one'? I 'rev 'n rumble' her and proclaim, 'It doesn't get any more
real than that'.... �€" Doug Tally, Cobra replica owner ...a Cobra
replica allows many the opportunity to own their dream car. Whether
you lusted for the originals as a kid in the '60s, or fell in love
with the Cobra shape in the '90s, a Cobra kit... is your most
accessible route to the Cobra experience. There's also plenty of
history to relish in when you consider the chicken farmer's
triumphs with the original Cobras and Daytona Coupes. Heroes like
Ken Miles, Bob Bondurant, Dan Gurney and countless others
accomplished feats behind the wheel of these cars that rival
fiction and brought the U.S. to the forefront of international
competition. �€" Dean Larson, Rare Car Network, October 2018
Offered here is a 1966 Shelby Cobra replica in gunmetal gray
metallic with twin charcoal black racing stripes. Created beginning
with a Hunter (of Florida) kit, the car was professionally
hand-built in 2005 with full component customization and given a
Michigan Assembled Identification Number. The car is 100%
street-legal and very much trackable; it has dynoed at 525
horsepower. The odometer currently registers 1,670 miles since its
creation. The measure of any Shelby Cobra replica can only be fully
taken by an appreciation of the details of the specific build. In
that context, consider these components: - Hand-built tubular frame
- Ford 429-cubic-inch D1ve block - Full roller valve train - 10.5:1
Compression bored over - Edelbrock® Performer RPM aluminum heads -

transmission - Hydraulic racing clutch - Ford 9-inch narrowed rear

coat/clearcoat The exterior finish on the Cobra is exceptional:
perfectly glossy, smooth-as-glass, with racing stripes flawlessly
incorporated. The two colors offer the perfect, subtle hint of
contrast to one another. All chrome-including bumper bars, light
trim, side-exhaust pipes, windshield surround, and 3-point roll
bar-is in excellent condition, as is the brushed-metal trim on the
front fender vents and racing side mirrors. (Both side-exhaust
pipes show minor indentations.) A custom Cobra 429 emblem graces
the fenders. Torque Thrust® 15-inch polished-aluminum wheels are
mounted with BFGoodrich® Radial T
