Vehicle description
Outstanding Factory Five Cobra Mark III. This Cobra won Best Builder presented by Jay Leno. Also, numerous car show awards and has had a few articles written about it. Built in 2007 by a prominent car builder, Carl Iannalfo. This Cobra is powered by a High Performance 375HP 302 ford engine with GT40 heads. Complete engine rebuild using roller rockers,performance cam and so on. Now with 7355 total miles. The Cobra has beautiful Pueblo Gold G3 paint and fully detailed interior. For example: two correct yet comfortable custom 6-way power seats, 4 wheel power disc brakes, heater/defroster,windshield wipers, Cobra-correct full instrumentation, passenger custom grab handle, molded side door pockets, and fitted tonneau cover . On the exterior, it has side pipes with chrome leg protectors, four brand new 9-inch tread width tires, and polished aluminum 17-inch Custom Eagle Rims. The only flaw is a scratch shown pictured on top of the rear wheel well. Previous Smog Exempt rule-SB100 status in California. The Cobra is setup with a Performance Automatic valve body for its 4-speed automatic AOD transmission including dash-switched overdrive. It truly is a great setup. Shifting is accomplished with a Hurst Pro-Matic 2 Ratchet Shifter. Meaning it shifts manually through each gear one at a time at any RPM, just like a manual transmission. Downshifting is the same. It feels, sounds, and performs exactly like a manual transmission. Switched overdrive above 60mph. It can also function in automatic mode. For historical reference, sixteen original Cobras were built with automatic transmissions. This includes many of Carol Shelby’s personal Cobras. Shelby desired the extra legroom without a clutch. I do not have any of the trophies associated with this Cobra. However, performance was outlined in the included 2008 newspaper article: 375hp,104.8 quarter mile, 3.75sec 0-60mph. This Cobra has always been treated and cared for as you would treat a very special collector car.
