My dad has a replica Shelby AC Cobra. This car is sooooo badass, weve had it for liek 6 years now, and it has like 100 miles on it.... Here some pics of it.

Front view, and yes those stripes continue underneith the car too...
Another view
The undercarriage is as clean as the top, the frame was custom built by a race shop for road racing, with coilovers alla round, with tublular eveything..
351w built for road racing, went with the 351 for the less weight than the 427 big block, better for the track.

I got plenty more pics if yall would liek to see more....

Looks nice, but who's body was it built around? (FFR, ERA, etc?) Specail frame? I ordered my FFR with the 3-link and racing suspension bits, and put on 4-wheel discs to whoa that puppy down!

Only 100 miles? YECH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Trailer queen! amnit: Get it out & BEAT IT!!!! :Track: I got my FFR on the road in July, and already put over 2000 miles on it, including two track events!



Drive it, beat it, whup it, mash the gas, let those ponies out, find out what it's capable of!!!

(yes, you can tell I'm a street guy!)

Nice car, great paint detail.

The undercarriage photo shows what appears to be a heavy square tube frame with outriggers. Is that normal?

Nice car, but kind of a travesty to have 427 emblems on there when it has a 351w in it. Maybe if it was a stroker 351w out to 427. Just my opinion though. Oh, BTW, an aluminum block, aluminum headed, aluminum intake FE will weigh the same as an all iron 351w, plus, you can stroke the aluminum FE to about 540". The difference in weight between a original 427 and an original 351w is only 150#, the aluminum block weighs 90# less than the iron one, an iron FE intake weighs 80#!!!

Downside? You don't have enough cage to be legal for 700+HP in that light of car, plus you'd need big cajones driving a short wheelbase car like that, it'd be SCARY fast. Yeah, maybe ought to just keep it a 351w car....

Mine gets scary with just 5 liters! But it's GREAT in the turns at speed, and deep braking is always a test of bravery!
