Gateway Classic Cars of Scottsdale is proud to offer this 1965
Cobra 427 replica in our Scottsdale, AZ showroom. This sweet little
Cobra is based on a "Factory Five" body and componentry and uses a
pre-1996 Ford Mustang 5.0 / 5 spd manual transmission / 8.8 rear
axle to motivate this beautiful snake down the road. This makes
reliability and parts availability non-issues. The engine was
donated by a 1992 Mustang Cobra and has been up-graded with a
Powerdyne supercharger. The exhaust gases are efficiently purged
through the Jet-coated side exhaust. You can't see it but it
performs a vital role in getting the power from the T-5 tranny to
the rear axle - a balanced custom driveshaft. Inside the cockpit,
the first thing anyone who knows performance cars will notice is
the short-throw factory five speed shifter. A wood steering wheel
negotiates the turns the driver commands, factory-style seats keep
the driver and passenger firmly planted inside, and the full
AutoMeter gauge set keeps tabs on all of the car's vitals. This car
is a whole lot of fun! With the blower and stout drivetrain between
the rails, this replica Cobra probably runs as well as any small
block Cobra did "back in the day". To see 100-plus pictures and a
