Cobra replicas are just about the most fun you can have on four wheels, and those with big power like this very nicely built red 1966 Shelby Cobra provide an experience that's pretty close to the original. That's a built 302 under the hood, and it's backed by a Tremec 5-speed and a performance suspension that's more than up to the job of putting the power down. The Shelby Cobra kit is by Classic Roadsters, LTD, and if you're familiar with new Cobras, they've been at it longer than almost anybody. The design captures the curves and scoops of the original. Finish quality is extremely good . The doors line up right, the hood fits flush, and the vivid red paint gives the brutal cobra a high-impact look that doesn't need stripes to look amazing. The hood scoop is a slightly unusual piece that actually looks great and it feeds air directly into the stout 302 underneath. The usual Cobra styling cues like a chrome roll bar for the driver, stubby bumpers, and Lucas-style taillights all help with authenticity. Beautiful tan leather bucket seats give the interior a custom look, but upon closer inspection you'll see that it pretty much sticks to the original recipe. A beautiful wood-rimmed steering wheel is a correct reproduction and the retro gauges are from Classic Instruments and look fairly similar to AC's original Smiths dials. The shifter is linked to a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission, which really gives this car a wide performance envelope. Toggle switches for the ancillary functions also add an authentic touch, and while it's got a stereo and heater, this is still a back-to-basics roadster that's built for combat. The trunk is also nicely finished with brown carpets and a nice flat floor, so it'll carry a surprising amount of gear on your next road trip. The engine is a strong-running 302 that was prepped by Performance Associates and dyno tested to be sure it's delivering Cobra-spec horsepower. It's full of high-quality components, including a set of Edelbrock aluminum heads, an oversized cam, and roller rockers. With a Holley 4160 carburetor and an aluminum intake, it grunted out a dyno-verified 308 rear wheel horsepower and 340 pounds of torque. In the lightweight Cobra, that's enough horsepower to make things very entertaining without the hassles of a mega-horsepower powerplant. It certainly looks the part of a Cobra powerplant and with chrome side pipes, it has an awe-inspiring sound. The aforementioned Tremec 5-speed offers a towering overdrive gear, so even on the highway, this Cobra is pretty civilized. Wilwood front Disc brakes with standard disc reaers, rack-and-pinion steering, tubular A-arms, and adjustable coil-over shocks make this Cobra feel plenty lively when the road starts to twist. Handsome Halibrand-style alloys are fitted with 245/60/15 front and 295/50/15 rear BFGoodrich rubber, giving it the ideal Cobra stance. As beastly as it can be, it still idles smoothly and is an easy car to cruise around town. Bullet mirrors mounted on front fenders, sun visors and wind wings. Vintage Air heater, Kenwood stereo with remote, USB hookup, Simpson 5 point racing harness. Comes with receipts and dyno sheet. Titled as a 1966 Ford.
