Awesome thx!
|
Thanks for posting!!! Anyone know when & how much body work has been done to this car?
I know there is only one that hasn't been re-done, Correct? Great shots of a beautiful car! |
This is the second most original "FIA" 289 Cobra. It was wrecked at Nuremburg in 1964 by Enzo Arena, then Shelby sent the car back to AC for a complete rebuild (at a greater cost than what it originally cost).

Love the Worn dash!
|
Glad you guys like the photos ...
Two details I find interesting: --- 000000 miles on the odometer, which is not too surprising as it is a race car after all. --- A pad on the clutch pedal ... but not on the brake pedal. - Tim |
I saw the car when it was Canepa. Absolutely beautiful. Where is the car located now?
|
I noticed the pad but not the mileage. Guess no one would be too concerned anyway.

Good question ... when I saw it in January '09 I believe it was for sale ... maybe some lucky person bought it ? |
Great shots! Thanks for sharing.

I saw this car race in the Targa. It is responsible for my Cobra Lust. I could never afford it or any original Cobra, but thanks to Superformance, I get to pretend in one of their cars in Portofino Blue with a Red FIA nose bar. Back in 1964 the Italians had never heard a " huge" American V8 and everytime the mechanics would start one up they would wet themselves, Of course a Ferrari won, but you could hear that Cobra Song for miles before it came around and they just went nuts. I thought it was odd that all the Cobra's raced with their California licence plates ? I believe it was sold to Tombstone Johnston who raced it in the States.

Bartruff 1 ... you mentioned that this car might have been sold to Tombstone Johnston . I knew of , and watched him race at VIR and other tracks , Graham ( Tombstone ) Shaw . There are some pictures of Shaw in my gallery . Some coincidence that two people have the same handle .
