The Fugitive TV series had 3 or 4 episodes in which one of the characters drove a Cobra. 1 college professor drove a 427, the other ones all had 289's in them.

Even though it was a replica. But the end scene of bad boys 2 was sad. You can see the fibreglass damage.

Looking at old episodes of The Fugitive trying to find the ones with the 289 cars in them.
I found the one with the College Professor and the 427, but looking for the others. Anyone watch these on You Tube?

I remember a while back a TV show about a guy who wakes up somewhere, with complete amnesia about who he is, or where he came from. But he has an encyclopedic knowledge of everything else. He drove a Cobra that I was pretty sure was a replica.

It was "John Doe", with Dominic Purcell. It was shaping up to be a pretty fair mystery, and then it just got cancelled.

Default Anne Francis as Honey West in a 289 Cobra

I know this thread is old, but I enjoy seeing certain cars I like in the
movies or on TV.

I had a thing for Anne Francis since seeing her in the Forbidden Planet
and on the Twilight Zone a couple of times. Of course, I was a small
boy then.

About 4 years ago METV was showing Honey West episodes again
late at night circa midnight. This was being broadcast OTA (over the
air or antenna TV).

Yeah, I said to myself, I'll watch these again. And then my jaw dropped
when I saw her and her sidekick sporting around sometimes in a 289
Cobra!

Honey West 102 The Owl and the Eye
02:57/24:51

PS Yes, the series has been posted before in this thread, but not which
episodes and where to find them in the episode.

Forrest,

I like your avatar of the Shelby School of High Performance Driving trainer Sprite. It's coming up for auction by Mecum in Harrisburg at the end of July: https://www.mecum.com/lot-detail/PA0...dster/4-Speed/

Rick,

Only a Healey enthusiast would recognize it. You're the first!

I knew about the auction coming up. I recognize some discrepancies in
the Mecum car. It makes me wonder if it really is what the seller claims
it is.

Information on the cars is rather scarce. I'd go to the auction just to take
more pictures. Is that a dry sump?

You have quite a hot rod there. I like SBFs. I like Healeys. Did the Explorer
upside down manifold not work for you on the driver's side?

Default Anne Francis in Honey West driving 289 Cobra

In 1965, movie stars could afford cobras with phones in their car.

Default BBC The Cobra-Ferrari Wars





I was going to post about this BBC documentary, but two members have beat
me to it, 2-2 1/2 years ago.

The Cobrar Ferrari Wars

Cobra vs Ferrari

As was posted it's on youTube. I also found it here:

Not mentioned here is that classic, "A Swinging Summer," filmed in Lake Arrowhead, CA in '64. One of the protagonists drives a blue 289.

A " friend " of mine once saw a quality 'B ' grade porno with a Cobra in it !
Surely that was a real one !


There was a guy over at the FFCars site for a while that had a Daytona and was in porn, called himself Jack Lawrence. Pretty sure his car 'starred' in at least one of his flicks.

My FFR was in a Lifetime movie called 'Maneater' (or something similar). I've never found the movie on line to actually see it.

Ha! No but it was a chick flick.

Had the blonde from 'Scrubs' in it and was shot (at least my part) in Scottsdale.
