1966 Ford Other Ford Models

Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom deep blue 1966 Shelby Cobra replica. A potent full roller 385 HP Ford Motorsport 351W HO V8 crate engine mated to a crisp-shifting BW World Class T5 (5-speed) manual transmission provides the go while its 4-wheel disc brakes get this beast back to legal speeds quickly. The rear end features 31-spline Moser axles with C-clip eliminators Auburn limited slip diff and 3.73:1 gears which combine to provide a great balance of both quick acceleration with palatable RPM at interstate speeds. The 351 is fed by its Edelbrock 4BBL carb atop the high-rise aluminum intake; while headers funnel the exhaust into the matte black side pipes providing that great throaty sound that the early Cobras were famous for. A big aluminum radiator with twin electric fans helps keep the mill in proper operating temps. A full set of VDO gauges help the driver monitor critical operating functions. Fast is a complete understatement: with little to no weight and a potent V8 up front this thing is a rocket and this rocket has only covered a tick over 9500 miles since it was built so its broken in but not worn out. A custom set of Compomotive aluminum wheels are shod with some very sticky BF Goodrich G-Force Sport Comp2 radials 225/50ZR16 up front and 255/50ZR16s out back. Inside youll find a spartan black interior with synthetic leather seating and RJS Racing harnesses to keep occupants in their places. This car gives you the feeling of driving a real Cobra but without the 6- to 7-figure price tag. When youre behind the wheel of a Cobra its just you the car and the road ahead.
