From behind the wheel of thisblistering-fastbeauty, any motorway, byway, beltway or boulevard isThunder Road. This 'Custom 557' Cobra has been scaled and balanced and boasts serious acceleration for when you want to go fast, and the suspension it must have in order to tame the turns and take the corners hard as possible. This little road rocket truly offers the mostbreathtaking, wind-in-your-facethrills you'll ever have in a sports car! Brian Wilson perhaps phrased it perfectly: "If she had a set of wings, man I know she could fly!"If you'd like to experience the euphoria of being hurled from a carrier deck with a steam catapult, just punch your foot into the pedal of this 557 drivin' machine and you'll find out! —Gear Train— Outfitted with the FAST-revving 557 cid/830hp BIG-block Ford stroker V8 you see below, this take-no-prisoners Coppertone Cobra ratchets up the original Shelby serpent's 1960s nickname 'Jet-engine-on-a rollerskate. The block is a 460cid Ford big-block stroked to a 557cid. The heads are Trick Flow 460A racing heads—polished aluminum. Custom cam designed by a top engineer from Comp Cams [Bill Peck—same fine chap who painted the car]. Every step of this engine build was executed by experienced professional craftsmen; the result is the fastest-accelerating and meanest-sounding V8 powerplant ever.
The certifiably robustMidstateschassis is structurally reinforced in the frame and doors to further reduce flex and maximize rigidity.

There's abundant structural buttressing to handle that thunder-generator powerplant: the excellentMidstateschassis has been strategically reinforced to provide extra strength and rigidity to virtuallyeliminateflex during acceleration and cornering. TheShell Valleybody was sculpted into place while investing hundreds of hours making certain the coachwork and paint was absolutely perfect. Everything from the carbon-fiber dash, custom-crafted leather upholstery, powerplant, suspension, & paint was carefully scrutinized to ensure this would be aone-of-a-kindCobra and aone-of-a-kinddriving experience. That is to say, no one will be pulling up alongside you with a cookie-cutter Cobra just like yours.... Over $125,000 was invested as a "labor of love" to build and possess this dream drivin' machine; it has since been appraised at $80,000. This car is a HEAD TURNER! If you don't like attention this is not the car for you! Car is a crowd favorite at car shows. Happy bidding! Any questions about the car feel free to reach me at 434-851-4313. The car is currently registered and titled in Virginia. The Vin# that is listed is correct. I also reserve the right to end the auction early if car sells locally. |
