1966 Shelby 427 Cobra For Sale - 1 Of Approximately 16 Factory
Black Real 427 Cobras Ever Produced LMC is very proud to offer for
sale this 1966 Shelby 427 Cobra The 1965 Shelby Cobra 427
represents the absolute pinnacle of American performance
engineering in the 1960s-an uncompromising fusion of brute-force
big block power and lightweight British roadster design.
Purpose-built by Carroll Shelby to dominate both the street and the
track, the 427 Cobra remains one of the most revered and
collectible automobiles ever produced. This particular example
stands in an extraordinarily rare category, being one of
approximately only 16 factory black, real 427 Cobras ever built-an
ultra-desirable specification that dramatically elevates its
significance among even the most elite Cobras. Of the 16 Black cars
produced, this is one of approximately only 8 that has never
suffered severe trauma. Beyond its striking and seldom-seen factory
black finish, this Cobra is one of only approximately 155 true
427-powered street Cobras produced. Only 100 were delivered new
with the highly coveted dual quad carburetor setup, making this
example a standout among its peers. At its heart lies the original
427 cubic inch "center oiler" engine-an engineering marvel derived
from Ford's racing program-producing immense torque and delivering
the visceral driving experience that defines the Cobra legend.
Factory delivered with the highly sought-after dual quad induction
system, further enhancing both its performance, pedigree, and
collector desirability, representing the ultimate configuration.
Equally important is the extraordinary level of originality
retained by this example. It is equipped with its original
Toploader 4-speed manual transmission and original rear end,
components that are critical to preserving the car's authenticity
and mechanical integrity. Most notably, this Cobra retains its
original body and chassis-an exceedingly rare attribute, as many
Cobras were heavily modified, raced, damaged or re-bodied over the
decades. The survival of these core elements places this car in an
elite echelon reserved for the most untouched and historically
intact examples in existence. Fully documented and listed in the
Shelby Registry, this Cobra's provenance is unquestionable. Its
authenticity, originality, and rare factory specifications combine
to create a blue-chip collector automobile of the highest order.
The documentation not only confirms its status as a genuine 427
street Cobra, but also reinforces its place among the most
important surviving examples of the model. With its ultra-rare
factory black finish, original dual quad 427 engine, and remarkable
preservation of original components, this 1966 Shelby Cobra 427
represents a once-in-a-generation acquisition opportunity. It is a
car that transcends the traditional boundaries of
collectibility-offering not only investment-grade rarity, but also
a direct and unfiltered connection to one of the most legendary
performance machines ever created. Additional Details: 1966 SHELBY
