Vehicle Description
Iconic looks meet with tons of recent investment and serious V8
power to deliver an exceptionally distinct and speedy 1966 Shelby
Cobra.
Everett-Morrison is an OEM manufacturer, which means they know how
to build a quality body and chassis. That's why this one makes an
impressive first impression. The classic curves of the Cobra body
are crisp; the fenders have an aggressive flair; and the doors,
hood, and trunk have an excellent fit. It all looks great wrapped
in a glossy red with full-length white racing stripes. This gets
all the vintage Cobra details right, like the hood scoop, roll
hoop, racing gas cap, and even new Halibrand wheels with knock-off
hubs. But as you look at the front end, those modern headlights
with selectable LED halos tell you someone made an extra investment
in this car.
The tan color has the look of a luxury machine. Plus, the plush
carpeting, well-bolstered seats, AM/FM/CD stereo w/iPod hookup make
this a comfortable Cobra. Air conditioning can be right around the
corner for the new owner since the components are in place, but it
needs to be routed to the interior. Even with these amenities, this
never loses the race-ready Cobra attitudes. You get five-point
racing harnesses, a wood and chrome steering wheel, and a dashboard
full of flip cover toggle switches and Stewart Warner gauges. If
you like the look of the tan inside, then you'll be pleased with
the color of the full convertible top and side curtains. And when
you want to keep the whole car secure from the weather, there's
custom storm-proof car cover that comes with the sale.
You'll proudly lift the hood on this Cobra where you park it. The
polished components, tidy setup, and well-matched ribbed valve
covers and air topper are a great way to showcase this V8. While
this is show-ready, what you really love about a Cobra is the
power. This is a 347 cubic-inch stroker motor, and the low mileage
on the car represents how little it has gone since it was
completely rebuilt in 2017 by Carolina Rod Shop. It has been
enhanced and fortified with a Street Demon 625 CFM polymer
four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock Performer intake, Lunati Thumper
cams, new MSD Ignition, new aluminum radiator, and more. Plus, it
exhales with thunderous authority as custom headers from Carolina
Rod Shop feed side pipes from Shell Valley. To keep this strong and
precise, there is a new four-speed AOD automatic built by Action
Automotive - it was installed in 2018 and includes a 3 year, 100k
mile warranty. This feeds a strong Ford 9-inch rear that was
rebuilt in 2017. More investments include new power steering rack
and bushings up front. In that rear is a strong tubular trailing
arm setup with new QA1 adjustable coilovers. Plus, there are
Wilwood drilled and slotted disc brakes behind each wheel.
There are plenty more investments in this build, so call us for all
the details. But you already know this one has the looks and
investments to be the one you've been waiting for. Call now!
