fastest 289 Shelby, was this GT 350R Cobra Mustang of Charlie Kemp, even faster than the Shelby AC Cobra 289, surprisingly... and Charlie bought it at a used car lot


a 30 over 289 was pumping out 450 horses



Charlie scored 17 consecutive wins between 1968 and 69

dry lakes racer sold to Jim Lattin, and since day one it's not been street legal, only land speed racing legal.
