We all love a Shelby Cobra replica because it instantly makes us want to hit the road or racetrack. So when you can find a big block example that is nicely priced, you know it's time to pay attention. The shape of the Shelby Cobra is both sleek and muscular. The deep blue on this example highlights that instantly as the light rolls off of the European curves that Carroll Shelby had enhanced with wide flares. This... one likes to strike a mix of style and race-ready substance, and you see that immediately in the front end. The clear blue-dot headlights look awesome. Just below that are big racing lights in the grille and quick-jack bumperettes. Dual racing stripes, a hood scoop, single roll hoop, and side pipes all continues this high-octane spirit. And the competition-style American Racing Torq Thrust wheels are even staggered 14/15 inches front/rear for some cool added aggression. The interior immediately announces it wants to get down to speedy business. That's why you have modern high-back racing seats that have terrific bolstering and race harnesses. The wood and chrome steering wheel is on a tilt column for driver comfort, and the Hurst short shifter is exactly where you want your right hand to be. The dash is dominated by a full set of crisp AutoMeter readouts, including a large speedo and tach. Under the hood is a tidy engine bay filled with big block power. The 390 cubic-inch V8 inhales deeply with a Holley four-barrel carburetor sitting on top of an aluminum intake. And the headers allow the motor to exhale with power while it feeds the thunderous side pipes. This Cobra even has the right supporting components you want in a high-performance machine, like upgraded pulleys, an oil cooler w/fan, and an aluminum radiator w/large electric fan. The Tremec five-speed manual transmission is a stout unit that puts the full control of this power in your hand. Plus, you have power brakes w/discs up front, power steering, and wide BF Goodrich T/As. This is the strong-running Cobra replica that will make you want to head for the track every time you hear the mean V8 fire up. So if you love a great sports car, call today!!!
