For Sale: 2001 Shelby Cobra in Mesa, Arizona

Vehicle Description

Few cars in the history of the autoverse elicit as many fantasies from enthusiasts as the Shelby Cobra. Although the original car has long since ceased production, thankfully, incredible replicas are still being made today, such as this 2001 Shelby Cobra Factory Five. Painted in a beautifully classic Le Mans blue and white color scheme, this car resembles the original but offers some welcome modern features under its skin.

Inside, the black vinyl seats and dashboard are contrasted by a wood-rimmed, power-assisted, three-spoke steering wheel. A trick offset black-faced gauge cluster, featuring an 8,000 rpm tachometer and signature 180 mph reverse speedometer, broadcasts only the most essential information to the driver. Racing harnesses and a fire extinguisher mounted between the seats are to be considered essential amenities when approaching a race car for the street, like this Cobra.

Under the reverse-hinged hood, we find a 408 cubic-inch overhead valve V-8 engine. Beneath the Cobra embossed air cleaner and valve covers lies a Sniper electronic fuel injection system that feeds that V-8 before sending out spent exhaust gases through a set of long tube headers connected to those incredible-sounding side pipes. That classic power is then sent through an authentic Borg-Warner T5 five-speed manual transmission, allowing you to experience this Cobra as it was meant to be.
