Does life get any better than a red sports car and an open road? There's a quick way to find out, and that would be to add this Superformance Cobra MKIII to your garage. This Shelby Licensed 427 S/C Cobra is a visual supernova with its Monza Red paint accented by Dark Silver LeMans Stripes, Black pin stripes, and a Shelby badge kit. A clear nose bra protects the finish for years to come. Classic S/C equipment includes the polished stainless steel roll bar and quick jacks, functional hood scoop, and side-exit exhaust pipes.

A great sports car needs a great engine, and this MKIII has it in the form of a Roush 427SR rated at 513 horsepower and 521 ft-lbs of torque. Underhood detailing includes a polished stainless steel surge tank and silver ceramic headers. The powerful V8 is mated to a Tremec TKO 600 5-speed manual transmission for maximum driving satisfaction. To keep the car planted during spirited drives, the 17-inch, grey-center Halibrand-style wheels with knockoff spinners have been mounted with new Nitto NT555 G2 tires.

The interior of this Stunning Cobra features all black leather seats, a leather steering wheel, and Cobra logo floor mats. A coveted detail is the Carroll Shelby autographed sun visor. The car comes with soft top, side curtains, and a kill switch.
