    Maybe it's called Stile Auto. Anyhow the magazine has been defunct for decades now but you might be able to find it on ebay. They had a three page story on the 427 Cobra done for Ghia, not the one with the old leftover Fiat 8V Supersonic body built for Sir John Willment but the one that was a dark blue roadster with removable hardtop with tan (goose beak color) interior and white mag wheels. Never seen it pictured any other place or seen any pictures of the car restored.
    The article is mostly black & whtie but there is one closeup of the roof and that's how I know the color of the car and interior. In all the books I've read on Shelby there is no mention of a contract being given to Ghia
