HIGHLIGHTS

The 1965 Shelby 427 S/C Cobra Replica is a stunning tribute to the iconic American sports car. While titled as a 1972 kit vehicle, it captures the essence of the legendary Cobra in both aesthetics and performance.

Under the hood, this Cobra replica roars to life with a 390-cubic-inch Ford FE engine. This powerplant delivers the kind of performance that makes Cobra enthusiasts smile, offering a visceral driving experience that's true to the original.

A rebuilt Toploader 4-speed transmission ensures that gear changes are precise and effortless, enhancing the driving pleasure and connecting the driver to the road.

Equipped with an Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold and a Holley 750 carburetor, this Cobra replica breathes freely, providing plenty of power and responsiveness. The MSD Ignition system ensures reliable ignition, even in high-performance situations.

True to its heritage, this Cobra replica boasts the iconic blue body with white racing stripes, adorned with red campaign stripes. It's a head-turner from every angle, paying homage to the original design.

Safety is a priority, with a functional chrome roll-bar and original Cobra seats paired with five-point seat belts. The tunnel-mounted e-brake adds a touch of authenticity. For added security, there's a Halon fire-suppression system.

Inside, you'll find a vintage-inspired Cobra-style steering wheel and Smiths gauges, including an Auto Meter tachometer. These elements combine modern convenience with classic charm.

The Cobra replica comes with a fitted tonneau cover, a full car cover for protection, and essential documentation. Notably, it carries the autograph of the legendary Carroll Shelby, the driving force behind the original Cobra.

In summary, the 1965 Shelby 427 S/C Cobra Replica is a tribute that captures the essence of the iconic sports car.
