INTRODUCTION: This is a top of the line Superformance, the only Cobra replica licensed by Carroll Shelby licensing Inc. It is very authentic in appearance from the Smiths gauges to the racing decals. This one features front and rear independent suspension and an aluminum 427 motor!
EXTERIOR: At first glance, you'd be hard-pressed to tell this car from an original-it was built using exact dimensions and correct trim pieces throughout. The body is in excellent condition; after a thorough inspection, I found no damage or stress cracking, and everything fits exactly as it should. The repaint in stunning Guardsman Blue Metallic is beautifully executed, with a deep, glossy clear coat that's been fully polished. The racing stripes and Shelby number 98 are painted on-not decals-and are smooth to the touch. Only the tiniest rock chips can be found if you look closely around the front end. Vintage-style racing decals add period flair, while the chrome sparkles throughout. Details include quick-jack bumpers, a pop-up racing-style functional gas cap, a roll-bar hoop, wing windows, and windshield tint visors. This one is equipped with a full convertible top and side windows which you don't see too often. The car rides on correct-style spinner knock-off wheels-complete with safety wire-wrapped in wide Mickey Thompson performance tires out back, giving it an aggressive, race-ready stance.
INTERIOR: The interior is just as impressive as the exterior, featuring an authentic, period-correct appearance right down to the proper knobs, toggle switches, and Smiths gauges. It is fully carpeted and presents like new throughout. Both door panels are equipped with map pockets and leather door-pull straps, staying true to the original design. The seats are upholstered in genuine leather and paired with racing-style seat belts that hold you firmly in place. An original-style shifter maintains the correct look, even though it operates a modern 5-speed transmission. Additional details include a chrome emergency brake handle and a wood-rimmed, three-spoke Shelby steering wheel. A discreet 12-volt receptacle has been added under the dash for convenient phone charging without detracting from the car's vintage appearance.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: This is where it gets truly insane! Power comes from an all-aluminum 427 cubic-inch V8 producing an impressive 530 horsepower. It's topped with aluminum heads and an Edelbrock RPM Air-Gap dual-plane intake, feeding a massive dual-feed Holley carburetor with an electric choke. Ignition is handled by an MSD system, and spent gases exit through a set of heat wrapped headers. Cooling is equally well sorted, featuring an aluminum radiator and water pump with dual electric fans, and an expansion tank. So this beast runs as cool as it does strong. It's practically brand new looking under the hood, dressed with a vintage-style aluminum air cleaner and chrome valve covers for a period-correct performance look. A modern serpentine belt system and power brakes round out the package, blending classic appearance with upgraded drivability and reliability.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It is meticulously finished off- fully lined in carpet with bound edges. The convertible top and windows are in storage bags and fit in the trunk so you can take it with you. There's also a battery disconnect.
UNDERSIDE: Underneath, the car is built around a Superformance chassis with fully independent front and rear suspension. It features tubular control arms at all four corners, adjustable coilover gas shocks, and front and rear sway bars for excellent handling. Rack-and-pinion steering provides precise, modern road feel. Stopping power comes from four-wheel disc brakes, including inboard rear brakes, along with a fully functional emergency brake. Looking up at the drivetrain, you'll find an extra-capacity oil pan, a high-torque Summit starter, and a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission with a hydraulic clutch and heavy-duty scatter shield.
