For sale in our Dallas/Fort Worth showroom is a 1966 Shelby Cobra
Replica. If you are looking for the most thrilling 4 wheel
experience you can get, the Cobra Roadsters are hard to beat. The
recipe is simple: lightweight fiberglass body, no frills interior,
a big displacement V8, manual transmission, and two rear tires
clinging on for dear life. The brainchild of the near mythical
Carol Shelby, the A/C Cobra's remain legends of the car world and
are some of the most replicated vehicles on the planet. This Cobra
is covered in a very cool vinyl wrap that has the look of a brushed
aluminum finish with classic dual wide blue racing stripes. The
blue stripes continue through the passenger compartment, and the
roll bar, side vents, and Halibrand style wheels are all painted
blue to match. The gray cloth interior is a subtle as a Cobra can
get, and goes well with the brushed aluminum look of the exterior.
Black side pipes top off the timeless look, and they are covered in
custom fabricated heat shields. Of course, the big question is what
kind of motor hides under that deceptively long hood. Lift the lid
and you find the beating heart of any proper Cobra build: a Big
Block Ford V8. This one in particular is a 428 with dual Holley
750cfm 4 barrel carburetors. The motor is fresh off a rebuild, and
ready to end the lives of the brand new BF Goodrich tires. All of
that power causes a lot of heat, which is why there is a new
aluminum radiator and oil cooler installed on this serpent. Putting
the power down to the ground is done via a 4 speed Toploader
transmission spinning a Ford 9in. posi rear end. Coil-over shocks
at all four corners and a Mustang II front end with rack and pinion
steering handle the twisty sections, while 4 wheel disc brakes are
ready when you inevitably find yourself going too fast. If you are
looking to get into some 4 wheeled trouble then view this vehicle
