This 1965 Shelby Cobra is a bolt of orange lightning channeling the
spirit of Ken Miles with its blend of vintage racer and modern
street machine. With a stunning copper paint job accented by cream
and silver stripes, fat tires tucked under those bulging fenders,
and dual roll bars, this backdraft has a look of its own. The
perfect finishing touches are those simulated knock-off wheels and
the billet gas cap. It's a Cobra that stands out from the crowd and
will grab some attention in the following cars and coffee!
Slip inside, and the tan leather seats beg you to go for a cruise.
Settle into the buckets with their racing harnesses holding you
snug, wrap your hand around that floor shifter (angled just right,
like a real Cobra should be!), and fire it up. The Speedo might be
reversed for a little race-day flair, but otherwise, it's a pure,
comfortable sports car here. Keep an eye out for the fuel pump and
fan switches tucked away - just a quick flick puts everything at
your fingertips. Besides the visceral sounds and experience of
being in a street-legal, track-devouring nod to a legendary car,
you'll notice you have a little more legroom than other Cobra
experienced. This one has an extended chassis, allowing taller
individuals to experience the greatness these cars can offer
comfortably.
Speaking of fire, this Cobra doesn't mess around. It's got a Ford
392 stroker V8 growling through those side pipes - that's way more
punch than the originals ever had! That 5-speed manual transmission
lets you row through the gears, backed by a 3.46 limited-slip rear
axle for serious grip. Coilovers up front and a trailing arm
suspension in the rear will handle modern roads without sacrificing
that classic Cobra feel. And when you need to slow down, power disc
brakes get the job done. With long tube manifolds feeding those
side pipes, this Cobra isn't just about looks - it'll deliver
thrills on any backroad.
