the SAAC HQ.
