Saw this "1965 Shelby 289 Cobra" on a Canepa Inventory alert, FYI
1965 Shelby 289 Cobra
Mechanically perfect while still retaining all its patina this Cobra is really a “blast from the past”! Three owner car California car. Only 300 miles since the mechanical restoration. The car comes equipped with a very rare hard top and the original tonneau cover that was custom made to fit the roll bar. A convertible top, side curtains, top bows, and jack are included as well as the original spare wire wheel which is still fitted with a Bruce’s Recap racing tire from 1966! The car comes complete with historic documentation, registrations, invoices, and photographs.

No price listed.
Neat tri-Y headers, with capped collectors and rear exhaust.

I wish Canepa would stop coating wheels black. He's making it his 'signature'.

Awesome! I like the new trend away from complete rotisserie restorations. Great story too.
If you had the bucks to buy it, at least you might not shy away from driving it from time to time.
I might try to stop by Canepa on Saturday to take a look.

Thanks! I think I used the Snagit at one point in the past.

Thanks for posting Doug ... beautiful car and great history. It's interesting that the roll bar is 'inside' the car and does not go through the body, must bolt to the floor. There is a forward brace, like on the FIA cars.
Not going through the body ... does anyone know if this a typical roll bar setup or something special ???

I use Ctrl Alt Print screen, then paste it into paint and crop it. It's a little tedious but I have those pictures all saved now. You can save them as a Jpeg or BMP.

I didn't know the originals had bolt-on wheels or knock-offs with two ears (they look like E-type knockoffs).

Tim: I'm not sure, but I don't think that 6'-4"(?) frame of yours is going to fit in the cockpit with the roll bar right behind the seat...
...what about a "street look" with no roll bar?
Looking at this Canepa car, the thought that really struck me is how well ERA NAILED the Cobra look even under the hood and in the trunk (aside from the round tube frame and the buggy spring suspension on the original).

Doug,
Well you are right ... it does look a bit tight and I'll need every inch the ERA guys can squeeze out of the interior. I really like the clean look of no roll bar, but gotta have one, just in case.
The ERA cars do capture the look, that's for sure.

They are not bolt on wheels. They are spline drive knockoffs. The bolts hold the adaptors to the wheels. Some Americans did not have the exterior nuts, later ones did as it increased the strength. |

Interesting, never knew all that. So are those some of the original magnesium (American Racing?) Torque-Thrust "D" wheels with the adapters that have replaced the original wire wheels?

The first owner changed from painted wires to 5 spoke American wheels. I can only assume these are the same wheels. |
