1966 Shelby 427 Cobra For Sale - 1 Of Approximately 16 Factory Black Real 427 Cobras Ever Produced LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1966 Shelby 427 Cobra The 1965 Shelby Cobra 427 represents the absolute pinnacle of American performance engineering in the 1960s—an uncompromising fusion of brute-force big block power and lightweight British roadster design. Purpose-built by Carroll Shelby to dominate both the street and the track, the 427 Cobra remains one of the most revered and collectible automobiles ever produced. This particular example stands in an extraordinarily rare category, being one of approximately only 16 factory black, real 427 Cobras ever built—an ultra-desirable specification that dramatically elevates its significance among even the most elite Cobras. Of the 16 Black cars produced, this is one of approximately only 8 that has never suffered severe trauma. Beyond its striking and seldom-seen factory black finish, this Cobra is one of only approximately 155 true 427-powered street Cobras produced. Only 100 were delivered new with the highly coveted dual quad carburetor setup, making this example a standout among its peers. At its heart lies the original 427 cubic inch “center oiler” engine—an engineering marvel derived from Ford’s racing program—producing immense torque and delivering the visceral driving experience that defines the Cobra legend. Factory delivered with the highly sought-after dual quad induction system, further enhancing both its performance, pedigree, and collector desirability, representing the ultimate configuration. Equally important is the extraordinary level of originality retained by this example. It is equipped with its original Toploader 4-speed manual transmission and original rear end, components that are critical to preserving the car’s authenticity and mechanical integrity. Most notably, this Cobra retains its original body and chassis—an exceedingly rare attribute, as many Cobras were heavily modified, raced, damaged or re-bodied over the decades. The survival of these core elements places this car in an elite echelon reserved for the most untouched and historically intact examples in existence. Fully documented and listed in the Shelby Registry, this Cobra’s provenance is unquestionable. Its authenticity, originality, and rare factory specifications combine to create a blue-chip collector automobile of the highest order. The documentation not only confirms its status as a genuine 427 street Cobra, but also reinforces its place among the most important surviving examples of the model. With its ultra-rare factory black finish, original dual quad 427 engine, and remarkable preservation of original components, this 1966 Shelby Cobra 427 represents a once-in-a-generation acquisition opportunity. It is a car that transcends the traditional boundaries of collectibility—offering not only investment-grade rarity, but also a direct and unfiltered connection to one of the most legendary performance machines ever created. -

Legendary Motorcar soon began producing national show winning restorations and record sales. After three short years our facility had grown to 4000 sq. ft. and restorations and sales began to include all makes and models of muscle cars, always staying true to our goal of producing the best. By 1990 we expanded to 12,000 sq ft, and began selling European marques, including Ferrari, Lamborghini, Mercedes, Porsche and of course we continued to sell some of the rarest domestic models.
