Vehicle Description
The right colors, a monster big block, and a fully independent
suspension - this 1965 Shelby Cobra Contemporary has all the
features you want at a price far below what you'd expect to
pay.
This is the iconic color combo for Cobra, and while some replicas
have a deeper shade of blue, we bet you like how this lighter color
looks against the white stripes. After all, it's this the exact
kind of car we always see Carroll Shelby driving in the old promo
films, right? In fact, speaking of the classic look, the brightwork
nails the vintage appearance, too. The front bumper that surrounds
the grille, single roll hoop, and curved rear bumper are all equal
parts graceful and functional. Finish it off with knock-off style
wheels, and you a have a true competition machine that absolutely
looks the part.
Black leather racing buckets and competition harnesses are exactly
what you love to see in a Cobra. And when you sit down, you get the
full experience. Your left hand will love the correct wood and
chrome three-spoke steering wheel with Cobra center cap. And your
right one may never want to leave that large cue ball shifter.
Plus, true Cobra fans know a dash full of Smiths gauges is the
proper way to celebrate this icon.
Under the hood, the big block has a dominating presence with those
long Moroso valve covers shining like a grinning beast. And the
mean appearance is no accident. The late '60s block for this 427
cubic-inch V8 was advertised at 385 horsepower, and that was BEFORE
this one was bored out to 440ci total. It inhales deeply from a
Holley four-barrel carburetor, and exhales with thunderous
authority as the headers feed those large side pipes. A total power
package like this requires the best control. That's why you have a
five-speed manual transmission. There's also a fully independent
suspension that features a strong Jaguar rear end with inboard
brakes for better weight distribution. And speaking of the brakes,
you also have a superior four-wheel disc setup. Add in the grip of
modern BF Goodrich tires, and you soon realize this is a fast
machine that also knows how to also handle the corners.
Seriously powerful, classically finished, and priced right - this
is a terrific Cobra package that's going to get snatched up soon.
