The Shelby Cobra is perhaps the purest expression of automotive performance ever put on the streets. But when you look at the timeand#44; moneyand#44; and effort it takes to build your ownand#44; youll realize how much you really just want a quality Factory Five replica like this one with a performance-built 306 V8 and an irresistible price. Factory Five got the formula right – adding welcomed amounts of room without taking away from the classic Cobra proportions. Youll feel the difference the moment you sit behind the wheeland#44; but more on that in a moment. Firstand#44; just marvel at the companys 20+ years of fiberglass Cobra knowledge. They understand the gentle European curves originally created by ACand#44; and the aggressive fenders and hood that Carroll Shelby needed to harness all that added power. This body looks exceptional in deep metallic blueand#44; and as the shine rolls evenly across the whole carand#44; you can instantly see the quality that $8K invested in paint and body gets you. Plusand#44; it also gets the details right. The dual white stripes are an iconic touch; the side pipes have the rumble of a true mean machine; the quick jack bumpers are a great reminder of this cars track ability; and the dual roll hoops means you can share this wide-open bare-knuckled wild ride with someone special. The interior definitely captures the Shelby attitude correctly with wrap-around bucket seats and Schroth racing harnesses. The driver gets the full Cobra experience with the three spoke wood steering wheel and the shift lever thats been reversed to fit the driver perfectly. All of this looks fantasticand#44; leading us to believe there has been a nice investment in the interior recently. Theres a full AutoMeter gauge packageand#44; which is critical if youre using your Cobra on the track. Theres no radioand#44; no heaterand#44; no A/C – this is first a competition machine thats all about enjoying the open air and the driving experience with nothing else getting in the way. When you look under the hood of a Cobraand#44; theres nothing better to see than big bold Cobra air cleaner and valve covers. But beneath this timeless tidy presentation lies enhanced performance. This 302 cubic-inch V8 has a bored .30 over kit (total displacement 306ci)and#44; and it also includes go-fast goodies such as an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetorand#44; Edelbrock Performer intakeand#44; forged pistons w/aftermarket rodsand#44; and hydraulic roller cam. The V8 was even recently overhauled at Chucks Performance (the one who builds NASCAR motors) and includes new rocker arms and a full valve service. This total investment makes for a strong motor that fires right upand#44; and it even has all the right support components for reliable performance such as an MSD ignitionand#44; aluminum radiatorand#44; and electric fan. This complete package does a great job of moving the lightweight fiberglass bodyand#44; and you can stay in the powerband with ease thanks to the T5 five-speed manual transmission. Of courseand#44; power is nothing without control. Thats why this Cobra comes with power steeringand#44; an independent front suspensionand#44; and three-link coilover rear. Its backed up by a four-wheel disc brake package that is connected to the expensive and grippy ZR-rated tires mounted on those cool 17-inchand#44; five-spoke alloys. Complete with owners manualand#44; and weve also got $27K in receipts that was invested in creating this Cobra (not including the initial purchase price of the body and 306 block.) So what might have at first looked like a good value for moneyand#44; is something that you now know is now one of best Cobra deals youre going to see. Thats why you know you have to hurry to snatch this one up. Call today!! |
