Seller's comments about 1963' Shelby Cobra

Experience the classic Shelby Cobra driving style with modern driving technology - the reflection of a racing legend. This authentic FIA replica from Superformance offered here focuses on the performance and design of the original 1960s racing cars. By the way, this is an officially licensed Shelby model thanks to Superformance's exclusive agreement with Carroll Shelby. The Cobra impresses with its authentic appearance and modern technology, paired with the classic design and driving experience of the 1960s. The Cobra's lightweight AC Ace-derived chassis (total weight only 970 kg!) in combination with the powerful Ford V8 gives the sports car a significant advantage over European competitors such as Ferrari and Porsche. This MKII is based on the successful Tojeiro-style round tube chassis, a light yet stable construction that can withstand the concentrated power of a V8. Paired with a transverse leaf suspension, this ensures an exceptionally authentic driving experience that is as close to the original as possible and faithfully recreates the cornering feeling of the racing drivers of the time. Painted in the original color Viking Blue with yellow FIA stripes, white 15-inch FIA-style rims and subtle accessories, this vehicle is not only a visual statement, but also technically a lightweight with racing genes.VEHICLE DETAILS & EQUIPMENT Body: Fiberglass, Viking Blue with FIA stripes Interior: Leather seats, door pockets, original switches & displays (Stewart Warner), trunk carpet and tarpaulin Rims & tires: White Trigo central locking wheels Firestone 215/60 R15 (front & rear) Other features: Gear lever and handbrake lever in the original design "Bullet Style" side mirrors Bumper horns Ceramic coated Headers/exhaust manifoldsAluminum high-performance cooling system14-gallon stainless steel fuel tank, equivalent to 53 litersHarrison expansion tankStainless steel bumper hornsOMP sports steering wheel / Moto-Lita wooden steering wheel optionally availableOMP 4-point seat belts DRIVE & TECHNOLOGYEngine: Roush V8 (powerful & reliable)Transmission: Manual Tremec 5-speed differential: ZF limited-slip differential (3.45:1 gear ratio) Chassis: Reinforced tubular frame chassis in Tojeiro style (3 inches) Leaf spring suspension with adjustable front and rear shock absorbers Braking system: Internally ventilated disc brakes 4-piston Wilwood brake system (hydraulic, 2-circuit) Conclusion - This rare AC Shelby Cobra 289 offers a fascinating combination of classic racing design and modern technology.
