      Actually, I’m pretty damn sure he’s exactly where he wants to be and doing exactly what he wants to do. What an amazing driver Curt is. Politicians talk, painters paint. But this man can drive! Kudos to that car and engine too.

      289 Ford is an international world champion.
      Won the 24 hours of La Mann twice in the FIA GT class and it only ran in that race twice.
      Shelby American's Daytona coupe won the FIA world manufacturing championship in 1965 beating Ferrari and his V12's engines with a
      289 Ford V8.

      289 Ford V8 is an international world champion.
      Beat Ferrari's 3.0 liter D.O.H.C V12's.
      Shelby American's Daytona Coupe is legendary.

  • @jaredearl6767
    @jaredearl6767 Před 10 lety +3

    usually these guys have 289's in them because they're very light engines, (dry weight APPROX= 580 LB's) and because they can withstand +8,200 RPM with few changes to the block!

    Notice how easily he toasted the Pontiac Trans Am @:31. I always laughed that Pontiac named a car for a race series that, to my knowledge, they never won a race in! Adding insult to injury, Pontiac didn't do their homework on the name they chose, and had to pay the SCCA something like $6 or $8.00 a car for every one sold! Another reason Pontiac is history!

  • @Bitis11nasicornis
    @Bitis11nasicornis Před 11 lety +2

    Either way, Shelbys best Mustang in terms of balance, but in all honesty I do know a guy with the 302 in his mustang and it sounds like this, and I know another guy with a 289 in his 1964 Ford Mustang and it sounds slightly higher pitched, higher wound engine.

  • @phantomTomcat1985
    @phantomTomcat1985 Před 11 lety +1

    4.7 litre to be more exact. I think its actually 4.65 or 4.68

  • @navarraeng

    nope it would have a 289, which is 4.7 liter.

  • @Bitis11nasicornis
    @Bitis11nasicornis Před 11 lety +1

    Yeah a 1965 Shelby GT350 is a 289 or 4.7, but this car I believe is a 1965 Shelby GT350R which is a 302 or 5 litre engine, listen to the engine, it sounds like a 302, but I could be wrong.

    • @289cobra9
      @289cobra9 Před 3 lety

      289. 302 were put in production in 1968.

    @crocostimpy Před 9 lety

    Hey, COBRA AUTOMOTIVE dudes, why don't you just tell us what this car was running, a 289 or a 302, or maybe even a Chevy 327 (heaven forfend), but whatever it is please fess-up...

    • @289cobra9
      @289cobra9 Před 3 lety

      289.
      The 1965 GT-350r beat the 327 corvette in the SCCA B- Production class.
      In it's first race, 2/14/65 it qualified in the first 4 out of 5 starting positions including the front row but they came home 1-2-3.
      Out of 14 races that year these cars won 12 of them & the other two were won by Corvettes.

  • @navarraeng
    @navarraeng Před 11 lety +1

    you cant decipher the sound between a 289 and 302. The engine is the same, just a shorter stroke...
    Now whether or not these guys actually have 289's is a whole different story! I would venture to say they don't regardless of what they are 'supposed' to have

    • @garlandjones7709
      @garlandjones7709 Před 5 lety

      You can hear difference in a 302 and 289 based on stroke only if you're familiar with. This is due to piston speed

  • @Bitis11nasicornis
    @Bitis11nasicornis Před 11 lety

    its a 5 litre V8 engine
