Black-on-Black Cobra replica built by Ron Butler Racing. Carroll Shelby said of Butler Racing "Ron doesn't do anything that isn't first-class. He is one of the few old world craftsmen left." Butler, a crewmember for Carroll Shelby's racing team in the '60s, in the early 1980s melded his racing skills and knowledge of Shelby's Cobra into creating his very distinctive replica chassis, which boasts a 50/50 weight balance distribution that gives this black serpent superior performance and handling. Make sure you do research on the Ron Butler Racing Kit; it is truly a rare find! This rare and desirable Ron Butler Racing Cobra is in great condition! As you can see from the pictures, the paint is in great shape. This car has been adult owned and always maintained. With just over 5,000 miles on the car you know it was cared for. I have only seen one other Ron Butler replica with this rollbar and interior layout. Built and titled in 1984 with: · A strong, carbureted 351ci Windsor · Original and correct Ford close-ratio 4-speed manual toploader transmission [fitted with a Hurst shifter] · Jaguar E-type custom built Independent Rear Suspension · MG front suspension with rack & pinion steering, reinforced lower control arms. · Koni adjustable coil-over shocks, inboard disc brakes and heavy-duty halfshafts. · In the rear, adjustable shocks and custom hubs. This Cobra is a pleasure to drive, it starts right up, runs and drives excellent and never over heats on the hottest days even in traffic. All sales final. No warranty, written, expressed or implied.
