Shelby SuperFormance Factory Built Shelby Cobra (1966)
for sale
Price: US $49,000.00
Price: US $49,000.00
Original owner spent over $80, 000 in 1998 to factory build (not a kit) with all the best possible equipment (i.e. Halibrand mag wheels). This is a top of the line, Superformance Factory built (the only Shelby Licensed builder) Mark III Cobra.
Perfect in every way and detail. Better than a 427 side oiler unless of course
you are an absolute purist (but then you should be spending $200, 000 rather
than $60, 000).
It also comes with a Carroll Shelby signed glove box cover and a
matching CSX name plate. There’s also a photo of Carroll Shelby signing the
glove box cover that will go with the car
Note –
Excerpted
From the Superformance Factory
Web-site: “Superformance Chassis' are the
only Cobra replica's on the market that are Shelby Licensed products” (This is
important and critical to know as an aftermarket Cobra Buyer). According to
Carroll Shelby Fact is, soon as it's less than a real Cobra, not built by
me, it's counterfeit. There’s an exception when it comes to Jimmy Price and
Lance Stander from Superformance International. Superformance International makes
replica Cobra in South Africa and calls the two-seat roadster they build the
MKIII. It's still not a true Shelby, but I've endorsed and licensed the car for
being as close to correct and well-built as possible. I can't say the same for
others.
This car is a Superformance
beauty (and major muscle car) in every way and more than a pleasure to
drive. Easy to drive, fast of course and
sounds awesome. Easily insurable with the 302 V-8 Vs the 427 (My annual
insurance rate for full coverage is less than $300), and literally this car has
been maintenance free for me. An oil change annually and that’s it! Did all the Lights and smog items required
for California registration back in 2006, so I’m certain no matter where this
car ends up, you’ll not have any registration issues.
In reality, this is as close
as you can get to a real Shelby Cobra as you’ll ever get without spending $200
Grand to get one! And you won’t be afraid to take this one out and drive it!
The frame and suspension are pure Shelby. You’ll never feel second-class even when attending Cobra rally’s. This
is a perfectly built machine that drives and handles like a true racing sports
car (better than one friends BMW and another’s Porsche [their words not mine –
no offense meant to those BMW and Porsche fanatics out there, and yes, I know
I’ll get some blow-back on this statement).
