Shots from Cars & Coffee

It has to be a kit, no one would modify an original 427/SC with a tilt front end (which they did not come with). Nice car still, but not original.

See, that's what I can't figure out. Doing some google searching I found a few Cobra race cars that had tilt front ends. However, those were pictures with not much details. So I don't know if some of the actual race cars came with tilt fronts or not. I didn't get the chance to talk to the owner.

^ I don't think the Cobra's did, but I think the Daytona Coupes had the tilt front end?

This is the only one I can find online that is a "flip top" and it's a prototype, CSX 2196.

Yup. Note the 5 lug wheels.
