GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1966 Shelby Cobra (2023 build) for your consideration. This freshly built AC Cobra has just 10 miles on it since it was completed - it features a Contemporary Classics body that is finished in a gorgeous Metallic Dark Purple with Silver Metallic painted stripes. It is powered by a 427ci V8 ('67 Ford FE Mid-Oiler engine) with twin 500 cam carburetors and an original aluminum Ford racing intake manifold. All of this power is transferred through a Tremec manual gearbox and put to the ground through the 3.31 rear gear. Some key features on this Cobra include; American Racing Hildebrand wheels, C4 Corvette front independent suspension (only donor part on the build), CWI Jaguar style rear suspension with double coilovers, power steering, power drilled and slotted brakes, Tach drive distributor converted to electronic ignition, electronic radiator fan, fully fused wiring system with electronic fuel pump, double battery system in trunk with shut-off, ceramic coated side pipes, chrome heat guards, full dash controls and smith style gauges, stereo system with 4-speakers and Bluetooth stereo, full 4-point harness seat belts, full soft top with tonneau cover, garage soft cover and more. Drive this one out of our showroom or have us assist with shipping it to you anywhere in the United States! Don't hesitate to give us a call with any questions or for more information.
These Cobra's have quite an iconic histroy, in 1964, Shelby started working on the Shelby Cobra 427, an even more extreme version powered by a monstrous Ford big block 7-liter engine with around 450 bhp and over 600 Nm of torque. It was insane to put this kind of power in such a light car, but Shelby was not the guy who cared about the sanity of his vehicles. He rightfully thought that there is no such thing as too much power and he was determined to build an ultimate classic muscle car. Instaling a 427 V8 proved to be more difficult and the Cobra body needed to be stretched and widened with necessary improvements to the chassis and suspension. The overall design remained the same, but although 289 and 427 Cobras looked very similar, none of the body panels, except for the hood, trunk, and windshield, are interchangeable.
