PROVENANCE

Purchased 2013 from original owner. A 1999 model in the builder's catalog produced as a 1967 Shelby Cobra 427 SC. Replicas flooded the market from the 1970's onwards and Midstates, now Shell Valley has been one of the premier & respected builders providing well-built & accurate replicas since its origins in 1971.

Due to my scheduling restraints & unfamiliarity of the process, I am having the appraiser-ClassicGray©moderate the auction & competently answer all your questions.

SUMMARY

A vehicle fulfilling all the attributes of a #3++ vehicle w/ potential of moving into a low #2 category w/ some minor paint touch-ups & a total professional detailing - undercarriage in particular. A solid & superbly built Replica keeping very close to original specs of the unrivaled American Muscle Car, the 427 SC Cobra w/ a true (not bored) Big Block & period correct accessories & components. The tall/high rear ratio of 2.77:1 makes for less spectacular launches & overall better drivability, although not sedate by any means.

Has the look & feel of the real McCoy, very vintage & correct in all respects w/ absolutely no issues & the only thing it needs is a new driver. Priced atBELOWits appraised value & will be adjusted if necessary to make a sale.
