Among the rarest configurations you'll find, automatic transmission
Cobras make up only a tiny percentage of these iconic roadsters.
Emerald Green paint with tan stripes gives this 1965 Shelby Cobra
West Coast a distinct look that separates it from typical replicas.
The exterior features aluminum mirrors complementing the sleek
lines, while a double-width roll bar adds both structural support
and visual interest. The wheels measure 15" in front and 16" in
rear, wrapped with 255/60R15 front and 295/50R16 rear tires
creating a perfect stance that balances aesthetics with
traction.
Saddle brown vinyl covers the interior surfaces, creating a rich
contrast against the green exterior. The bucket seats provide
excellent support during cornering while maintaining a
period-correct appearance. A tilt wheel allows drivers of various
heights to find their ideal position. The AM/FM CD player with
cassette capability pushes audio through door-mounted speakers for
quality sound. Power steering reduces effort during parking
maneuvers and tight corners. The trunk area houses the battery for
better weight distribution and cleaner engine bay aesthetics.
The 460 V8 engine offers substantial power for this lightweight
roadster. An Edelbrock carburetor and intake manifold optimize fuel
delivery, while an aluminum radiator with dual electric fans
maintains optimal operating temperatures. The C6 3-speed automatic
transmission handles power transfer with ease, feeding into a
sturdy 9" rear axle. Suspension components include adjustable
coilovers and tubular control arms up front, with coil springs,
shocks and trailing arms in the rear. Four-wheel disc brakes
provide excellent stopping capability, and side pipes with long
tube manifolds produce a signature exhaust note.
