The new 289 Shelby Cobra

The legendary Shelby Cobra was born when Carroll Shelby mated the new small block Ford V8 with a small English sports car back in 1962. The resulting performance astounded automotive enthusiasts and media alike. For those of you who missed the opportunity to own one of these incredible cars the first time around, Carroll has created a second chance with the new production 289 Cobra available from Shelby American. Built to original specifications, along with a few improvements, such as a stronger steel frame and better alloys, with the proper drive train the new producation 289 Cobra will deliver all the performance and style of the originals. The 289 Cobra went on to win races and championships all over the world, culminating in the coveted FIA World GT Championship in 1965. Shelby American offers the 289 FIA Cobra (CSX7000 Series) as a tribute to these legendary racers. These fender flared, wide-tired Cobras are the ultimate performance version of the car that created the legend.

All new production Shelby Cobras are offered in component form, less drive train.
