Vehicle Description
This 1985 Shelby Cobra has plenty of unique and desirable touches.
After all, it has a well-coordinated color package, an automatic
transmission, and a thumping big block under the hood. So dig into
the details on a car that's quite interesting.
This car has all the right standard Cobra features you love, like
the widely flared fenders, hood scoop, push bumpers, and growling
side pipes. But there's plenty of uniqueness on display here, too.
After all, we rarely see these presented in a color like Apricot
Peach. But when you see it, you also understand why this was
chosen. It gives the racing stripes a subtle elegance, and the
color is in harmony with the golden fields that are the background
of California's race tracks. In fact, Cali seems to be in this
one's blood. It was manufactured by Custom Engineering in
California, and it has the right look of a Pacific Coast Roadster.
There are even cool details, like how the wheels are color-matched
to the body, and this one utilizes a wide roll hoop instead of two
individual ones. So while you may want to personalize or repaint
this one, it's already quite unique.
The 1985 designation in the title centers around the build date,
and the interior reflects a bit of that. After all, most of the
more recent builds use black vinyl instead of brown, and they don't
complete it to quite this level. So you have something that's
distinct and more comfortable. The bucket seats have better
bolstering and a nice low angle, the doors are fully upholstered,
and there are handy map pockets everywhere. In fact, this also
comes with features you don't find on others, like a soft top and
the wiring for a stereo. But what you never lose is that
driver-focused Cobra feeling. Deist racing harnesses, a B&M
shifter, a grippy sports steering wheel, and a dash dominated by
your gauges are all pure sports car fun.
You'll love lifting the hood to show off the tidy big block power.
The long Cobra air topper looks great in blue, and those Cobra
valve covers correctly announce you have the mighty 429 motor
within. It's built well with a Holley four-barrel carburetor,
Mallory ignition, and steel braided lines. And those headers add
power and thunder as they feed the side pipes. The C6 three-speed
automatic transmissions is a stout unit that can handle all this
extra power and torque. Plus, you've got a strong Ford 9-inch rear,
front disc brakes, power steering, and wide BF Goodrich T/As.
This is the unique classic build that has a ferocious big block
heart. So don't miss something this distinct and powerful. Call
