Tom has known about this 289 Shelby Cobra for over 20 years and has been pursuing it ever since. This Cobra belonged to a gentleman named Alan, who also owned the 427 Cobra and the Ferrari 275 GTB/2 that we discovered back in 2018. It has been collecting dust in a storage unit since 1982 and hasn’t been opened since 1994. Follow along as Tom and his friend Jim uncover the mystery of this long-lost Cobra, with Alan’s friends and family in tow.
