    My late father was an Engineer by profession but he was the Sales Manager at the downtown Orlando Ford dealer for a couple years in the mid 60's. I heard him tell this story a number of times at cocktail parties when I was a kid....anyway the Ford dealer also sold Cobras (and Shelby Mustangs) and one day a Dentist stops in and asks about the Cobra and is directed to my Dad. The Dentist informs my Dad he wants to purchase a 427 Cobra. My Dad speaks to him for several minutes judging his temperament, driving background and financial wherewithal and suggests he would be better off with the 289 Cobra. The Dentist insists he wants to buy the 427, so my Dad says have a seat I'll pull one around and we'll go for a test drive. So my Dad takes him on a rather spirited test drive and upon the return to the dealer, the Dentist, who is nearly as white as a ghost states that yes perhaps my dad was right, that he should consider a 289....to which my Dad says; That was the 289.

    I had a friend who was a highway patrol in Nevada in the late 60’s early 70’s. One night he was patrolling a fairly deserted road when in the distance he saw headlights. Next thing he knew something blew by him going so fast he couldn’t see what it was. He turned around to pursue but he didn’t even see the other car anymore. He drove as fast as he felt safe going but never even saw what had passed him. He decided to go a few more miles to a truck stop and get some coffee. As he pulled in he saw a guy with a Cobra at the gas pumps. The guy had the hood up and waves of heat were pouring off the engine. My friend walked up to him and said “I can’t prove it was you that passed me but you are going way too fast for the middle of the night. If a coyote or rabbit crosses in front of you or if you blow a tire we’ll be picking you up with a spoon.” The guy just nodded. Then my friend asked him “ by the way, just how fast were you going?” The guy looked as him and said “ I don’t know, I broke the speedo the first week I got it.”

    As to all the comments regarding the automatic: in an article I read just recently before the auction, it said that it had an automatic because Shelby was getting older when it was built, and could no longer manage a clutch. I’m guessing that it would have had one helluva lot of clutch pressure in those days to handle 800 bhp.

    @itsalgud1459 Před 5 lety +37

    Reading the comments concerning this amazing, iconic car, I realize how many myths and outright falsehoods are common beliefs regarding Cobras in general and the Super Snake in particular. Having been a car guy for almost 60 years (tore down my first engine in my mid teens, read Road and Track magazine [some of you may remember those, they were made of paper, long before the internet] cover to cover for over 50 years), and, I was there. Since the late 60s, when the 427 Cobra first came out, I have read every article and watched every CZcams post that I could find on the subject. So let me give my two cents worth and correct some of the misunderstandings regarding one of my favorite cars.
    I’ll start by caveating myself and say that I am repeating all this from memory, and at 71, my memory is even more imperfect than when I was young. So anyone who knows the subject well, please feel free to correct me if I make a mistake.
    First, regarding the Super Snake, as most know, there are only two of these made. However it’s a common misconception that Cosby bought one of these which is incorrect, because he bought a regular 427, if there is such a thing. The other one was bought by a regular guy, not a celebrity, who was killed driving the car. If you listen carefully to the guys commenting on the auction, you can hear a vague reference to this fact. Cosby bought the car not knowing diddley about it, drove it only a few times and almost killed himself. He returned it almost immediately after he bought it. You can still hear his comedy routine on his Cobra on CZcams, I believe.
    There are many other mythical stories about the 427 cobra, most of which I don’t know to be true or not. The one below about the salesman who took the guy for the ride in the 289 Cobra to convince him not to buy the 427 Cobra is one I’ve heard many times before for about 40 years. In fact, the salesman who sold these cars were trained specifically to try and talk buyers into something more mundane, as Ford was concerned about lawsuits, knowing how deadly this car could be In the hands of inexperienced drivers.
    Another little known fact is that most of the “427 Cobras” did not have the 427 engine. The 427 was developed by Ford strictly as a racing engine during their days of serious racing. They were very limited production and when the Cobra became so successful, far exceeding Shelby’s expectations, they ran out of engines. Shelby substituted the Ford 429 engine and sold them as 427‘s. The 429 was quite a bit heavier, and though reliable (the biggest engine upgrade available in their then popular Ford Galaxy sedan), Was certainly not a racing engine and not as powerful as the 427. Shelby believed, and turned out to be right, that most of his customers would not know the difference. Unfortunately for him, some did know the difference, and complained bitterly both to Shelby, and when they got no satisfaction from him, directly to Ford. Ford forced Shelby to replace the 429’s with 427’s only to the owners that complained, at no cost to them. (Shelby did other rather dishonest things throughout his career). The genuine 427 cobra’s are far more valuable today than the 429‘s, as any Cobra aficionado will tell you.
    Finally, it was pretty well known among afficianados that in reality, in most situations, the 289 cobra was a much superior car overall. It didn’t accelerate nearly as fast as the 427, but handled much better, with considerably less understeer, and was faster around most tracks. The exception to that would be those tracks with few turns and long straightaways.
    Oh yes, one final thing. It amazes me to this day that the 427 cobra was the fastest accelerating car in the world for 30 years, until the Mclaren F1 came out in the late 90s. Very impressive!😆

    The reason for the two twin supercharged 427 Cobras being equipped with automatic transmissions is the Shelby team drivers had difficulty handling a manual gearbox with 800 hp in a car weighing less than 2500 pounds on the track at speed. They knew that a private non-professional owner would likely kill themselves with that much power and shifting. So yes, the two were built with automatic transmissions. By the way, there were a few 289 street Cobras with automatic transmissions from the Venice shop.

    When I was 15 or so my families Doctor had a 289 Cobra. Slightly less bulbous than the 427 it was way more car than most drivers could handle. It may not have been as quick in the quarter, but in the twisties there was no comparison. The 289 reigned. The 289 was all the car and more most drivers could handle. Look at the number of folks killed in their Cobras for verification. It was a race car driven on the street. The "power" was in the engine, not windows, door locks or steering. No niceties. Brutally hot it was not fun to drive. But hand ANY red blooded male the keys to one and he'd be gone so quick it'd make your head spin. I was as gung ho on the Cobra as any boy. I thank my lucky stars I never had the chance to drive one. I KNOW my limits. Now. Didn't then.

When my father showed up he was going to lend me the $700 that I needed to buy the car. I only had $1,800 to work with. But when he saw and heard the car he walked out shaking his head. No way in hell would I sell that car to my stupid crazy son. He ended up buying for me a beat up 1967 police car with a 440 ci big block not the same but I still had a blast racing it all over the place. That engine was so strong four speed trans Dana rear. I “ZD” the frame 5 1/2” an channeled the frame 5.0” then shaved the hood, trunk, doors had a blast with it until I got hold of a 1950 Chevy panel van. I had so much fun back in high school in 1970.

    This is a very old video. Carroll Died: May 10, 2012, @ Baylor University Medical Center, Dallas, TXThe 1966 Shelby Cobra 427 Super Snake made history on January 21, 2007, fetching $5.5 million at the Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction, a world record price for an American car, auction organizers said.The 800-horsepower sports car was one of just two produced and was used as personal transportation by famed racer and performance-car builder Carroll Shelby himself. The buyer was car collector Ron Pratt of Chandler, Arizona.

    Automatic transmission?!!! In a driver's car like a Shelby Cobra?
    I suppose it doesn't matter. It's not as if anyone is going to take this car out on the road or track and drive it anywhere close to its capabilities. This Shelby Cobra is a museum piece, it isn't a sports/muscle car anymore; it's a Granny car.
