The Shelby 289 Cobra that Steve McQueen loved

The Shelby 289 Cobra that Steve McQueen loved

1963 Shelby 289 Cobra Roadster by J.A. Ackley
Jul 30, 2024

Steve McQueen regularly drove this Shelby 289 Cobra from 1965 to 1967. He enjoyed the experience so much that he continued driving it for several months after the new owner bought it.

This Shelby, CSX2161, retains its original body and engine. However, it received a repaint to its current colors after it was bought in 2003.

Other add-ons from that caretaker included a driver’s roll bar, 15x6.5 inch FIA Halibrand wheels, a hood scoop and chrome rear quick jacks.

Find this 1963 Shelby 289 Cobra Roadster for auction at Mecum.
