ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS: 1965 Cobra Shelby Aluminum 427 Block (CSX1196). 496 CI. Blue Thunder Aluminum Heads (Minor Porting). Oliver Light weight Rods. Billet light weight crankshaft by (Winberg). Race tec Pistons (10.5 to 1 compression. 750 HP @ 6500 Rpm. Engine capable to 8000 Rpm. Rev limiter set to 6500 Rpm. 690 Foot pounds of torque @ 4500 Rpm. Custom suspension.

Rolling stock: vintage fully-polished wheels with 5-lug simulated knockoff spinners. She captured ‘Best of Show’ at the Coronado Speed Festival in 2013 and one more at another show until I decided not to take her to shows anymore.

Suspension details: rack & pinion steering with coil-over adjustable shocks and it was completely redesigned from the ground emphasizing on handling and stability. Fully polished true SS (stainless-steel) side pipes and heat shields. The springs [front & rear] are matched ideally to the car's weight, thus providing splendid balance and awesome/ glued-to-the-pavement cornering. Disc brakes all-around. 18-gallon custom built fuel tank with metal cover. 

In the cockpit: Speed hut custom gauges with Cobra emblem on the gauge faces and matching colors to complement the interior & exterior. Four-spoke leather-covered steering wheel, Hurst forward-bent lever speed shifter. Interior fully covered detailed olive-green leather with a yellow stripe that complements the exterior. Leather & carpeted luggage compartment. 

This beauty is rock solid—no shakes, no rattles... only the rich melody of the engine. She is perfect—completely blemish-free. You won’t find a scratch on her even armed with a good magnifying glass. Only 3,500 miles [5,600 km] logged. Engine has logged only approximately 1,800 miles [2,900 km]. She is the approaching menace in the rear-view mirror of a Ferrari... acceleration is as downright scary as the license plate boasts. She’s a bona fide beauty!
