1965 Shelby Cobra
View Description
The one-piece, Vinyl-Ester Tri-Axial Laminate fiberglass shell is covered in a gorgeous Honda Still Night Pearl Blue, which, with its contrasting pearl white racing stripes, makes for some showstopping looks! Built by a retired engineer with contributions from Restoration Techniques, Car Sport Auto, and Nick's Auto Restoration, this is one of the nicest Cobra replicas we've had the pleasure of offering for sale. Starting with a GT427 kit from Ultimate Classic Cars ('UCC') and continuing with painstaking attention to detail during the build, the result is top notch. Under the hood is a full roller Ford 351W, with aluminum AFR heads and a polished Holley 750 CFM 4BBL carb sitting atop its aluminum intake. Coated headers feed into its heat shield-equipped side exhaust. Backing the 450HP V8 is a 10. 5-inch McLeod clutch-equipped 5-speed manual Tremec T-5 transmission. The T-5 is also blessed with a crisp shifter, so it really helps the driver feel connected to this steed. Out back, a Currie 9-inch Ford rear end gets the power to the road with reliable precision. This build features the Wilwood 12. 2-inch brakes upgrade (vs. 11-inch vented discs standard), which gets you slotted/drilled rotors and 4-piston Wilwood calipers at each corner....
