"1966 Shelby Cobra Replica
The Cobras dominated Corvettes in North America, winning races coast to coast. On July 4, 1965, the Cobra won the World Manufacturers' GT Championship, as the team soundly defeated Ferrari. Shelby American is the only American vehicle manufacturer to win the prestigious championship, before or since."" Thx Shelby.com.
For consignment, a 1966 Shelby Cobra replica showing 3,859 miles, but the true miles are unverifiable. This may very well be #1 on the list of most desired cars by automotive enthusiasts everywhere. With real Cobras fetching six or seven figures, respected replicas are a way of getting a taste without mortgaging the farm.
Exterior
Sapphire Blue is a fantastic shade that fits this car well, enhanced by silver stripes that go from the bottom lip to the rear valance breaking only for the lower intake, the gaping grille, and of course, the upright windshield, here with wind wings. In profile, the Coke bottle shape is well defined and epic side gills, here in polished metal, catches your eyes right before they are drawn to the coated side pipe. 15-inch Compomotive wheels are a spectacular choice here, their polished rims providing some extra shine. Out back, quad tail lights cap the fenders while vestigial reminders of the race version include the hood scoop, the gas cap, and the roll bar. Bumperettes were added for street cars and like all the metal on this car, appears in great condition here. In fact, the entire exterior is superb, and we could not find any imperfections.
Interior
Black leather cards are adorned with pleated map pockets and decorative buttons to cover connective hardware. Inside, bomber style black leather seats rest proudly on each side of the center hump with some slight wear showing on the edge of the driver's, and both are fitted with a four point racing harness. Excellent conditions prevail with the wood rimmed steering wheel and black backed dashboard housing Smiths gauges, indicator lights, and several toggle switches while the shifter wears a rubber boot over black carpet. The trunk, footwells, and back wall are all lined in a nice low pile black carpet and an AM/FM/CD player mounted on the dash bottom.
Drivetrain
The clean machine features a 428ci V8 under the hood and the beast is fueled by dual Holley 4-barrel carburetor, all mated to a Toploader 4-speed manual. Out back, we have 3.54 gears to get things scooting. Finned Cobra valve covers and air box add some eye candy to the impressively clean engine bay.
Undercarriage
Wonderfully clean underneath with nothing out of place, and some interesting components. Obviously, the dual exhaust are a simple configuration of headers and side pipes, while disc brakes occupy front and back with the rears being inboard. Suspension includes front coil overs and a Jaguar independent rear suspension with quad coil overs.
Drive-Ability
Don't just hold on to your hat, hold on to your hair with this outrageously wild ride! We understand the venom of this snake's bite and its Power Performance kit, so we feather it around the test loop to test functionality, but even at slow speeds, we can't help but smile. Back to our checklist, we find the radio and horn are not operating but all other functions on board this blue rocket operate as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
Kudos to AC and Carroll Shelby for creating a near perfect design that never gets old, will never be boring, and will never cease to be lusted after. This is a stupendous replica, a great build, and a snake that should be driven and enjoyed. Carefully, of course...
