Vehicle Description
Historically, Cobras were built with a singular focus. They were
designed to get around a track as fast as possible without breaking
anything in the process. But, as the Greek philosopher Heraclitus
once said, "Everything changes, and nothing stands still". These
days, Cobras have evolved to not only be great track cars, but also
great investments, storied show cars and exceptionally fun
cruisers. Speaking of fun, show worthy classics that can still kick
asphalt at the track, check out this fully sorted, one-owner
Superformance Mk III. Since you can already see the car's charming
aesthetics, and you already know that Superformance builds the only
Shelby-licensed Cobra replica on the market, the show and go parts
of the equation are obvious. What isn't so obvious is 511 cubic
inches of professionally built Shelby V8, a tough Tremec 5-speed
and $24,475 worth of Voss Performance upgrades that make the car an
excellent companion for cruising. Looking for a top-notch Cobra
that's ready to rock and roll? Look no further than this little
piece of Guardsman Blue glory!
SUPERPEARANCE
Superformance has always prided themselves in providing exceptional
re-creations of exceptional classics. The firm's GT40 replicas are
so accurate that, in addition to being legally allowed to use the
GT40 name, they're eligible for inclusion in the official GT40
Registry. Naturally, that same mindset applies to the firm's Mk II
and Mk III roadsters. This Mk III's sublime body utilizes high
quality, hand-laminated fiberglass to create a rock-solid drop-top
that provides a first-rate driving experience. Those stiffly
reinforced panels reflect ceramic-coated Guardsman Blue 2-stage
under silky Wimbledon White stripes. And overall, this Shelby's
timeless combination of killer style, serious performance and
contemporary build techniques creates an irresistible curve carver
that'll keep onlookers marveling!
Traditional pigment is only part of this beast's uncanny allure.
The car's acute build, supplemented with $24,475 worth of upgrades
from Placentia, California's Voss Performance, simply nails the
details! Up front, a polished Nudge Bar protects silver grilles,
clear parking lamps and stainless-trimmed halogen headlights. A
small hood anchors an integrated scoop in front of locking latches,
polished wipers and a stainless-trimmed windscreen that's dressed
in tinted visors and clear wings. Behind that screen, a tight
tonneau stretches between polished mirrors and a polished roll bar.
Those bullet-style mirrors reflect stainless Firefly Performance
side-pipes, which, were it not for their professional
ceramic-coating, would reflect polished heat extractors, colorful
Cobra emblems and Voss-installed quarter chaps. And at the back of
the car, a Cobra-branded trunk locks between traditional
taillights, a polished, Monza-style fuel filler and a polished oval
bumper.
SHELBY POWER
Tilt this roadster's lightweight hood and you'll find 511 cubic
inches of proven Shelby heat that twists 598 dyno-proven horsepower
into 610 lb./ft. of blur-inducing torque! At the top of the alloy
engine, eight polished stacks make excellent use of FAST electronic
fuel injection. Those stacks feed a polished intake, which is
bolted to lightweight aluminum heads that are dressed in
traditional Cobra Le Mans valve covers. Opposite those lids, a Comp
hydraulic roller cam spins between H-beam rods, Diamond Racing
pistons and a forged 4340 crank. Fire is provided by an MSD Blaster
SS coil, which is connected to a hot MSD distributor and loomed MSD
Super Conductor plug wires. Cooling comes courtesy of a polished
Edelbrock water pump, which, with the help of a beefy radiator,
circulates water around a polished expansion tank and four electric
fans. Ceramic-coated headers jettison spent gases in to 2.5-inch
side-pipes. And at the front of the block, polished Concept One
pulleys front a polished Powermaster alternator. Aesthetically, the
big mill, professionally assembled by Craft Performance Engines of
Arkadelphia, Arkansas, looks right at home against a polished
firewall. And well-planned details, like stainless guards, braided
fluid lines and polished Wilwood brake reservoirs, are both
functional and appealing.
CLEAN AND CAPABLE
Fully sorted and ready to roll, this roadster's Superformance heavy
wall Jig-welded frame and fully independent suspension are primed
for cruising or sprinting. The big engine spins its big power
through a Quick Time-cased Tremec TKO600 5-speed, which makes
excellent use of brass synchros, carbon fiber lining, a bronze
shift fork pad and a tough McLeod flywheel. Turns come courtesy of
power rack-and-pinion steering. Solid stops are provided by
power-assisted Wilwood calipers, which clamp four vented discs.
Torque meets the tarmac through attractive knock-offs, which twist
Goodyear-stenciled Avons to the tune of 245/60R15 and 295/50R15.
And details like a removable crossmember, a Moroso deep-sump oil
pan and custom Voss sway bars round out an otherwise impressive
build.
LEATHER AND FRESH AIR
Cobra interiors have always been stylish and simple, and one look
inside this roadster reveals just how serious the car's aspirations
are when it comes to being driver-focused. Leather-wrapped buckets
stretch tight hides under sturdy Crow Enterprizes belts. In front
of those seats, a leather-wrapped dash hangs a clean combination of
Smiths and Lucas telemetry between a locking glovebox and metal
"AC" foot pedals. Below that dash, clean carpet centers a billet
shifter between a polished fire extinguisher, a polished handbrake
and colorful, Cobra-themed floor mats. The driver spins a polished
and leather-wrapped steering wheel. And the passengers stow cargo
in a fully finished trunk.
A track-bred Cobra that's civil enough to parade down Main Street,
who says you can't have your cake and eat it too? Don't miss your
opportunity to own this spectacular Superformance roadster!
