Shelby Cobra 289
The Shelby Cobra 289 was probably one of the most copied cars in the world, and part of the reason for that is due to the rising popularity of “kit” cars. But there was nothing like the original, a car designed for speed and handling. Think of the Shelby Cobra 289 as the Mazda Miata but with far more power under the hood (via Hemmings).
Every inch of the Shelby Cobra 289 was designed for exceptional performance. The car handles amazingly well and the line performance was great too. The Shelby Cobra 289 was among the rarest Cobra models on the road so finding one can be difficult.
