1966 Shelby Cobra RestorationNo expense was spared in restoring this replica/kit of the 1966 American Made Muscle that sent the Europeans packing for years...I found this legend in a warehouse in Virginia and fell in love with it. Originally a Cali Kit on a solid xframe that makes it strong as a tank, the revitalized 351W bored 30 over with a new Holly 4bbl will blister everything on the road except maybe that Lamborghini your weird neighbor shelled out $200,000.00 for so he could stare at in his garage. (Even his blond wife knows the difference between a 60's Muscle Car and a tuned up Hyundai - but that's a whole 'nother story.)Disclaimer: Although it is solid enough to be a daily driver, and it gets better mileage than my Tahoe, if your other car is a Prius,This head-turning harlot is not for you. Although this legend hugs corners like a rattlesnake in a rat hole, if you believe the entrance ramp speed is actually 35 miles per hour,This nimble little lady is not for youWhen you look at the reverse sweep AutoMeter speedometer and it begs you to consider 180 instead of 55, and if you don't at least break a smile,This white knuckle wench is not for you.If you are a Master Mechanic that likes to carry a set of tools and constantly tweak a car to keep it running,This tight little tart is not for you.If you think "The Dragon's Tail" is a Bruce Lee movie,This Beast is not for you. But, If you have balls of steel, love the adrenalin rush of 0 to 60 in less than 3 seconds, and the ladies know that you aren't compensating for a damn thing,This is your baby.If you like white knuckles and understand why dogs hang their head out of the window,This is your new sweetheart. The Build:Lot's of mods were added to make this beauty perform as well as she looks. The Powerplant - And I DO mean Power. A 351Windsor bored 30 over, with a new Holly 4bbl, Etched Cobra valve covers and a Ribbed Cobra air cleaner. New Distributor, HP wires, hoses, and on and on... Just enough chrome to leave your hood up at the car show and still look like a racer. Can't tell you how many times JUDGES asked me if it was a REAL one... At the shows, I left tickets under the wiper arm for fun. There was always a crowd wrenching their curious little necks to see the speed.Transmission - The T5 transmission was rebuilt recently and shifts as smooth as a stick of butter. I added the Cobra shifter to complete the racer feel and function. It was the perfect shifting experience - makes you want to shift two or three times. Cooling System - New Aluminum radiator keeps this hot little lady cool. A pair of power fans were added for show but, can be functional if you are stuck in traffic. BTW - If you are stuck in traffic, you are doing something wrong.Miscellaneous Mods - Tripod headlights like original equip, repositioned rear view mirror, Heat Shields (Burned the crap out of my leg) New American Racing Cobra wheels all around, new Goodrich performance tires all around. 4 wheel disc brakes. Simpson Racing harness lap belts.Custom Dash and instrumentation - All new matching AutoMeter gauges with a reverse sweep 180mph speedometer. Everything works - see pictures. This custom work with aircraft style cobalt toggles is a unique design that is as functional as it is beautiful. Chrome Fire extinguisher polishes it off perfectly. Issues:It's a used car. There are little things here and there that are not perfect. There's a 1" mark in the fiberglass above the right rear wheel. There are compression splinters on the bumpers. There is a baffle that rattles in the right side pipe occasionally. If you're not careful, you can burn the crap out of yourself on the side pipes not covered by the heatshields. Why didn't I fix them if they are so minor? Cause I'm on to another project and if YOU fix it, it becomes YOUR project. If you ask, I'll knock $500.00 off to fix all of it. I know, what a guy. Right? There is no warranty offered, expressed, or implied in any way, shape, or form. That should do it. Questions: You are welcome to call , but let me answer a few questions up front: Why are you selling this Machine of the Gods? College, Cancer, and our Nation's Capitol. Let's not go there again.Will you take a check? Hahahahaha... You crack me up.Will you tale $29.95 and a trade and finance the rest? I am not a bank, a dealer, or an idiot. I posted it for what I needed. Let's go with that.Would this be a good car for my 16 year old? Not if you ever want to see him again.Seriously, do you take a bank check? Seriously, do you want to stay in town until I can cash it? I really, really, like cash.Do you require a deposit? There is a $500.00 nonrefundable deposit required within 24 hours of auction close. No exceptions.Can I wait till my tax return comes back next year to pay? The balance is due within 3 days unless arrangements are made with me. Communication is a blessing.I have negative feedback. Is that OK? I feel your pain. No. Goodbye.Why are you such a prick? Out of 650 transactions, I have 1 negative feedback. Someone wanted something for nothing and got it cause I was a nice guy. I'm not over it. Ok, so you have a question... Rob 828-729-7550
