Vehicle Description
As the oldest, factory-authorized Shelby Cobra dealer in North
America, we've seen a lot of original Continuation Series and
replica Cobras over the years. This stunning '65 Cobra replica is
one of the nicest we've seen. It was sparingly driven (to car shows
and on the occasional weekend cruise) so it has only about 1,700
miles on the odometer.Unlike the majority of home-built kit cars,
this one was professionally built by renowned Cobra specialist and
constructor Gordon Levy of Levy Racing in Tempe, Arizona. This 1965
Shelby Cobra is a perfect example of Levy Racing's work - a show
quality Cobra replica, with street performance impressive to anyone
fortunate enough to sit behind the wheel. The powertrain is a
perfect match for the car, provides exceptional performance and
delivers it with a "delicious" exhaust note. The
engine was completely rebuilt using a '91 Mustang GT 302 C. I.
block with a Powerdyne supercharger, Trick Flow aluminum heads, MSD
distributor, Accel race spark plug wires and billet aluminum
accessory drive. It delivers 475 horsepower, and is mated with a 5
speed Tremec T-5 transmission. Power to the pavement goes through a
3:55 to 1 posi-trac differential. The combination of a 5 speed
transmission and 3:55 rear end ratio delivers blazing fast
acceleration and a comfortable 2,700 RPM cruise speed on the
highway - the best of both worlds!The paint is show quality Viper
Blue with white Le Mans stripes. The interior is leather and the
dash contains AutoMeter gauges for accurate performance data. If
you're considering a Cobra replica here's a chance to own one that
looks and feels like the original, for a fraction of the cost! This
1965 Shelby Cobra replica is located in Dallas, TX and available
for inspection....
