Vehicle Description
1966 Ford Cobra, a custom-built masterpiece that blends classic
design with modern performance enhancements. This head-turning
vehicle boasts a sleek silver exterior accented by a bold black
stripe, riding low on a one-piece frame with a four-inch drop for
an aggressive stance. The reinforced fiberglass body is
complemented by gleaming stainless-steel side pipes, bumpers, roll
bars, and gas tank, adding both durability and a touch of timeless
elegance. Dual Talbot Berlin 300 Senior chrome mirrors enhance the
car's iconic profile, reflecting its meticulous craftsmanship.
Under the hood lies the heart of this beast: an original, rebuilt
1966 427 Ford side-oiler engine with solid lifters and just 300
miles on the clock. Built on a robust Marine Block, this powerhouse
features dual quad Holley carburetors, an Erson Cam hi-flow AM,
Cobra LeMans valve covers, a dual aluminum manifold, and Edelbrock
Performance racing heads. The engine is paired with an Edelbrock
water pump and a custom-made four-core radiator with dual electric
fans for optimal cooling. The ignition system is upgraded with an
MSD distributor coil, 6AL box, and full MSD ignition ensemble,
ensuring reliable, high-performance sparks. Power is delivered
through a Hurst Competition Plus Cobra shifter and a meticulously
engineered transmission: a 4-speed Toploader 427 Cobra (RUGAEC8
main case, C70 tailhousing) with big input gear, a 31-spline output
shaft, and 2.23 close-ratio gears. The drivetrain is completed by a
9' Ford rear end with 3.55 posi gears and 350 rear-end gears,
providing exceptional traction and control. This Cobra rides on a
sophisticated suspension with coil-over adjustable shocks and stops
confidently with four-wheel disc brakes. The custom vinyl interior
offers a blend of comfort and style, featuring bespoke seats
tailored to the driver's taste, along with a heater and defroster
for year-round enjoyment. This 1966 Ford Cobra is not just a
car-it's a rolling testament to automotive artis
