Carroll Shelby might roll over in his grave at the sight of a
Chevrolet-powered AC Cobra, but even he couldn't argue with the
performance and build quality of this Everett-Morrison Cobra
Replica. Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to offer this 1966
AC Cobra Replica, which is titled as a 1988 Cobra. All Cobras are
special beasts, but this build is a little more unique with its
engine and drivetrain. Under the hood is a 454 CID Big Block V8
that rumbles to life and belts out a menacing note through the side
pipes. This engine is backed by a five-speed Richmond manual
gearbox, and the independent rear suspension setup was plucked from
a C4 Corvette and features 3:10 gears. Since being built in 1988,
this car has just 11,000 miles on it, and it underwent a
significant restoration including a complete engine rebuild in 2014
with aluminum heads, Holley four-barrel carb, MSD ignition,
Edelbrock intake and a .550 lift cam. And to hammer the visual
impact of this Cobra home, it is finished with a lustrous
black-and-gold metallic paint job with polished aluminum wheels and
fake knock-offs. To keep this 1966 AC Cobra Replica looking good,
it comes with a full car cover, too. Options on this 1966 AC Cobra
Replica include power steering, seat belts, aluminum/alloy wheels
and radial tires. To see 100+ HD pictures and videos of this 1966
