It seems like every Shelby Cobra has a story, and this 289 is no exception. Sports Car Graphic used this very example as a test car in its pages, where the seller says it received “rave reviews.”

One other notable thing about this Cobra: It’s the first Cobra known to have been built with the final-style small, round Cobra badges.

The current owner of this Cobra has had it since 1984. As far as condition, the seller notes: “Paint is in nice condition showing patina and some flaws (mainly on trunk lid with fuel spill stains, and slight bubbling of paint) but resprayed in 1984 and shows well.” The original 289 has been replaced with a balanced and blueprinted 289.
