Brought home my first Cobra!!!
Today I realized a childhood dream! Sold my beloved MR2 (320 rwhp!) and brought home her successor. It's a Unique Motorcars 289 F.I.A model with a 354 stroker built by Southern Automotive. The color is "Jaguar Ice Blue" or something, the previous owner couldn't quite remember. Unique color, I think (no pun intended :)). Haven't been able to really drive her yet, we've had a solid week of rain.

Great looking 289--beautiful color. Seems there are more and more people getting the 289.
Have Fun! and be careful:D Rain--guess it's better than snow--but it still pisses me me off that we can have a beautiful week here Mon-Fri then it rains all weekend. Just love this "Seattle sunshine":rolleyes: |
R,
Congratulations!! She looks great. Take it easy with her to start. Steve |
Congrats on the car - a very fine looking ride. I do like that colour ... what were the codes again :) :)
How did the Trooper tow the trailer? What's the allowable tow weight on the Trooper? My tow vehicle will probably be the Rodeo at 4500# allowable. Enjoy the drive - it'll be wayyyyyyyy better than the MR2 ;) |
congrats
Welcome to the Unique family.. Who was the previous owner?? and is that a 347 or 354...normally they are 347..just askin???
Be careful and have fun...that's what these cars are all about... |
Having taken delivery of my first Cobra a few weeks ago, (and not driven it yet), I can identify with your emotions right now:D . Enjoy. I investigated the Unique 289 - it is a great car.

Very nice! That blue looks great! Enjoy!

Thanks all! More details will follow when I can pull myself away from the car for longer. ;) That's what I thought too, rldunn, but check this out: Southern Automotive 354 stroker. It sounds incredible, can't wait to get a good drive in! R. |
Very nice car, great color, and I love the stripeless look as well. I am another of the many very happy Unique owners, and I think you'll find the support from the Weavers outstanding, even though you purchased a previously-owned car. I did the same, and the level of support I've received from Unique has been phenomenal.

Great looking car and the best of luck and many happy years.
I always had a special place in my heart for a 289FIA. jim |
I just noticed something- how come it has the 427 rollbar and not the standard 289 rollbar?
|
Beautiful car,I want a small block car some day,too.It's bound to be one of your life's most memorable events.
|
Welcome to the family...from another satisfied Unique owner.
|
That's a great looking car! Enjoy it!

Please bear in mind that the Cobra is very tricky to drive compared with your last ride. Don't get too rambunctious before you've put a lot of get-acquainted miles on the car.
