for sale
Price: US $500.00
Price: US $500.00
This is a VERY HIGH DOLLAR car, with no
expense spared, this Cobra is basically new with just over 600 miles and it is
amazing!!! This is not your cheap kit car made with replica parts.
First of all the car is titled as a 1966
Shelby not as a later model replica, very important to know that.
The body by Classic Roadsters is extremely
nice, thick with perfect door / hood / trunk and fender well gaps. The body is
6” longer than stock allowing for a larger person to sit comfortably and 4”
wider in the rear to keep the massive tires under the fenders. The frame is
powder coated square tubing, rear suspension includes Winters rearend with
posi-traction, 4 link adjustable linkage, adjustable NASCAR style springs, front suspension is an independent race version of the Mustang II design. Wilwood
“Hat” type disc brakes on all 4 corners with a dual stage master cylinder and
power brake booster. Massive 295/50R 15 tires in the rear and 236/50R 15 in the
front. The complete car is wired in color coded wiring wrapped in heat
resistant nylon jacketing throughout the complete car, very high dollar.
The engine is a VERY well built 351 with
aluminum heads, intake, and Holly carburetor. MSD ignition and ceramic coated
exhaust system mounted in high intensity urethane grommets helps eliminate any
vibration, the steer wheel remains perfectly calm when the car is at an idle
even though the exhaust sounds like the bully on the block. Behind the engine
is a close ratio new 5 speed Tremec transmission with an overdrive of .64 to 1
giving it excellent highway cruising of 70 mph at 2, 000 rpm even though the
rear end houses 4.10 gears. This car gets to 100 mph in a blink of an eye but
yet is very driveable on the street. The cooling system includes a heavy duty
aluminum radiator with both thermostat and manually controlled electric fan
with shroud, this car does not over heat.
The interior is made up of carpet
throughout including a finished trunk, leather seats, chrome tilt steering
column, burl wood style dash with Autometer gauges. Simpson racing belts are
provided for both the driver and passenger and a chrome single roll bar that is
easily removable finished off in stainless trim provide that racing look. The
doors are opened via electric solenoids for easy in and out and the stereo is
of very high quality and can easily be clearly heard while driving down the
highway. The paint is a two stage system, racing yellow with white rally
stripes, this car is a definite eye catcher both visually and by the
sound.
I have had and seen many Cobra replicas
over the years, this is by far the best one that I have ever owned or seen for
that matter. There has been absolutely no money spared on the construction of
this amazing car, I can honestly say that it does exhibit the historic Cobra of
days gone by with the absolute aggressive look and sound, but it is without
question so much easier to drive. I am 6’5” and fit comfortably with plenty of
leg room. I do not fit in an original Cobra or other replicas.
Either cruising down
the road or on the track this car is impressive. When you own this car be
prepared for 15 minutes of question answering and photo taking by curious on
lookers when you stop. This car is a flying bullet, everything about this car
WILL exceed your expectations!
