The Kit Car That Makes Building Your Own Shelby Cobra Possible
By JOE CAPRARO
Factory Five Racing has produced kits replicating the 427 Cobra since 1995. In 2014, they began offering kits of the "No. 14" 289 Cobra driven in the 1964 USRRC Championship.
The USRRC 289 replica kit sells for $21,990 at Factory Five's website, along with various seating, suspension, and gauge upgrades for additional costs.
The base kit includes features like a 4" round tube frame, body panels, doors, trunk, hood, bumpers, front braking, steering, and engine accessories.
However, you will have to provide an engine and transmission, rear end with brakes, wheels and tires, paint, battery, and a fuel pump to get your 289 Cobra kit on the road.
