According to this original 1964 Shelby American specifications and price sheet I've managed to hang on to all these years, real 289 Cobra's in street trim have a curb weight of 2170 Lbs. on steel 72 spoke wire wheels. By the time they added gas, oil, water, front & rear chrome bumpers, spare tire, jack, tool kit, wind wings, sun visors, Smith Heater (it leaked all the time) and soft top, bows and side curtians, Shelby says that added another 370lbs. making the car weigh 2540Lbs. as delivered for $5995.00
