1965 cool Motion Perf cobra 289 story [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Rosen crossed the imaginary
line into the enemy camp-Ford. ln 1965
Motion Performance debuted its head
turning Shelby Cobra finished in Gold
Metalflake and fitted with a Rosen-built
289 cubic inch Hilborn injected small
block. The Cobra and Rosen set a num-
ber of local, regional and national drag
racing records. Prior to Rosen's pur-
chase.of the Cobra it had been a .celeb-
rity car. He bought it from controversial
disc jockey Bob Dayton whose outra-
geous comments abruptly ended his ca-
reer on New York radio.
