John Speed Cobra was shipped from South Africa and was built to
look like the vintage race car that of the day! The AC Cobra was
the brain child of Carroll Shelby, a legendary race car driver of
his day, and always dreamed of the day where he could build sports
cars. In the early sixties, the perfect opportunity arose. AC Cars
from England was ceasing production of their Ace model as the
engine they used was no longer available. Carroll Shelby saw the
potential in this sleek lined sports car and the rest is history.
Due to limited production numbers, most people could not afford to
purchase the real deal or even find one for that matter, so a few
manufacturers decided to create replicas that look like the real
deal for a fraction of the price. This stunning version of a 1967
Cobra was built in 2005 and features a 351 that was built up and
punched out to a 393 CID V8 that packs a serious punch. Slotted and
crossed drilled disc brakes on all four corners. Independent rear
suspension. Hooked up behind the engine is a Tremec 5-Speed
transmission that allows excellent drivability and fun! With static
cling decals that can be removed without harming the paint. This
car was purchased, built, and maintained by the same owner for the
last 12 years and only 3,265 miles have been put on it since it was
built. When you jump inside, you will feel like you have been
transported back to the sixties and are about to set off on the
race of your life. The flat dash with simplistic gauge layout
allows the drive to carefully monitor what is happening with the
car as you are cruising. Once you get out on the open road and
start shifting through the gears you will be blown away by the
sheer power and agility of a car that was developed and raced 50
years ago. It is an absolute thrill to drive and assures there will
never be a dull moment when behind the wheel. This Cobra runs and
drives great and is ready to go to a new home where it will be
truly loved and enjoyed! If you have always wanted to own a Cobra,
