I love all of Shelbys cars, the 66 Cobra is my dream car though, the concept is pretty nice too.

I saw this about a month ago or so and almost ruined a perfectly good pair of pants (that can be taken several ways...your choice). I think when (and if) it's produced it'll come close to the original AC Cobra's 12 second 0-100-0 performance. It's sad to see Shelby leaving the performance racket. I haven't liked all of his cars (mostly his team-ups with Dodge...the Shelby Omni, Charger, Durango, etc.), but he's one of the original "tuners" and has created some of the best and most collectible cars ever built. Much respect.

I still love the orig 427 cobras.. I actually want to build a kit.. I expect this car with be well over 100k. I'd take that engine in a second. I love the old style hilborn style intake.

That's pretty rare. If it's a side oiler in good shape those things will sell for close to $10K. I'd rather have a Boss 429 motor myself.:smoking:

Yea I love the BOSS 429.. they look so mean.. I dunno if hes talking about the motor.. ford 427? chevy? kinda vague there.

With a fart-can exhaust, a 5' tall wing, and lots of stickers, I'm sure I could beat it in a race!.....to tha junkyard. :bandit:

That's one badass automobile. I'm also sad to see Shelby leave the market.

No it's a ford...i think I'm wrong...sorry.
I think it's a 428 Super Cobra Jet?

428SCJ's aren't too hard to come by...but by no means as plentiful as a 302 or 351. They went into everything from Mustangs to Torinos to luxury cars. They can still be made to run like raped apes though.

I have a friend that was building a replica cobra. He has a majority of the parts from chrome jag coilovers, and an Authentic 427. He's had it partially put together, but has never finished it. What a shame.
