My Unique 289
This was my Unique 289, the memorable experience of ordering the car, seeing it being built by Allan Weaver, and having the drivetrain installed by my buddy Rick Bagley, priceless.
I no longer own the car but I recommend the brand highly. You will not go wrong with the Weavers.
Built in America, by the Weaver family, Gadsden, Alabama.

First off, my screen name, "wannacobrasoon", I can happly say is obsolete. Purchased a Unique from a guy near Atlanta about four months ago. I was told it was in purfect condition and after I fixed most everything I found wrong with it, I can happly report that it is in perfect condition. The origional owner was said to be about 6'4" and I'm 5'6". Moving those pedals up was quite a chore. The 406 big block built by Southern Automotove runs strong and the TKO 600 shifts effortlessly. Good lookin' car if I do say so myself. Entered it in a couple of car shows last fall and walked away with hardware in each. It's put away for the winter but am looking forwarding to hooking up with other Cobra Owners in the area when it thaws out a bit.

unique owners
I most say it's about time someone got us to come out of the Cobra closet. i have a 289 FIa built in 1994 and it still looks as good as it most have then. Sorry, will try and post some pics. soon.

I'ts not a Cobra or even a Unique technically , but Alan Weaver hand built my GTD40, one of two total built at the Unique shops. I think mine is the second one. The craftsmanship is better than some real GT40s that I've seen. Check out my gallery for a lot more pics. Thanks Alan!

Unique #1
Here's Mom & Dad's Unique 427 SC, 9 1/2 years old, assembled by Dad, my brother, and me. Originally built with a bone-stock '92 Mustang long block converted to carburetion, it's now running a 383 Windsor stroker built by my brother.

Unique #2
And here's our Unique 289 FIA car. Found it here on Club Cobra 5 years ago next month. Since then, have switched from FI to carb, generally worked the engine bay over to look more period-correct, narrowed the rear, shed the sidepipes, and some other odds & ends.
(And posting these pics has made me realize I need to shoot some much better ones!)

Thanks Tony! I've owned a lot of cars over the years, but none as long as I've owned my Unique. Even though I was not the original purchaser, the Weavers treated me like family from day one and still do up to today. Owning this car has been a great adventure in so many more ways than one. Working on it, driving it and even just looking at it are as enjoyable now as they were when I first drove it home.
Keep it coming guys. And Alan, thanks for joining in - that engine bay looks cleaner than an operating room!

Next???
Thanks, Juan!
Still debating the wires. I really like the Trigos that are on it.
Next is probably the grille. I have a great fabricator just up the road, so he and I are going to try our hand at fabbing one ourselves. I've got the main eggcrate construction down (thanks to an old Kit Car magazine article); forming the frame to fit will be the big challenge.
Thanks!

Buzz,
I would like to thank you for starting this thread. It's good to see other brands and how guys have built them. I especially like the stories of the builds and rebuilds like what roadrod2000 did. It takes a lot of work to document builds like he did on the Unique site and it is appreciated.

This was my FIA which I built in 2000. Sold it a few years ago and I can truly say that of all the cars that I have built and sold over the years, this is the one that I miss the most.
I understand the car is now in Houston. I recently spoke to Alan Weaver about the car and he said that the current owner called him looking for info on the car. If you are the current owner and would like some info, contact me through this thread and I will be glad to tell you what I can. |
