It's the 'lost' Daytona Coupe racecar that was once owned by Phil Spectre and driven on the street for a while. It was hidden for decades. Shortly after it was finally sold the seller killed herself.

Death, Deception, and the $4 Million Cobra

Thirty-seven years after Carroll Shelby's extraordinary little race car made big news everywhere . . . it does it again.

It does say '427' on the doors last line, but that engine is a small block. Probable a HiPo 289.
Definitely NOT an FE or a 427. Valve cover bolts are in the wrong place for a 427.
Header bolt pattern is wrong for a 427 too.
