Vehicle Description
A seriously speedy machine with all the right thoughtful touches
and upgrades - that's why you get with this fuel-injected 1965
Shelby Cobra replica.
A Cobra is a true racing legend. Sure, the curvy silhouette came
from England, but Carroll Shelby was the one who took a light
weight runabout and gave it true aggression with fat fenders and a
mean hood scoop. You really get to see that attitude thanks to the
tight fit of a quality Factory Five body and the sunlight radiating
off the metallic blue paint. In fact, there's even protective film
over the nose, so you see even less use than already expected from
a low mileage machine. This one has some bright
competition-inspired elements like the dual racing stripes and
highly polished Halibrand-style wheels. But you'll also notice this
one has a dark side. The jack bumpers, roll hoop, and menacing side
pipes grab attention because you rarely see them finished in black
like they are here.
All those dark accents outside also coordinate very nicely with the
interior. Black seats, carpeting, dash, and even gauge faces really
continue this Cobra's aggressive dark side. But more than just look
great, they also paid attention to details. That's why you have
low-back bucket seats with four-point Simpson racing harnesses, a
rear-mounted fire extinguisher, and Cobra insignia floor mats. The
wood and chrome steering wheel is a Cobra favorite. Plus, even the
updates get the style correctly. You see this on how the newer
gearstick is still bent forward, and the full AutoMeter gauge
package still has the reversed speedometer. Not only does the
racing tonneau cover look great in black, but for those days when
you really want to show off, there's also a removable hard top that
also comes with the sale.
A new Ford 347 cubic-inch motor was part of the budget when this
was built in 2004. Not only is this a terrific fuel-injected V8,
but it's also been enhanced and fortified with ARP bolts,
aftermarket heads, MSD ignition & distributor, and an aluminum
radiator with electric fan to keep it all running cool. Those
header-fed side pipes add both power and thunder to this Cobra.
Best of all, you're in complete control over the soundtrack and the
V8's fury with the Tremec TKO500 five-speed manual transmission. In
fact, speaking of control, you also have great features like
four-wheel disc brakes, coliovers, tubular A-arm front suspension,
and a three-link rear.
Complete with build receipts and service manuals, this is the clean
and mean Cobra you've been waiting for. So don't let this deal slip
away. Call now!
