Vehicle Description
This is a quality build from a quality body in a thoughtful color
combination. That's the appeal this 1965 Shelby Cobra replica has
even before you check out the performance-built 375hp V8 or the
exceptional price.
This is a Factory Five body, and those in the know understand they
exhibit what quality means. And best of all, there's only about
7,000 miles since this car was built from scratch. And while the
body may be iconic, the color scheme is something most people
haven't seen before. Traditionally chrome details like the like the
roll hoop and jacking stubs are a glossy black on this Cobra. Even
the striping package gets in on this dark appearance. Then again,
this one doesn't need extra brightwork because the paint already
shines so nicely. There's been a large investment in the metallic
silver to really make this Cobra stand out. The total package is a
mean machine that's both iconic and unique.
The interior definitely gets the Shelby attitude right with
wrap-around leather buckets that feature four-point Simpson racing
harnesses. Plus, the three spoke wood steering wheel and forward
bend gearstick are Cobra must-haves. The full AutoMeter gauge
package is crisp and clear, so you always know where you stand on
the street and track. There's no radio, no heater, or no A/C - this
was built with the driving experience in mind, and nothing else
needs to get in the way.
When you open the hood, you'll be excited to see the unmistakable
head of fuel-injected Ford performance. And as you dig deeper,
you'll discover a seriously stout 306 cubic-inch V8 crated by
American Rod & Performance. It has been fortified with go-fast
goodies such as a Holley SysteMax full package (heads, camshaft,
upper intake, & lower intake), 65mm BBK throttle body, 1.6 roller
rockers, 24lb injectors, aluminum pulleys, MSD Digital 6 Ignition,
three-row radiator, and BBK shorty headers. The full package is
rated around 375 horsepower, and those thunderous side pipes let
everyone know this is a big power machine. The monster motor feeds
the Tremec TKO five-speed manual transmission with Zoom Kevlar
racing clutch and a BBK short throw shifter. Getting all of this to
the ground is a stout 8.8 rear end with a limited slip differential
and 3.73 gears for great all-around performance. But all of this
power is nothing without control. That's why you have an adjustable
coilover independent front suspension, stout trailing arm rear,
front disc brakes, and modern Yokohama performance tires on ROH
17-inch wheels.
Low mileage complete builds that look this nice and have this much
power are rarely so affordable. So don't let this turnkey
opportunity slip through your fingers. Call now!
