This 1965 Shelby Cobra replica is a bit more distinctive than most. More than just some standout exterior details, this one is hiding some serious Chevy big block performance under the hood. So if you believe there's no replacement for displacement, this affordable Cobra is definitely your thing.
The body lines are instantly recognizable. The ultra wide flared fenders, low front end, hood scoop, and sleek rounded rear are all part of the iconic Cobra package. Dark blue with dual silver stripes makes for an iconic presentation in a high-gloss finish. We even love the American-style flare of the bright push bumpers, single roll hoop, and 15-inch chrome wheels with spinner center caps. But then as you start to notice the little details like the modern fog light and extra large side pipes, you get the feeling like there is something extra special about this one... and you'd be quite right.
The silver stripes of the exterior blend nicely with the silver on the seats and door panels to create a great looking package that gives this roadster some extra flair. Plus, you get all the right driving equipment like the full classic gauge panel, on-board fire extinguisher, heat/defrost, and a racing fuel cell in the trunk. There is even a classic Moto-Lita steering wheel with Cobra center cap.
When you lift the hood on this one, you see the unmistakable power of a Chevy big block V8. While the badging on the side says 427, you're really running massive 454 cubic-inch power. It looks great in the engine bay with the exterior-matching valve covers, machine-turned alloy panels, long bright air topper, and the fortified components like the steel-braided hoses and upgraded pulleys with serpentine belts. This big block has also been upgraded to be a true performer. It has dual Holley four-barrel carburetors, an Edelbrock Torker 2.0 intake, aluminum radiator w/electric fan, and headers that feed those thunderous side pipes. So you're running seriously muscular Cobra. And those who know how stout the TH400 three-speed automatic transmissions are know that it can handle all this extra power and torque. Plus, you've got great performance features like a Mustang II-style front suspension, four-link rear end, adjustable coil overs at every wheel, and four-wheel disc brakes.
Complete with car cover, this is a powerful and interesting Cobra for an irresistible price. So don't miss out on this one. Call now!
