A Shelby Cobra Dragonsnake has been pulled out of the barn, probably the last forgotten Cobra Dragonsnake we'll hear of





The last factory built Dragonsnake to be a barn find, spent the last 30 years in a garage in Anaheim. It was raced at Monterey in 1974, then stored away... and the owner just left it alone.

It's one of 2 factory built with the 325 hp Stage III d Competition 289's. Only 6 DragonSnakes were built
