Vehicle description
1965 Shelby Cobra- Restored Contemporary Cobra Highly Collectible
Jet black Over Black Leather Interior. Only 44 miles since restoration!
This Contemporary Cobra Was Produced in 1984! This Is One Of The Very Collectible Early Production Contemporary Cars! High-performance Ford 306 Engine mated to a Borg Warner G 5 speed. All original XKE Jaguar Independent Rear Suspension as well as the original XKE front end and suspension built by AC in England. This Shelby Cobra Is Not Only Almost Exactly True To That Of A Real 1965 427 Cobra But It has been restored to the original specs of a 1965 AC Shelby Cobra by contemporary that was offered and built. The Contemporary Is Simply One Of The Most Accurate And Highly Regarded Cobra Replicas Ever Produced. This is a true 90in. wheelbase car just like the original. All other kit car replicas are 92 inches in wheelbase.
* 4 in. Tubular chassis just like the original. Super strong and super light. Handles like a dream and will out perform the heavier rectangular frame. (All other replicas use inferior rectangular tubing instead which is much cheaper to mass produce. Do the research).
* Ford HO 306 * Aluminum Intake * Holley 600cfm carb * Borg-Warner 5 Speed Transmission * Electronic ignition * Upgraded to RED 4 piston racing Girling calipers in the front.
* Brand new matching gauges(have originals) * Electric fan * Original AC Steering Wheel imported from England
* All original documentation included * DANA 44 Rear Differential
* 1965 Original Jaguar XKE rear suspension which includes the quad Koni shocks, inboard brake system and complete rear end set-up just like the original car that AC used in England.
* Fully documented with original owners manual, build sheet, maintenance records, and more.
Vehicle is being sold "AS IS"- Feel free to schedule a visit to view this vehicle for yourself - currently located at the Hardcore Hot Rods facility in Northern VA.
Information From Contemporary Cobra"s Literature Package:
Made in the USA. The Contemporary is simply one of the most accurate and highly regarded Cobra replicas ever produced .Contemporary has been the most respected name in the reproduction Cobra market for over 30 years. Produced by the legendary Contemporary Classic Motor Car Mamaroneck, New York, it has long been recognized for creating the most precise rendition and the best engineered of all the aftermarket Cobras.
The Contemporary Cobra replica is not a 2nd, 3rd or 4th generation copy of a body that was incorrect to start with. Ours is patterned directly from our founder"s(Peter Bayer) original SC Cobra that was purchased directly from Carrol Shelby, CSX3045, and comes complete with correctly shaped and flared rear fenders, and provisions for a 3-1/2"Le Mans fuel filler cap. Inner panels including front fender wells, floor pan/foot box assembly, and trunk liner are double bonded (bonded from both sides of the panel) to the body shell in a close tolerance assembly fixture which rendered proper alignment of all inner panels within the one-piece body shell. As delivered to the purchaser, the body, complete with inner panels is in effect a robust monocoque unit vs. the traditional "kit car" with its inner panels "pop riveted" to the body shell. An important Contemporary exclusive is that tubular steel substructure hoops (full tubular steel tube frames) have been bonded into the hood, door, and trunk openings, the rear lip of the driver/passenger compartment and leading edge of the cowl. The Contemporary 4" OD x 1/8" round-tube chassis is based on the original, but increased wall thickness reduces the flex inherent in the AC-built chassis; it combines rigidity superior to the "cut + weld" square/rectangular tube frames commonly used by replica manufacturers, while simultaneously providing lower mass/lighter weight, and of course is in keeping with the design and specifications of the original car." The round tube chassis is not only more authentic but more rigid and stronger which results in better handling and driving performance.
THIS IS A CLOSE AS YOU WILL GET TO THE ORIGINAL CAR AT 1/20 OF THE PRICE!
A STEAL FOR SUCH A BEAUTIFUL CAR. Tens of thousands were spent on the restoration. 100"s of labor hours and parts.
Why spend 50K on an inferior Factory Five kit car when you can own a true piece of history. Contemporary"s are the only true replica that increases in value over the other "kit cars"
Do yourself a favor and research Contemporary Cobra and you will see the difference.
Vehicle holds a clean VIRGINIA title. NO LIENS
