Vehicle Description
Another beautiful Basil Classic... this 1966 Superformance MKIII
Shelby Cobra with only 2,824 miles has been handpicked and meets
Joe Basil's standards of excellence and tradition of fine
automobiles since 1951. This vehicle is truly one of a kind and one
of the cleanest, most well taken care of, proper 66 Cobra kit cars
that you will find! Buy with confidence!!
This 66 Cobra is a Superformance kit car. Superformance is an
American company that specializes in engineering, designing, and
building top quality replica vehicles such as the Shelby Cobra,
GT40, Daytona Coupe, and Covette Grand Sport! Superformance is the
only replica company that was licensed to produce such vehicles and
performance parts with the permission of Carol Shelby himself!
There are a few companies that build these types of vehicles, but
that is what makes Superformance on top! They are so particular
about their product that they won't even send out a body without
having it painted themselves to ensure the best quality! With the
being said, this Cobra is finished in a stunning metallic blue
paint job with painted white stripes... arguably the best color
combo you can get! This paint has a super slick, high gloss finish
that is sure to impress! The way this paint shines in the sun is
like no other! This is a one-owner car, and the original owner is
the one who built it! He kept records throughout his 17 years of
ownership on what has been done to it and never spared an expense,
everything has been done properly! Built in 2006, this car has been
meticulously maintained and driven very sparingly as it has only
about 3,000 miles on it, which averages out to around 165 miles per
year! The exterior features a staggered set of true center lock
replica wheels wrapped in 245/60r15 tires on the front, and
295/50r16 BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires on the back to help put down
the power and to give it the great handling it does, all while
looking great and properly filling the wheel wells! The exterior
also features plenty of chrome throughout such as chrome fender
ventilation, windshield surround, side view mirror, head and
taillight bezels, windshield wipers, hardware and more! Satin black
is also scattered throughout on items such as the side pipe
exhaust, roll bar, and tow points! Leather fender covers to protect
from rock chips and a matching tonneau cover are also included! The
open grill with the exposed radiator and cooler with braded lines,
and AN fittings, looks great and is sure to grab some attention as
well! Moving on to the interior... the interior features a premium
look and feel with black vinyl bucket seats, nicely finished vinyl
door cards with storage pockets and chrome handle/ latch
mechanisms, cobra embroidered floor mats, vinyl wrapped dash with a
speedometer, RPM gauge, oil temp, water temp, voltage, fuel, and
oil pressure gauges! Other dash mounted items include a turn signal
indicator, headlight indicator and switch, fuel pump switch, blower
motor switch, headlight switch, along with knobs for cluster
lights, windshield wipers, and choke... don't forget about the
horn! A phone charging/ cigarette lighter port is also mounted to
the lower dash, and a rear-view mirror is mounted to the upper. The
leather wrapped steering wheel features chrome spokes, a black AC
center cap, and the turn signal stalk mounted to the right! Lastly,
a fire extinguisher is mounted between the seats, and this car
feels great to drive with stainless pedals, along with a chrome
shifter and parking brake lever! Under the hood of this beast is a
Ford Racing 351 Windsor crate motor rated at 385hp, paired with a
Tremec 5-speed manual transmission! And this car doesn't skip a
beat with the Holley Street Avenger 770CFM carb! This car sounds
killer and is wicked fast with all that power and its light weight!
I personally drove this vehicle for a day to car shows and it was
the best driving experiences I have ever had... The side pipe
exhaust, tight 5-speed transmission, and great handling make for a
great ride... and don't forget about all the attention tis car
brings! Road presence is like no other! This is your opportunity to
own one of the most iconic automobiles ever made! This is truly one
of the finest built examples you will find!
Just look and you can tell that this vehicle was very well cared
for by its owners and kept in show condition! When you drive this
vehicle, it has the feel that you're looking for...runs and drives
just like new! This is a no excuse vehicle. This car will make a
fine collector's piece for you and your family for years to come!
