15 Dec REGGIE JACKSON’S ERA COBRA 289FIA

Baseball isn’t the only thing legend Reggie Jackson is good at — Mr. October also has fine taste in automobiles. While not an original Cobra, this 289FIA is a replica built by the consummate professionals at ERA Replica Automobiles in Connecticut. ERA makes some of the best reps in the business, and this Cobra is a perfect example of what they can do. Built in the spirit of the flyweight FIA 289 privateer racers of the ’60s, this Cobra has had a few modifications since it left Mr. Jackson’s ownership. A 351 cubic-inch V8 and a Tremec TKO five-speed manual replace the four-speed Toploader it came with, although the four-speed is included in the sale. A Yankee blue with white meatballs and Jackson’s number 44 emblazon the exterior. Inside are black leather seats and carpet instead of the bare aluminum found on the originals
