1966 Shelby Cobra - West Coast 427 'Stallion-style' Cobra. Built in 1991-1994. Harley Davidson Birch White/Buckskin. Red team stripes. West Coast Cobras are recognized as “the big man’s Cobra”; providing more comfort and legroom in the cockpit (6 inches longer, 4 inches wider than standard), gran prix driving comfort and road handling stability. This car was designed from the ground up to provide perfect 50-50% front/rear weight balance with a big block motor. The tremendously rigid TIG-welded tubular steel space frame has a monocoque backbone providing torsional stiffness while maintaining safety energy zones of controlled penetration. The ¼” single-piece fiberglass construction of the main body along with the double-walled doors, hood and trunk provide superior strength yet lighter weight. Additional driver and passenger safety features include a FULL roll bar that integrates directly into the frame, double wall construction throughout the tunnel and firewall, a substantial steel subframe within the doors designed to minimize side crash impacts, and a custom aluminum fuel cell safely isolated from potential collision. Under the hood: ’71 Ford/Lincoln big-block V8, 429 cid bored over an additional .30 - 450 hp/393 tq at rear. Outfitted with: an aluminum Edelbrock Performer 460 intake manifold, Holley 926 cfm carburetor, Cobra Jet aluminum heads, brushed aluminum headers & sidepipes with sidepipe guards, full MSD ignition set-up (includes multiple spark discharger, tach adapter, adjustable spark timing control and MSG Blaster), Edelbrock chromed bow-tie air cleaner, Cobra 429 valve covers, rack n pinion power steering.

Geartrain: GM 700 R4 O/D tranny, w B/M automatic shifter, Ford 9" rear. Chassis, suspension, braking: coil-over front & rear suspension, rack & pinion steering. Wilwood brakes (4-wheel disc). Rolling stock: American Racing aluminum Shelby rims fitted with BF Goodrich Radial T/A rubber [265/50Rx15" front; 295/50Rx15" rear]. In the (grand touring-outfitted) cockpit: Durable high quality buckskin-colored boat leather (rain resistant), deep bucket seats with R.J.S. 5-point racing harnesses (for both driver & passenger).
