Item Details
Description
Shelby 1965 Replica Cobra, VIN AZ291366. Here's your opportunity to own a true one of one sports car. With just over 2,000 original miles on it, there's none like it. It's full of power, style and racing sex appeal! This 1965 replica Cobra is the progeny of race car legend Carroll Shelby. He was a successful race car driver but always wanted to be a builder. When AC cars in the UK stopped production of their A.C. Ace Roadster model, Shelby saw an opportunity and seized it. This car had the classic sports car look. From the Shelby Cobra's humble beginnings in the early 1960's, with a Ford 260 engine, the Cobra added serious muscle in 1964. Shelby made modifcations and dropped in a big block 427. The rest is history, but a short history! Only 348 Cobras were built between 1965 and 1967. Many suffered the perils of racing. The number of survivors is unclear. Should you want an original, be prepared to step up and spend well over a million dollars. Carroll Shelby's 1965 sold recently for $5.5 million! This replica Cobra is a true original one-of-a-kind. Custom built, the 427 wasn't big enough for the owner. So…muscle with different DNA took its place: a LS7 Big Block Chevy 454 engine with Holley Sniper Fuel Injection took over as "Hybrid Muscle".The engine has a lot more going for it. Here are some of the extras: * MSD Distributor and Holley Hyperspark ignition box * Forged Steel 4340 competition 427 crankshaft & 7/16 rods * Ported and polished heads: 2.30 intake & 1.88 exhaust * Stainless Steel valves w/competition springs * Edelbrock Air Gap intake w/HPC ceramic coating * Competition hydraulic roller cam: 240 degree duration @ .050 lift * Competition roller lifters, rockers and push rods* Moroso oil pan The drive train: * Turbo 400 stage 2 trans w/Trans Specialties 10" converter-2,800 stall * 1998 Saleen Mustang 8.8" rear end w/3:55 gears * 4-wheel disc brakes w/American racing wheels Other extras: Derale high output fans, Autometer gauges, Trux Headlights * Bluetooth audio, Alpine Speakers, Cupholders w/USB charging ports Immaculate condition in bright yellow and just 2,030 miles, this beauty will turn heads on your way to the grocery store or at a show or on the track! Carroll Shelby would have to take a second look! Car comes with its own History book. Also included is a Factory Five Racing Inc. 427 Assembly Manual showing the build of a Cobra. The manual includes a list of Mustang Donor parts, templates, 427 Standard Pack List, Big Block instructions and Independent Rear Suspension. If you want to build your own Cobra, this could be very useful.
