1962 SHELBY COBRA

Superformance SPS0024 is a “slab-side” MKII that combines classic British styling with robust American horsepower. The hand-laminated fiberglass body was built with reinforced inserts and an optional hood scoop, then covered in magnificent British Racing Green. Aesthetically and dimensionally accurate, the car features key touches including original style turn indicator lenses, headlights, handcrafted windshield frame in chrome over brass and authentic style windshield wipers. The roadster even rides on original-style 15-inch wire wheel rims with real spinners shod by Dunlop Signature II tires.

The roadster is powered by a Roush 331SRX Crate Engine installed by Gulf Coast Motorworks; topped by a Holley carburetor on an Edelbrock Hi-Po intake manifold, MSD ignition, and steel braided fuel lines. Power is fed into a Tremec TKO600 5 Speed transmission and a ZF limited-slip differential. Additional details include finned Cobra valve covers, a polished air cleaner with a “289” decal, silver ceramic coated headers and black ceramic coated exhaust with chrome tip.

The cockpit features fixed-back bucket seats trimmed in quilted cream leather along with matching door panels and transmission tunnel trim. Details include fresh air vents, a heater, and a locking glove box. The wood-rimmed steering wheel features an AC horn button and sits ahead of a linen leather dashboard housing Stewart Warner instrumentation.

This Superformance MK II Street 289 has an original John Tojeiro designed chassis based on a 3” heavy duty TIG welded ladder frame and crossmembers with crumple zones. The rack & pinion steering keeps the car pointed and the fully independent front and rear transverse leaf spring style suspension has Bilstein custom crafted shocks. Stopping power comes from the power disc Wilwood power-assisted vented disc brakes (four piston calipers in the front and single in the rear).

The Superformance MK II Street 289 is a meticulously engineered and crafted reproduction of the original, built under license from Carroll Shelby Licensing Inc. No expense was spared in recreating this legendary car, ensuring an authentic sports car experience.

SP0024 is titled and registered in Florida as a 1963 Ford with 1,337 miles and is available for $134,950.
