Guys it has the 289 for a reason. The 427 wouldn't be able to handle nearly as well because of the weight.
Without having seen for my own eyes, i would have never believed that a 289 would have such incredible power
I'm in violent agreement. Simply fantastic footage... DAMN!!
Shelby once said that the 427's was more powerfull but the 289's was more easy to handling in high rpm.
Unless you were running the straight at Lemans over 205 MPH. You are proud of the added weight at those times. 289 never made a sound at Lemans.
No other V8 ever made can beat the sound of a well built and tuned 289 Ford. It was, is, and always will be my favorite engine.
As I was watching this I was thinking the exact same thing, of course, I'm a bit biased being a Ford fan to start with.
That 289 is a wonderful engine, isn't it? Powerful, compact, and sounds like a million bucks!
As many race teams f.a.f.o. " proven"
So glad this is out there you tube can be a wonderful place to get away from the real world... This clip just bumped off my fav392 hemi powered duece rat rod run around the california block at sunset...
This never gets old. I love how cars just disappear in his rear view mirror
Or how He gains up on them
Just epic!!! No other words.
Fantastic video. The car really wants to dart around under heavy braking. It gives you a small idea of the difficulty it was to drive these old school cars. It makes you show a lot of respect for all the drivers from that era.
That is one very ANGRY car. Thank you!
Nah, that's a happy car! Being driven the way it wants to be driven!
One of the most enjoyable videos I've seen on here. A rare time when the car was
driven by someone worthy of the job. Thanks for posting.
The best Cobra upload on youtube...end of story
Not that many people can drive a Cobra to its potential, this man can. Plus, that Cobra is a beast. He was eating the Competition alive, other Cobras, Jags, Tigers. Nice job.
I’m surprised the other cars didn’t just jump out of the way when they heard that growling at them! ….. what an awesome sound 😃
WOW...im a chevy man...but he put this 289 to its limits. Something to be PROUD of . He RULED the day !!! What a race !!!
If they don't have these in heaven...I don't want to go.
Don't worry, I hear there are dinosaurs, giraffes, raccoons, MGA's, only the best beer and single malts, all kinds of cool stuff.
jajajajaja. thats true.................
What a masterpiece of a racing car, for me, one of the most beautiful and iconic American racing car in the early´s 60 and ever! Great driver and great video! Thank you all and mainly thank you Mr.Carroll Shelby.
This is without doubt the most exiting piece of motor sport video I have ever seen. I am an avid F1 fan but this beats it hollow. The Cobra was always my favourite car, and now I know why.My respect to Mr Shepherd for his incredible driving ability and for allowing an old superb car to live again as designed. Superb.
Best AC Cobra sound track ever, and a real treat to see the driving skills too.
worked his way throught the field VERY quickly! Impressive sir!
Love this vid Bill . This is what Ford power, Shelby and Ken Miles were all about ...Winning !!
I was always a chevy fan,but after watching this about 4 times all I can say is 'WOW'.I hope I didn't damage my hearing.
Simply Awesome!!! Nothing like the sound of a high winding small block Ford! :-)
Awesome stuff... can't get enough of that beautiful sound, nothing like a Ford pushrod V8 small-block winding up through the rpm range! Terrific driving by-the-way! A little swatting flies going on in there! ;-)
2 ways to steer this car and this guy was getting it done,love the wheel/throttle work.
I needed this. Thanks for the rush. And that’s only a 289. I can’t imagine the 427 power. The only cars he had trouble passing were the other Cobras.
Wow. Pure power. Boy if that isn't an old school race car then I don't know what is. Takes some pretty serious skill to control that car. Snap oversteer is very very common in a Cobra. Especially on a track. Nice Driving my friend. As Posted in the other comments. Carrol Shelby would be proud.
Great sound, thanks for not having any back ground music.
was going to say the same thing... the v8 note is music in itself...reminds me of racing cars in my youth...
A truly excellent driver in excellent cobra = great video! Have heard many 289s on road courses and this has to be right up there with the stoutest!! Many thanks.
Outstanding skills from 8:20-9:00 minute, just before the finish line. A magnificent display of torque! Russ
OMG, what a beast. Those 4 and 6 cylinder cars don't stand a chance, he's even passing other cobras. Great driver.
I think he is the only one who is there to race, the others are there to say they were there. A real man in a real race car!!
Damn!!! Good job Bill! Thank you. God bless. Playing that 289 like a fiddle.
If that's how much of a handful a 289 is,imagine what a 427 must be like.Unreal
Awesome sound of the 289! I could only imagine how difficult it would be to wrestle a 427 around this, or any other track.
Now that's how a Cobra should be driven!
That is one HEALTHY sounding rocket ! Damn
the sound of a tuned V8 is hypnotic!
That's an amazing noise 👊🏼
What a glorious sounding beast! Awesome vid - one of the best I’ve seen.
Every tap on the gas is a life affirming moment!! Love it.
My dream drive in my dream car on my dream track.
If I could do this just once my life would be complete.
Thanks for sharing this absolutely perfect video.
Lucky bastard!
One hell of a race. You were out for blood. Great driving.
My right ankle hurts! Brutal. Great patience behind the wheel.
...and that's the gentle pedal-car cobra - imagine a 427...
I'm back for my Cobra fix.... And don't forget guys, a big blow out at the Shelby museum in Boulder CO at the end of Aug 2019... it's a great get together for us that appreciate speed....
I could watch this forever!!!!
Thank You Mr. Shelby
My favourite Cobra video of all time!
THAT SOUND! man, I just can't get enough
Brilliant fantastic Cobra and driving, excellent.
I am impressed! one hell of a piece of driving,thanks.
marvellous sound!!! and great drive!
One of the better videos here on TH-cam, thanks.
I agree he is gettin after it.. Killer car killer driver
Outstanding sound of my favorite Car !!!Ever !!
Whew, that was some race! I need a shower, a Jack Daniels and then a nap. The closest I came was driving a 305 replica around a parking lot. Its a beast.
Took awhile to recognize where he's at. It's the Nurburgring GP track I'm sure. If you're a Gran Turismo player and sim race this track, look close and let us know if you agree.
the 289 was a beast !!! i know a fellow who knew Shelby ,he is in his 80"s he has an orginal 1965 GT350R (289) worth big $$$ he also has a Shelby GT500 both stick shift.wish i could show pictures and video of the 65 .
Just dominating in the straights. What a monster.
These gearshifts are insane 👌
Can't you imagine driving this torque monster in the rain! It sure is a handful, even with the 289!
Bill Shepherd i love this car !!! you are a great driver for it .thats for sure .
I have seen a formula GT race with Bill and the Cobra in it,nothing could touch it,just ran hard and strong leaving all comers in its wake,totally dominated .
@6:50 Bill pulls by another Cobra . the car and driver are a match . love watching this stuff.
The best video of a Incar Cobra... and a bloody awesome sound !!! XD TY !!!
Great driving in a great car. American Muscle at its best. And it does sound awesome.
I was just back from hitchhiking europe, pitting for Robert Bentley at Le Mans with his OSCA. Next was The Glen and witnessing the Cobra 289 just punishing everyone. I was standing at the back straight and a woman standing next to me was crying and screaming, "but, it's not a sportscar". I laughed like a maniac and knew that Ferrari was now in a world of beaucoup shit.
Glorious sound. Absolutely glorious.
That was pretty awesome. Love ol cobras. That's next on the to get list.
Yay! Go Cobra go, lovely sound!
Man my hands were sweating just watching - it's brutal - I Iove it - thanks for sharing!
"Spring little Cobra get ready to strike...................Spring little Cobra with all your might!"..................
+Machi74005 Hey, Little Cobra
It's incredible how well automotive technology ages.
Living many a man's dream there mate. Love your wheel work.
Sounds absolutely wonderful!.
Yee-Haw!!!!! Listen to that V8, ol' Carroll is smiling from his grave.
He sure is he sure knew what he was doing that's for sure
This is serious driving! Is this the original gearbox as those shift throws are really short. Almost as instantaneous as a current paddle shift car. Or Mr. Shepherd is just a really good driver. What a great sound!
This is Jim and Bill I love this Ford vid. Make sure you guys and gals get to the Shelby museum in Boulder CO. It is full of theses incredible machines..
most amazing of the most amazing american V8 i've EVER HEARDDDDDDDDDD!!!
Awesome video and amazing sound! Thanks
Pheeewwwwww.... Made my day. This car is 2 yaers younger than me.
Awesome driving and the best car to do it with :-))
Damn that's a nasty 289!!! Love Cobras!!
That was one of the BEST video's I've seen! GRAT driving.
Daymn that's awsum!! Is there a sweeter sounding V8 out there than a SB Ford?? I think NOT!! Thank you Bill Shepard (and TH-cam) for sharing this cool video!!
That was so cool = watchin' a Cobra tearing up the track! I could almost smell the oil, fuel & rubber .
Good Luck & keep’em coming!
My friends.. That's the way you do that! Love this video..
nice video,great sound.good driving.could watch all day long.
Nicely done! And thanks for leaving out the music.
If that is truly a 289 it gets much of its power from a generous static compression ratio. The two tight corners labored it to the point it almost needs another gear in the trans.
I miss my little 65 fastback , screaming lil 289!
Damn, thats gittin' it!
Thanks for sharing loved it
Sure look like you are having fun thanks for posting it!
Beautiful!! Thank you!
Thank you made my day.
Loved the video!
Well, that was fun! Thanks for posting!!!
Good god that thing is a monster............
Awesome and proud owner of an FIA GT Cobra ! Awesome is putting it mildly 🤠
Yes! That's because the horsepower to weight ratio is so high and blended with the short turning radius, makes it a monster. You barely have to turn the steering wheel, and most drivers, even experts still find themselves doing it and sawing at the wheel. You have to keep the "pressure" up ALWAYS! Once you get into understeer, you're in big trouble.
