Description:

1966 Shelby Cobra -
West Coast 427 'Stallion-style' Cobra. Built in 1991-1994.
Harley Davidson Birch White/Buckskin.
Red team stripes. West Coast Cobras are recognized as “the big man’s Cobra”; providing more comfort and legroom in the cockpit (6 inches longer, 4 inches wider than standard), gran prix driving comfort and road handling stability. This car was designed from the ground up to provide perfect 50-50% front/rear weight balance with a big block motor. The tremendously rigid TIG-welded tubular steel space frame has a monocoque backbone providing torsional stiffness while maintaining safety energy zones of controlled penetration. The ¼” single-piece fiberglass construction of the main body along with the double-walled doors, hood and trunk provide superior strength yet lighter weight. Additional driver and passenger safety features include a FULL roll bar that integrates directly into the frame, double wall construction throughout the tunnel and firewall, a substantial steel subframe within the doors designed to minimize side crash impacts, and a custom aluminum fuel cell safely isolated from potential collision.
