2023 Junior 289 Cobra
When LeMans winning race driver Carroll Shelby was diagnosed with a heart condition during the 1960 race season, he knew that his days behind the wheel were numbered. But as someone who always loved going fast, he decided to pivot into the manufacturing side, building some of the fastest production cars to ever come out of the United States. Dubbed the Shelby Cobra at its introduction in 1962, the formula was simple: take a lightweight AC Ace roadster from the UK, pull out the underpowered 6-cylinder engine, and put in its place a powerful Ford V8. With just a bit of tweaking in the suspension and some of America's best drivers behind the wheel, the Cobra quickly began making a name for itself on racetracks around the US and Europe. Built for just three years between 1962 and 1965, the Cobra became one of the most sought after vehicles to ever come out of an American manufacturer and with just over 1,000 cars produced across all Cobra variants, they routinely change hands for well over $1,000,000.
This Harrintgon Junior Car is a wonderful recreation of a Cobra 289 painted in one of the greatest color combinations- Wimbledon White With Guardsman Blue over the top stripes. When the options were being chosen for this Cobra, a lot of emphasis was placed on making it look as close as possible to an original and that goal was absolutely accomplished. The interior is outfitted with a black full leather interior including a leather wrapped dashboard, which does a remarkable job of keeping the look authentic. An optional set of Polished Turrino wire wheels are a beautiful addition to the car and give it the classic roadster vibe which was so popular in that period. The brightwork and badging has also been upgraded and a set of period correct exhaust tips all work wonders to round out the package and make this Cobra a truly unique build. A custom fit car cover is also included with this Cobra so that you can keep that Wimbledon white paint looking great for years to come.
