We have an original 1964 AC Shelby Cobra 289 roadster on offer!! The ’Shelby American World registry’ informs us that since 1970 the belonged to a Mr. Hagerty. Mr. Hagerty bought the car from the LA Grange, Illinois based Sports Car Store. When he bought the car the recorded mileage was at 30,000 miles. In 1973 a set of Michelin XWX tyres and ’Sanderson-headers’ were fitted. In 1978 the car was given a re-spray, the interior trim refurbished and a set of wire wheels were added. In 1981, with only 35,000 miles om the clock, it had an engine rebuild with the addition of a Holley carburettor. Furthermore a full restoration was carried out between 1988 & 1989 by the Neenah, Wisconsin based Motion Products. In 1991 Mr. Hagerty briefly offered the car for sale before changing his mind and deciding to kept the car. In 1995 it had a recorded mileage of just 43,000 miles, it also won a concourse prize at the 1997 Chicago Historic Races. Since 1998 the car is in the hands of its last owner and registered in the Netherlands. The complete history of this car can be found in the World Registry of Cobras & GT40s.

About AC Cobra 289
AC Cobra MkII 289The AC Cobra 289 was introduced in 1962 as the second version of the Cobra, and it featured a 289 cubic inch (4.7-liter) V8 engine from Ford. The 289 model was designed to be more refined and road-oriented than the original 260 narrow hip model, and it featured a number of upgrades and improvements.
One of the key differences between the 289 and the earlier 260 model was the addition of a rack-and-pinion steering system, which improved the car's handling and responsiveness. The 289 also featured a revised suspension setup and better brakes, making it more capable and controllable at high speeds.
The 289 Cobra was produced in both street and competition versions, with the latter featuring more powerful engines and other performance upgrades. One of the most famous competition versions was the Cobra Daytona Coupe, which was designed specifically for racing and went on to win numerous victories in international competition.
Today, the AC Cobra 289 is highly sought-after by collectors and enthusiasts, who value its classic styling, raw performance, and historical significance as one of the most iconic sports cars of all time. Prices for well-maintained 289 Cobras can range from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars, depending on the specific model, condition, and rarity.
The AC Cobra 427, on the other hand, was introduced in 1965 as a more powerful and muscular version of the Cobra. The 427 featured a larger 427 cubic inch (7.0-liter) V8 engine, which was capable of producing up to 425 horsepower. The car also featured wider fenders and a more aggressive styling, giving it a distinctive and intimidating look on the road.
The 427 Cobra was designed primarily for racing, and it proved to be incredibly successful on the track. However, it was also a popular choice among enthusiasts who valued its raw power and aggressive styling.
Today, the 427 Cobra is also highly sought-after by collectors, and it can command even higher prices than the 289 model. Well-maintained 427 Cobras can sell for millions of dollars
