Vehicle Detail
Custom 427 West Coast Cobra 25th Anniversary Edition An American performance machine with both traditional and contemporary features A longer wheel base and wider track provide a lower center of gravity with a 50% front- 50% rear weight distribution as well as a larger cockpit with more leg room. 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. Superior suspension designs include coil-over shocks on all 4 corners with unequal length upper and lower control arms on the front and a triangulated trailing arm design on the rear. A 4-wheel power disc brake system is engineered specifically for this car and features front-rear dual master cylinders. A variable ratio power rack-and-pinion steering system features an energy absorbing (collapsible) steering column with an adjustable tilt steering wheel. The luxurious looking interior features fully finished out leather-like surfaces with custom designed high back adjustable bucket seats and a burl wood dash panel that houses a compliment of 10 VDO gauges. Chrome accents and color coordinated carpeting complete the rich but tasteful appearance. For acoustical excellence, an Eclipse 8-volt high power CD receiver controls 3 JL amplifiers providing 1300 watts of power to twin 10” JL subs and 8 different MB Quart speaker configurations all professionally showcased with Monster connecting components and acoustically tuned with DYNOMAT THROUGHOUT. A removable hardtop also integrates speakers with courtesy lights and can be securely attached to the body with strategic fasteners.
