    Default Cobras and two tone paint

    I have a 79 cobra alternate. It is going to body shop tomorrow for restoration. I was looking over the car yesterday making sure I have all parts emblems etc to send with it. It looks like it has the flat black paint on the bottom. I went thru all of the old threads and I thought cobra alternates didn't have the two tone. Is that correct?

    All of the Dearborn tags have "TT" (tu-tone), even the Alternates.
