THIS IS A "STREET VERSION" S/C, WHICH EXISTENCE CAN BE VERIFIED IN ANY SHELBY COBRA BOOK, AND ONE OF ONLY A HANDFUL BUILT WITH SIDE EXHAUST 'DELETE' AS BURNT CALF WAS NOT ON THE MENU.

THIS GREAT CAR WAS BUILT FOR A DOCTOR IN CALIFORNIA AND TITLED IN 1989 USING AN ORIGINAL 427SC HE OWNED FOR SIDE-BY-SIDE, DEAD-ON MATCH COMPARISON. PERFECT PATINA...EVEN DOWN TO A FAUX SHELBY DATA PLATE. I BOUGHT IT FOR THE HEIR TO THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER FORTUNE WHO LATER TRADED IT , AFTER DRIVING IT JUST UNDER 1,000 MILES. WE THEN SOLD IT TO A WEALTHY OKLAHOMA BUSINESSMAN WHO KEPT IT AS A WEEK-END DRIVER ON HIS JUPITER ISLAND ESTATE. HE TRADED IT AFTER TWO YEARS ON A BIG BRAKE '61 VETTE. I KEPT IT AS A BACK-UP DISPLAY COBRA FOR OUR CAR MUSEUM FOR THE LAST 14+ YEARS. DO NOT COMPARE THIS TO THE CHEAP JUNK OUT ON THE MARKET.
