The 1966 Shelby Cobra is 'the' classic replicar. According to
records, this classic Cobra kit was manufactured by Street Beasts
of Miami, FL and assembled by a very experienced kit car builder,
ACME Car Company, New Cumberland, PA. It was completed in 2005
using 5.0 Ford drivetrain components. (The current owner has
provided all documentation/receipts for the build.) The body was
professionally finished in stunning enamel Red with grey stripes
and gold trim and is in excellent condition. The tan leather
interior is a nice representation of the original Cobra driving
compartment, but somewhat more comfortable. A full compliment of
VDO gauges is perfectly positioned in the functional dash. Each
bucket seat is equipped with a vintage-style lap belt. A period
correct Moto-Lita 14" mahogany wheel is mounted on a chrome tilt
column. Based on the original build specs, the 5.0L Ford
small-block is equipped with an Edelbrock Performer RPM II
manifold, 70mm throttle-body and Edelbrock aluminum heads. A
high-capacity aluminum radiator is fitted with an electric fan and
serpentine belts are managed by a March Billet bracket set. The
rumble from the side-pipe headers leaves no mistake that this motor
is all business. It is backed by one of the best transmission
set-ups that can be used in a Cobra kit - the Tremac TKO600 5-speed
with steel scatter shield and King Cobra clutch/pressure plate. The
chassis is equipped with power steering, power disc brakes with 9"
rotors and an aluminum fuel tank. American Racing Torque Thrust II
(14"f/15"r) mount Cooper radials. The current owner has taken good
care of this handsome Cobra and is now ready to pass it on to the
next caretaker. If you want a Cobra that you can actually drive and
enjoy, this is your car. ALL VEHICLES SOLD "AS IS".
