I bought my Unique 289FIA from it's original owner last summer, and I couldn't be happier. I second what all the other's say about the Weaver's and the whole Unique organization. They have provided me with outstanding customer service, even though I bought the car second-hand. I also consider it a "hybrid" since Unique uses the coil-spring suspension, too.

I saved quite a bit of $$$ buying it "used" with 2700 miles on it, and I've doubled it's mileage in 6 months without incident (except for lots of smiles and thumbs-ups). Runs, rides, and drives like a champ, and is just a bit different than all the other Cobras here in town (40+ 427's in K.C., but only 4 289's).

Beware though. The general public only knows about the 427 Cobra, so everybody will ask you if "it's got a big-block in it"....

Besides, the 289FIA was the car that REALLY kicked Ferrari's ass!!! *****Can of Worms Officially Opened****
