"If that doesn't work, we'll be nastier, and we're lighter and faster," as stated by Matt Damon playing the visionary Carol Shelby in Ford vs Ferrari, pushing to go farther and faster. The AC Shelby Cobra 289, showcasing Ford's short-stroke 289 cu. in. V8 engine under the hood, was born to become a champion and is now one of the most collectible cars, upgraded by Carol Shelby himself. Designed for drag-racing, the Dragonsnake was created and only 5 originally produced, with five more now being reproduced at a low price tag of $750,000 each, while the original is more than $1.4 million.
At the 2021 Goodwood Revival, this Cobra caught everyone's eye, the Dragon Snake, sporting the sparkling fuschia metallic paint scheme in honor of its previous owner, Bruce Larson, and his flashy livery. Originally a drag racing legend, this car has now been turned into a real winner around corners too, thanks to the talented group of engineers at Jordan Racing Team. JRT converted the car for its new owner into a classic GT machine that not only looks amazing but goes like stink too!
