1966 Shelby Cobra

INTRODUCTION: Experience the exhilaration of a Cobra with a touch of added comfort! This one is equipped with an automatic transmission, luxurious leather upholstery, a premium stereo system, and a convertible top, features typically not found in a Cobra.

EXTERIOR: Finished in classic Daytona Blue Metallic with iconic white racing stripes, this Cobra has the classic look enthusiasts dream about. The lightweight body features the signature scoop hood, functional fender louvers, stainless bumpers, bullet-style mirrors, a windshield with visors and wing windows, a single hoop roll bar, and the signature flip up racing fuel cap. Its sitting on a brand new set of Shelby style knockoff spinner wheels wrapped in performance tires, giving it an aggressive, authentic stance. The body is straight, the gaps fit well, and the paint has a beautiful, glossy finish that makes this Cobra look every bit as exciting standing still as it is on the road. This one also has the unique feature of a convertible top and side windows.

INTERIOR: It has a true race inspired feel, but with a more refined touch. Its upholstered entirely in leather, including the seats, door panels, and dash, giving it a richer appearance than a typical Cobra. It features an automatic transmission cleverly disguised with a manual style shifter, so it maintains the classic look. A tilt steering column- an uncommon and welcome upgrade is topped with a beautiful Nardi wood rim steering wheel. The dash is filled with a full array of gauges, racing style toggle switches, and a working clock. For modern enjoyment, it has a quality stereo system with door mounted speakers and tweeters, speakers behind the seats, and a subwoofer. Racing harnesses are provided for both driver and passenger, and the doors are opened with convenient push button poppers.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Lift the lightweight hood and youll find a stout 351W built for spirited driving. Its equipped with aluminum Edelbrock heads, an Edelbrock aluminum intake, and an Edelbrock carb for strong, reliable performance. It features an MSD ignition, a set of headers wrapped in heat shielding to help control underhood temperatures, an aluminum water pump, and a large electric cooling fan. The engine is dressed with classic Cobra finned aluminum valve covers and matching air cleaner, along with a chrome alternator for a clean appearance. It also features power brakes and a new set of horns.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The carpeted trunk is clean and well finished. It houses the battery with a master disconnect switch along with a powerful 1,000-watt amplifier, yet still offers enough usable space to accommodate the convertible top and side windows when theyre stored.

UNDERSIDE: It is clean, well built, and engineered for both performance and drivability. Up front is a rebuilt Mustang II independent suspension with brand new adjustable coilover gas shocks, a sway bar, and rack-and-pinion steering for modern handling. A sturdy boxed frame leads back to a four link rear suspension with matching adjustable coilover shocks. It has front disc brakes, rear drum brakes, and a functional emergency brake assembly. Looking up at the drivetrain, youll find an extra capacity oil pan and a high torque starter. The C4 automatic transmission makes this Cobra much easier and more enjoyable to drive than a traditional manual, especially in traffic. A shortened driveshaft transfers power to a durable Ford 8.8-inch rear end equipped with 3.50 posi gears. Overall, the underside is clean, properly assembled, and reflects the quality of the build.

SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and hired a team of technicians to service the essentials on every car we sell.

CONCLUSION: We originally sold this Cobra 15 years ago and were thrilled to buy it back from the same owner. Another unique advantage is that its titled as a 1966 Ford Cobra and even carries a CSX VIN number, just like the original Shelby Cobras- a rare and desirable detail.
