Vehicle Details

In the world of classic cars, not much compares with the iconic Shelby Cobra. Between 1961 and 1968 there were just 998 examples of the Shelby Cobra that originally left the factory. This MKII example fitted with the 289 has been owned by one of our favorite clients over the past 20 years. It shows off a ton of originality including the various AC badging, branded foot pedals, and AC wheel spin-offs.

This Shelby was in for a quick oil change and some very minor mechanical work. While in our shop the team had all been admiring and taking note of the various “tells” that help to identify an original Cobra. Always learning here at the shop. An original always helps.

If you are considering one of the classic or collectible cars on our website, be assured that coming for a personal visit to inspect first-hand the car that has captured your fancy is very welcome. We practice transparency in all of our descriptions, but believe that nothing is as convincing as seeing and touching the car yourself. Plan a few hours, so you can see, touch, feel and drive the car, and enjoy a tour of our restoration shops to see ‘where the magic happens.’ If your schedule is too committed, we also welcome a knowledgeable agent visiting for you. Please understand that sales are final, so the time for all due diligence is before you buy. Our cars are sold AS-IS, since most are on consignment from owners. We follow FTC guidelines for all sales and certainly want our future clients leaving more glowing reports among our reviews!
