For Sale: 1965 Shelby Cobra in Volo, Illinois

Vehicle Description

Titled as a 1993 Ford ReplicaJust like the original, it has a 427 big block stuffed under the hood which gives it the raw power and roar. The quality Everett Morrison kit's biggest asset is the size. It's on a longer wheelbase and has wider foot wells making it much more comfortable, especially for bigger people. Titled as a 1993 Ford Replica.

EXTERIOR: The body is in excellent shape, no damage. The Everett Morrison is on a 96 inch wheel base which gives it longer doors for easier entry. This one was professionally repainted in 2016. Beautiful classic blue metallic with white stripes. It's smooth and glossy! Original Shelby style bumpers, taillights, roll bar, pop up gas cap and even 427 emblems. Sitting on staggered 17 inch Foose custom wheels with performance tires.

INTERIOR: The Everett Morrison gives you 2 inch wider foot boxes which makes the pedal spacing wider and much easier to operate. This interior was professionally redone recently. The interior, dash and console is black upholstery. The seats and door pockets are saddle tan and Carroll Shelby's signature is embroidered on the seats. Guess what? The seats are heated! It has a nice looking set of gauges and Shelby style wheel.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: This is why I bought this car, it has an FE big block 427 making 425 horsepower! It has a high rise aluminum intake, dual feed Holley carb, electronic ignition and a set of headers. It proudly wears Cobra valve covers and air cleaner. An electric fan helps keep it cool.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It's bigger than most and very nicely lined with carpet.

UNDERSIDE: Up front it has an independent suspension and a rack and pinion steering. In back it has tubular control arms, panhard bar and coil over adjustable shocks. Looking up at the motor it has an extra capacity finned oil pan. You will be shifting a Ford 4-speed manual transmission that looks fresh, the linkage looks new. The drive shaft goes through two safety loops back to the Ford 9 inch n rear end.

SERVICE: We inspected the car and rebuilt the carburetor, took it in for an alignment, tightened the steering column and balanced all four wheels. Replaced a dash bulb, the cup holders, temp sender and trunk latch.

Pure excitement!! The power of a 427 in a little, lightweight sports car is awesome. The sound of those pipes as your shifting the gears is guaranteed to make your bad day good!
