*** I AM RE-LISTING THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE PREVIOUS WINNING BIDDER FAILED TO OBTAIN FINANCING ***For sale is my 1965 Shelby Cobra – Superformance MK III w/ Shelby aluminum side oiler block FE 427 motor and MANY extras. THE CAR This 2008 Superformance Cobra MK III (SPO2814) was purchased from Dynamic Motor Sports of Ross. Ohio in April of 2008 and professionally completed in early 2009. It is what I consider to be the best combination of Indigo Blue with Wimbledon White stripes. Black leather interior. and 3” core ceramic-coated side pipes. No expensive was spared in building this Cobra. I have over $100. 00 in receipts. This Cobra was properly broken in w/proper adjustments made to the motor to include a recent Dyno Tune. This Cobra has had an oil change every 1000 miles (Joe Gibbs Racing – synthetic). Always securely stored in a climate-controlled garage. ** Registered as a 1965 Ford ** THE MOTOR Under the hood is a new Shelby Aluminum side oiler FE 427 block motor professionally built by Performance Engineering of Ross. Ohio that cost $30. 00 to complete. This Cobra is well into the mid 500’s in rear wheel HP and high 500’s in TORQUE (on pump gas). That’s a lot of power for a car that only weighs 2300 lbs. - Dynatek Weber 8-stack style electronic fuel injection - professionally adjusted - ZERO problems! - Shelby signature series aluminum heads - Scat 4. 250 stroke forged steel crank - Diamond forged pistons (9. 7 to 1) - Shelby signature series aluminum intake manifold - Crane custom hydraulic camshaft - Forged steel H-beam connecting rods - Roller rocker arms and billet stands - Ceramic coated headers - Period correct Shelby valve covers - MSD Pro-billet distributor - March pulley set - Shelby aluminum water pump - Remote oil filter w/re-usable filter - Avaid original style oil pan and windage tray (10 quarts total) - Upgraded/larger oil cooler and braided steel lines (10 quarts total) ** BEST PART - I am able to drive this Cobra around town in Texas during the summer and it WILL NOT over heat thanks to the oversized oil cooler and electric fans.
