1965 Shelby Cobra For Sale in Bellevue , 2146378709 Tweet

*1965 ERA Cobra*There is little doubt that the Shelby Cobra is the quintessential American sports car. Its English roots paired with a powerful American V8 the Cobra took the fight to the Europeans and won on the track time and time again. With original cars now trading for deep in the 7-figure range it is of little surprise that numerous cottage industries have sprouted up producing recreations of this famed car. While some are better than others it is widely accepted that those produced by ERA are some of the best.This ERA 427 S/C is a perfect car to prove just how great these cars are. Finished in the classic Shelby color scheme of deep Indigo Blue with a pair of white over-the-top stripes even up close this car looks quite authentic and would be hard for anyone other than an expert to spot the differences. The car checks all the boxes that you look for on a 427 Cobra including side exhausts a LeMans-style quick fuel filler cap chrome Talbot mirrors and chrome roll hoop behind the driver. Of course the car sits on a set of Halibrand-style wheels with 3-ear knock offs in the center which are wrapped in a set of beefy Goodyear Eagle tires with white lettering.The interior is typically sparse Cobra with a pair of leather-wrapped bucket seats and a large 3-spoke wood rimmed steering wheel in front of the driver. White on black Stewart Warner instrumentation is true to the original as are the lapbelts for both seats. Open the small drivers door and drop down into the seat and the view out the hood is spectacular. The two large pontoon fenders situated out in front of you with a hood scoop down the center makes you feel like you are racing at LeMans even before youve left your driveway.Of course no Cobra would be complete without a serious engine sitting under the hood and this car is no exception. A Ford Racing 427ci Side-Oiler V8 stays very true to the original cars and has been further enhanced with Cobra valve covers. Sitting on top of the engine is a Holley 4bbl carburetor on an aluminum intake with the classic Turkey Pan air box which is meant to keep the hot under-hood air out. Power is then sent through a 4-speed Top Loader gearbox - once again like the original car- to the Jaguar-sourced rear end. The car has disc brakes at all four corners with the rears situated in-board thanks to the Jag hardware.The 427 Cobra is a wonderful car to drive with straight line performance that rivals many modern cars. The looks the sound the driving experience are all truly one of a kind and can be experienced here in very true to original form for a fraction of the price of a legitimate Shelby.*Key Features* * 427ci Side Oiler Ford Racing V8 * Aluminum Intake * Holley 4BBL Carburetor * Turkey Pan Air Box * Headers * Cobra Valve Covers * 4-Speed Top Loader Manual Gearbox * 15-Inch Halibrand Wheels * Goodyear Eagle Billboard Tires * Jaguar Independent Rear Suspension * Inboard Disc Brakes * Side Exhausts * Teardrop Bumper Overriders * LeMans-Style Filler Cap * Chrome Drivers Roll Hoop * Talbot Mirrors * 3-Spoke Steering Wheel * Wood/Aluminum * Stewart Warner Gauges*Additional Information* * Owners Manual * Service InvoicesFor more information on this 1965 ERA Cobra or any of our 150+ High-Performance Exotic Classic and Special Interest cars always in stock contact one of our friendly and knowledgeable sales consultants or always feel free to drop by our 40 000+ sq ft of Indoor Showrooms in Bellevue WA - Home of an Exciting Inventory of Luxury Exotic High Performance and Collectible Automobiles.
