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.
