Vehicle Description
Sometimes it feels so good to be the villain. After all, a 1966
Shelby Cobra replica already has an intimidating look. But when you
add the full blackout color theme, this sharp-looking and
sharp-driving V8 classic really knows how to be the aggressor.
When black is done to this level there's a big attraction. The
darkness means it's intimidating and the high gloss means it's
sophisticated. And so you'll love the way the light dances off the
curvaceous body as it highlights the aggressively flared fenders,
large hood scoop, and all the other curves you love on an iconic
Cobra. We are told the consignor completed the car in 2008, and
while there's only a low 18k miles on this build, proper care means
the impression is even fresher than that! And this level of respect
is also seen in how the panels are well aligned and the shine of
the chrome. In fact, all this darkness is contrasted nicely with
nice brightwork elements like the racing bumpers, roll loop, and
the growling side exhaust pipes. And you especially take note of
the 15-inch wheels that help bring the darkness and chrome themes
together.
The full midnight presentation continues inside with a pristine
black interior. But more than just looking great, they also paid
attention to details. That's why you have low-back bucket seats
with racing harnesses, a fire extinguisher mounted on the rear
panel, and the gearstick is correctly tilted forward. The wood and
chrome steering wheel is a Cobra favorite, and beyond that, there's
a full set of VDO gauges keeping you fully informed.
The engine bay has the right Cobra look with the long air topper.
But what you'll really love is the power this is making. It's a
Ford 400 cubic-inch V8, and the specs include that it has been
bored .030 over. The consignor also states It has also been
fortified and enhanced with Speedpro forged pistons, a Ford
Motorsports cam, 4V heads, Crane roller rockers, and Rhodes
lifters. It inhales deploy with a Holley four-barrel carburetor and
an Edelbrock intake. It also has good supporting components like a
Mallory ignition system and an aluminum radiator and electric fans.
The long tube headers allow this to exhale with added power and
authority as they feed the rumbling side pipes. You get full
control over this V8 thanks to a four-speed manual transmission
with Centerforce Clutch. And this whole package is ready for the
track thanks to the strong boxed steel frame, tubular A-arm front
end, four-link rear, and adjustable coilovers at each wheel. Plus,
with four-wheel disc brakes and wide BF Goodrich T/As, stopping
power is well in-hand.
The sale comes with an extensive file of build receipts and
maintenance records. It all adds up to one very mean all-black
machine with a very nice level of care. So if you like to have a
sinister side, call today!
