Seller's comments about 1965' Shelby Cobra Replica

425 hp at 1,007 kg... that says it all!This Shelby Cobra 427 MK4 (Factory Five Replica) is a tribute to the golden era of motorsport, when Carroll Shelby proved that a massive American V8 in a lightweight British roadster body could turn the sports car world order on its head.This example is not a stripped-down kit build. It is a professional "Tomaszo PS" body that combines uncompromising racing technology with a look that you would otherwise only find in museums or on the starting grid of historic races.Design & ExcellenceThe visual highlight is the elaborate multi-layer paintwork in classic white with red twin stripes. This design was implemented by none other than Dominik and Knud Tiroch - the masters of their craft, known worldwide for their work in the Formula 1 circus (Toro Rosso / Red Bull). Every detail, from the historic Carroll Shelby logo to the race stripes, is elaborately painted - there is no foil here! The skull logo on the doors, however, is stuck on and can be easily removed if necessary.Technology & stabilityUnder the hood breathes a V8 Ford block that has been fine-tuned on the test bench with just 7,250 km of mileage. With roller rocker arms, Edelbrock Performer RPM cylinder heads and a "double pumper" Holley carburetor (650 CFM air flow), the unit produces a toxic 425 hp. Thanks to the MSD ignition system and the electronic fuel pump, the engine is absolutely stable and spins confidently up to 6,000 rpm. Particular attention was paid to thermal management to guarantee full reliability even when driving sportily: massive oil cooler plus manually switchable additional fan for cooling stability even under load. This means the Cobra always remains in the optimal temperature range, even on hot days or in city traffic.Chassis & SafetyChassis: Fully adjustable Öhlins chassis (rebound and compression) for precise feedback and road holdingBrakes: Solid Wilwood system that safely captures the power at all timesTransmission: Tremec T5 for crisp, precise gear changesSafety: Chrome roll bar screwed to the frame and Simpson 5-point beltsInteriorEven for This Cobra offers tall enthusiasts (over 1.90 m) enough space thanks to the special Kirkey racing bucket seats (like the carpet, these are black) and the well-thought-out ergonomics. Classic leather, an elegant 3-spoke wooden steering wheel with "Cobra" emblem and polished stainless steel details round off the authentic cockpit.
