VIDEO: Muscle Car Of The Week feat. 289 competition Cobra
In this two-part special episode of Muscle Car Of The Week (www.musclecaroftheweek.com), we hear from David Phelan about what it was like to pilot a 289 Competition Cobra in the '67 SCCA season. The car he drove has since been restored, but the original aluminum body is in the Brothers Collection, and we reunited David with the body to learn first hand what it was like to race one of these awesome cars.
The car that David Phelan who owned and raced in 1967 was CSX2290 which was sold at RM Auctions Monterey in Aug 2012. The original body from 2290 is shown in the video, along with what looks to be CSX2012 and CSX3014.
