1968 Emerson 427SC Cobra Roadster. Burnt Orange [PPG Cinnamon Orange] with cream stripes and four coats of clear. Titled in California as a 1968 Ford 2-door. Richly-appointed… and this serpent has accumulated just less than 11,500 miles [18,500 km]. And it’s priced to sell.

As you might reckon, this Coppertone beauty
is a crowd pleaser and a show stopper
everywhere it goes.
