What is the class of vintage racing for the Cobra, and what is the hp in the car , must be serious hp from a 289.

The images are great, occasionally intermittent but nonethless profound, really, thanks for taking the time to do this. Cheers, tin-man

It adds new meaning to the phrase "hands across the sea."

Thanks Ron, This video is so cool that I put it on my Facebook page to wake up all those "Non-Cobra Deadheads" friends .

Comments are from the web site of Stangtv

" This video is from the qualifying round, and Bill Shepard went on to earn a pole position. Unfortunately, the track flooded the next day, canceling the race, but leaving us with some awesome footage of Shepard piloting his ’63 Cobra around the ‘Ring. And boy, can that man drive! He passes plenty of cars, the 289 V8 singing a perfect symphony of internal combustion as he zips around classic Porsches, MG’s, and even other Cobras. "

" You may have heard of Bill Shepard before. Perhaps not. He owns Bill Shepard’s Mustangs, which imports and acquires classic and modern Mustangs for sale to the British public. He has an extensive list of Mustangs for sale on his website, including a ’69 BOSS 429 Mustang and a ’67 Bullitt Mustang GT 390. We’ve got to admire this man’s taste in cars! The video is 14 minutes long, and well worth watching Shepard’s superb driving skills. The engine sounds alone are worth it. "

Same video with link to Bill's web site:

I don't think that was a 289. Maybe a Windsor? Anyway it was one bad machine.

I keep meaning to reply but I keep rewatching and needing a cigarette afterwords.

That's what it's ALL about! So awesome.

The engine must be in the 500 +range, I didnt hear the gearbox whining, it may be a modded T10 with dog type syncros like Blykins showed us with his TL modifications, that car has had some serious development and would be like comparing a Transam mustang to a std off the floor 289 in lap times!
