If you're going to do a Cobra Replica you may as well do it
correctly. This 1966 Cobra carriage #CCX-3-3G4G built with all the
correct parts. With the thundering 428 big block under the hood
with medium rise roller rocker cobra jet heads (medium rise), and
10 to one compression - bored out 30 over, fuel injection throttle
body FITeck polished, aluminum Water Pump, aluminum Radiator and
oil collier, ceramic coated exhaust & headers and pipes. Aluminum
oil pan, and billet proof shatter shield to name a few. It's as
close to the original as you'll get for under half-million dollars.
You want the exact Cobra shape? This is it, unaltered for comfort
or convenience. It is fiberglass, which is why it is affordable,
but the finish quality makes it look like the aluminum body,
without rapping your knuckles on the side. The red paint with the
pearl white strips is pure magic a must see. It's exactly the way
Shelby was building them five decades ago, with bumpers, small tail
lights, and an oil cooler up front all OEM. The windshield, wind
wings, and side mirror are correct OEM, the roll bar is brilliantly
plated, and side pipes are just the way they are supposed to be.
The low backed leather buckets are also exactly the way they were
in the 60's, and despite their rather ancient design, they are
comfortable and supportive, although you'll appreciate the belts
that help hold you in place with the cornering forces this car can
generate. A gorgeous wood-rimmed wheel is OEM also, the dash is
full of Smith instruments. The forward-canted shifter is still
borrowed from a Mustang, with the top loader four-speed unit, so
this gal has legs!! The trunk is fitted with original carpeting, as
well as rear-mounted battery, as well as a 16 gallon fuel tank
underneath. There's also a handy convertible top (Black) , also it
makes about 595 hp and around 525 ft. pounds of torque, which is
more than any vintage 428 managed (10-1 comp) and 30 over boring,
and roller rockers. The suspension is all-independent on 4"
round-tube steel frame chassis, with a-arms, and coil-overs and a
watts link rear, it's full race suspension ,and pose rear (355),
vintage pin drive hubs, with Hillibrand looking 16" wheels and 200
mph tires and OEM knock-offs , so it looks totally authentic. Also
includes knock off hammer. This is an exceptional snake that's sure
to be a smart investment. Shelby did make a few 427 Cobras with 428
cu in big blocks in them . You'll not be sorry buying this COBRA at
all.
