Me too! I don't want to sell it, but things have changed and I now have a wife and two children and we need the money.
I have to say, this has been my favorite of all the Cobras I have built or owned. The drivability of the 289FIA model compared to the 427FE is totally different. The Ironman Cobra was so cool and a blast to drive, but it was so front end heavy(even with the aluminum Shelby block) and ran HOT all the time.
I would highly recommend the Ford Racing 363 crate engine to anybody looking for a high performance small block. Even though it has a very aggressive cam, it idles perfectly at 800rpm and has great response throughout the rpm range when combined with a dual plane intake.
