Vehicle Description

Superformance MKIII SP01029 is one of the finest and best maintained roadsters on the market today. The stunning Titanium paint is complimented by elegant Diamond Black stripes. The car even has a fitted hardtop that was painted to match, as well as tasteful accessories such as stainless steel quick jacks, Firefly stainless exhaust with ceramic coating and a Firefly driveshaft shield.

The roadster is powered by a 520cid motor custom built by Competition Motorsports to make 587HP and an incredible 699 lbs. of torque. A polished billet air cleaner sits over the aluminum heads and Edlebrock intake manifold. Other engine goodies include an electric choke, Canton oil pan, billet water hose connections and McLeod aluminum flywheel. All of that power runs through a Tremec TKO 5-Speed manual transmission.

The car features components from Cobra Valley including front and rear adjustable sway bars and an upgraded rear shock mount, along with better rear control arm sway bar bushings.

All openings, such as engine bay, trunk, and cockpit are wrapped around steel subframe for increased strength and support.

The carpet has been protected since new with custom removable rubber molded mats and now has new Superformance floor mats.

The Superformance MKIII is a meticulously engineered and crafted reproduction of the original, built under license from Carroll Shelby Licensing Inc. No expense was spared in recreating the legendary cars, ensuring an authentic sports car experience.
