Vehicle Description
A real racing motor producing 637 horsepower, a fully independent
suspension, and a shining personality mean this 1967 Shelby Cobra
by Unique Motorcars is the outstanding Cobra that you'll enjoy on
the street and at every track day.
The bold red presentation instantly makes this one an
attention-grabber. So while we know all Cobras are built for
fast-moving function, this one also has some terrific eye-candy
appeal. Of course, it also helps that there is some nice bright
work, too. Unlike other classics, the shiny stuff on this Cobra is
also about function. Places like the quick-jack bumpers, driver
roll hoop, racing gas cap, and large side pipes are all just as
much about performance as they are beauty. Those bright alloy
wheels even pay tribute to the cool Halibrand units that have been
icons for over half a century.
The people at Unique Motorcars take pride in both the body and the
interior. That's why you get the best classic competition elements
like Simpson four-point racing harness, low-back bucket seats, a
full set of Stewart Warner gauges, and a wood and chrome sports
steering wheel with the cobra emblem in the center. It is truly a
competition machine that's ready to get down to business today.
Under the hood is where the real magic of this Cobra is. This has
the tidy and clean presentation of a racing motor. You soon realize
how true it is when you read the valve covers and see this engine
was built by Ernie Elliot! After all, not only is he Bill Elliot's
brother, but also he has made his own name in the world of Ford
racing motors. Elliot's garage started with a Rousch V8 block
pulled from inventory that was used at Talladega. It was completely
rebuilt and fortified, including custom pistons, Isky roller
lifters, custom ported & machined Yates Performance heads, Clevite
bearings, custom performance camshaft, custom connecting rods, and
Manley titanium valves. In fact, there was over $18k invested in
just this true racing motor refresh! It inhales deeply through a
Quick Fuel double-pumper four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales
with a sweet thunder out of those side pipes. The full package has
been dynoed at 637 horsepower, 398 total cubic inches, and you get
full control over this huge power plant thanks to the stout Ford
Big Spline Top Loader 4-speed manual transmission. No matter if
it's the street or track, this one has all the right supporting
components, such as a fully independent suspension with Jaguar rear
end, adjustable coil overs at each wheel, and disc brakes at each
one, too.
Here's a mighty build of a cool Cobra, and it has the paperwork to
prove it, too. This includes the recipes for the racing motor, dyno
sheet, and title documentation. So if you've been looking for that
Cobra that can be used for both show and go, don't let this one
slip away. Call now!
