I’ve built two Unique Motorcars 289 Cobras. Both were built to be examples of the 289 USRRC cars. My first was built in 1993 and I drove it for 13 years. The second was built in 2005 and I am still driving it. Every year I drive from Connecticut to Gadsden, Alabama in the Cobra. I drive it. Trailers are for boats.
As for “original”, even Ol’ Shel himself didn’t build his “continuation" Cobras using the same antiquated materials and assembly methods that were available in the day. I’ve probably got close to 100,000 miles in the driver’s seat of these cars. My current car is pretty well tricked out with modern features that are hidden in various ways.
In the end it’s your car, build it to enjoy. Life’s short DRIVE IT.
