Carrol Shelby was motivated by speed as a driver and after retiring from racing he obtained a license to import the AC Ace. He fell in love with the performance of the small English roadster at Le Mans and knew he could beef it up with a Ford V8 to compete with the fastest autos in the world. Shelby's thirst for performance and the victory circle caused him to become a household name and automotive legend, and the AC Cobra... is his crowning achievement. With sales of actual AC Cobra's in the 7 figures, companies like Factory Five produce awesome replicas for that high-performance Cobra driving experience without the price tag. GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this Shell Valley Cobra for consideration. This kit was completed in early 2013 and has been driven just under 3,000 miles since the build. This Cobra is extremely unique, as it features an L98 350 cubic inch V8 engine that is paired with an automatic transmission. The previous owner has kept great documentation behind the build and has passed it along to the new owner, therefore tons of receipts and records are available with the vehicle. This is a really fun, fast, loud, and mean car to have sitting in the garage just ready to go tear up some roads with you! Please call or email for more details. Ford's strong racing history is a prime example of why these cars are on the road today and are so desirable by the masses. With a style and sound unlike any other vehicle on the toad, the Shelby Cobra has become an American Icon. High-quality examples such as this remain in high demand; this car is titled as a 1966 Cobra Replica. To see over 80 photos of this car, including under carriage please visit our website
