1965 Shelby Cobra-Replica

Over sixty years ago, the best sports cars all came from Europe. Americans wanted a car of their own to take on the British, Italians and Germans. Texan Carroll Shelby took the sharp handling, lightweight AC Ace from Britain, and stuffed it full of American muscle. The result was the Shelby Cobra. The price of an original Shelby Cobra puts it out of the reach of the average enthusiast. Also, most kits leave much to be desired in regards to fit, finish, feel, and value.

Then Shelby took his 427 S/C Cobra and took it to another level with the Super Snake. The original cars were created to be the baddest cars made adding twin Paxton Superchargers to the 427FE. Only 23 Super Snakes were factory built in 1965.

The Superformance MKIII is a meticulously engineered and crafted reproduction of the original Cobra, built under license from Carroll Shelby Licensing Inc. No expense is spared and no corners are cut in recreating these legendary cars, ensuring an authentic sports car experience. Superformance uses only the highest quality new parts in the construction of the MKIII, they have always maintained amazingly high resale values, and are known in the industry for their track ready drivability, and their show ready finish.

It only makes sense that Superformance would offer a Super Snake version of the MKIII SC. The Rolling Chassis includes many special features, such as a special body design with Double Speed Fairings behind the Driver and Passenger, Front Splitter, Rear Diffuser, LED Headlights, 30th Anniversary 18 Wheels, special Interior with High Back Alcantara/Leather Seats, Alcantara Dash, Super Snake Electronic Gauge Package, Special Center Console with Push Button Start, Carroll Shelbys Signature painted on the Speed Fairing, and a Shelby Chassis number.

This example is the first produced as both a Super Snake and 30th Anniversary Car, CSX10004. It is finished in Liquid Blue with a Black Center Stripe and Red Pin Stripes. It features a full Blackout Package.

The interior is finished in black and red alcantara with contrasting stitching. The dash is also finished in alcantara with red stitching. The Super Snake center console houses the push button start and charging port. A carbon fiber steering wheel wrapped in alcantara finishes off the classically modern interior.

Under the hood is something that makes this car even more special. The first of its kind to get a Supercharged Godzilla making 1,052HP! The engine bay is a work of art with custom snakeskin coil/valve covers and supercharger cover with the CSX chassis number plate. The glorious sound of the Godzilla is enhanced by the custom undercar, side exit exhaust. This is mated to a Tremec TKX 5 speed for fast and smooth shifting. The 18 Anniversary Wheels are finished in gloss black with red anodized spinners and center caps.

This showpiece has only 199 miles and is being sold on its Shelby American Manufacturers Statement of Origin. Available in Jupiter Florida for $349,950
