Factory Five Mark 3 Shelby Cobra
Cobra is owned by an avid enthusiast and is the
recipient of a $10, 000 repaint which was completed about 2 months ago. The body panel gap is better than new. The panels are straight and flat. The black paint looks like it is two miles
deep. The only issue is the windshield
cracked while I was driving to the photo shoot. I will be replacing it with a new Factory Five piece if I have a sale
price that I am happy with.
I will go into greater detail about the condition of
each section of the car below, but please look at the pictures closely.
Body
and Paint
: The car has
not been in any accident. The paint that
was done during the original construction was fading badly. The factory 5 Mark 3 cobra has some inherent
short coming where is comes to fit and finish as well as the mounting of the
body. When we did the body we replaced
all of the body screws on the lower edge of the body with stainless Allen
bolts. We also addressed the lack of
bracing under the hood with new fabricated braces. The fit and finish is very nice. The body lines are straight and
consistent. The doors, and truck open
nicely. The hood is a lift off as it was
when it was new. The black paint and grey stripes are done with Chemspec
Metalux paint which is a very high cost paint product. I photographed
this car in all types of light but, pictures just can’t capture the depth of
the black paint.
Interior:
The black interior is in excellent condition including the original Cobra style
gauges including the reverse speedo. In
the pictures the lock covers are not installed. I had greased the locks. The
chrome covers are new and have been installed. The shifter is the correct
“angled forward” big block style.
Motor
and Transmission, and Rear End:
The drive train is a 5.0 from a 1998 Mustang
GT. I do not know the miles on the donor
car, but in this chassis the car has accumulated about 3333 miles. There is a large aluminum radiator that does
keep it cool in the Arizona heat. The
car has power steering, and manual brakes. I have recently had the fuel injection dialed in by a highly respected
shop here in phoenix named Bob Rheem at Imagine Injection. The motor is very strong with no leaks and
great power. I believe the motor to be
stock. I believe the transmission also
came from the same 1998 Mustang. It is a
T5. The clutch is firm and feels to have
little wear. The rear end is built with
YuCon Gear posi and axles. There is no
wining or humming in the rear end.
Chassis, Tires and Wheels:
As
per the pictures the chassis was assembled very nicely. The stainless steel under the car is clean
and is in excellent shape. All of the
rubber bushing look new. The car does
not creak or made off noises as many of the older Cobra kits do. The wheels are
Torque Thrust II type with Shelby center cabs. The tires are older BFG comp ta’s. The tires have great tread, but could be 10 years old. They are not dry rotted, and they are still
very soft when driving. The suspension
has adjustable Bilstein coil over shocks in front. The upper and lower control arms are
adjustable.
The condition and drivability of this Cobra is very
nice. I would encourage anyone
interested to please call me with arrange an inspection.
