For Sale: 1996 Excalibur Cobra in St. Louis, Missouri

Vehicle Description

Introducing a true unicorn in the world of collector cars-a 1996 Excalibur Cobra, a factory-built masterpiece with a story as wild as its stance. This isn't some backyard kit car or garage-built clone. This machine was purpose-built by the Excalibur Corporation in Michigan, officially sanctioned by Carroll Shelby himself as a replica of his legendary 1966 Cobra. And for the man it was created for? None other than Ambassador Antonio Deinde Fernandez-the Nigerian billionaire, global diplomat, and personal friend of George Bush and Nelson Mandela.

To build a car worthy of someone who lived that large, Excalibur went all-in. They didn't just assemble another Cobra-they engineered a one-of-one factory-stretched 102.5-inch wheelbase version to comfortably fit the Ambassador's towering 6'7" frame. This is the only stretched Cobra Excalibur ever produced out of roughly 175 manufactured. Lower center of gravity. Longer stance. More presence. More attitude. This isn't just rare-it's historically significant iron.

The exterior is finished in a stunning, head-turning Gold Metallic, giving the car a regal, almost royal visual signature. Paired with a rich brown leather interior, the cabin feels more like a luxury lounge than a raw track weapon. The fit, finish, stitching, and materials are far sharper than anything you'll find in a typical Cobra replica-this is why Excalibur Cobras earned the nickname "The Gentleman's Cobra."

But don't get it twisted-this ride has teeth.

Under the hood sits a 5.0L High-Output 302 V8, delivering a smooth yet confident powerband that pairs perfectly with its AOD automatic transmission. Whether you're ripping down the highway or taking it easy through town, this Cobra is built to glide with authority. The coilover front suspension and 4-link rear setup give it a planted, controlled feel that blows most replicas out of the water.

Comfort and drivability were clearly top priorities for the Ambassador's custom order. This Cobra comes equipped with air conditioning, power steering, power brakes, and radial tires to make every mile effortless. Aluminum wheels round out the stance with style and performance. Inside, an AM/FM radio, cassette player, and a trunk-mounted CD changer keep your soundtrack classic-and period-correct.

Safety features include seatbelts for all passengers, plus a tilt steering wheel so drivers of any size can get behind the wheel comfortably-further proof this car was built with intention, not imitation.

From the paint to the history to the handcrafted build quality, this 1996 Excalibur Cobra is a living piece of automotive art. It's rare, it's loaded, and it carries a pedigree and presence you will not find anywhere else.

A true gentleman's weapon-with a billionaire's backstory and a Cobra's bite.
