  • I like the speedometer.

  • nothing like an all american V8

  • my god!! i just got a hard on!! uhhha rahhhh

  • Sounds excellent..............

  • this raised my pulse quite a bit

  • wait.... ahaha does that speedo go counter-clockwise?

  • Very nice video :-)

  • hahaha sooooooo not sly burnin up the road, made me laff! this is my fav car of all time, u lucky guy, just dont fuckin kill urself in it!

  • how much hp?

  • Hats off sir...you showed remarkable restraint. :)

  • this car has the greatest engine sound on the planet

  • GREAT CAR MAN.

  • Almost unlimited power is a given, but I guess the hard part is to harness and hone it into a nice handling smooth riding package that's not always fighting back ?!!

  • Love the sound of the engine, but there's several times I was hoping you'd upshift and let the car run...

  • You got a little squirrelly on the way back, nice.

  • Its my dream! One day I want to build a Factory Five cobra (when I can afford to do so). Mine will probably have a very modest engine setup...a 306 without very big mods on it... maybe something around 300HP. I'm thinking a light car light that will feel plenty fun with a mild smallblock. Great video!

  • Great ride mate! Have fun!

  • Comment removed

  • @kenev66 I'll be more thatn happy to view your video of you in the super car that you built by hand and give you my assessment of your first driving experience behind the wheel of a car that will outrun a Ferrari Enzo. Oh, wait. You're youtube experience is a vidoe of somone snoring.... Yup. You got me!

  • Where did you shoot this video?

  • @HarrisonXL  Islands Causeway, Beaufort, SC

  • @65Cobra427 Thats awesome! I have family in Beaufort so I'll have to check it out when we visit them. Thanks!

  • @65Cobra427 i live on lake murray sc and i go to beaufort all the time. sweet ride though

  • @65Cobra427 Great video. The car sounds awesome !!

  • @65Cobra427 You have a nice chin

  • @65Cobra427 *Is here because is 17, and elder told me to watch the gumball rally movie* :)

  • @mohiahmed1 I just watched that last night!

  • my step dad built a replica one of these...

  • AACENENANO CATRIEEEL!!!

  • AACENENANO CATRIEEEL!!!

  • great vid, perfect placement on the camera plus car is ass kicking! thinking of buying one ,does your car have power or manuel steering, plus does that badboy got a heater in it? Love it! Thankx

  • 65Cobra427....Thanks for the reply. Never mind I'll just "suffer" my loud pipes.

  • thanks for not putting some crappy music over such a awesome sounding machine.

  • I've got a replica Cobra in Australia and I'm looking for a quieter exhaust...Yours sound really nice..what is the muffler set up ? sounds nice and quiet !

  • @tinnedanger I used the standard exhaust supplied by Factory Five and Hooker long tube headers. I had a filter over the mike to eliminate wind noise and it makes the car appear quieter. Sorry to burst your bubble.

  • @tinnedanger wait...you want a quiet cobra?

  • @otis84031 YEP ! At the time my Cobra was measuring 115 dB at idle....If I was standing beside you and shouting you would have found it hard to hear me. I have experimented and built an exhaust (still in sidepipes) that now measures 93 dB at idle.  It's still loud but MUCH quieter than before.

  • how much did this thing cost you?

  • Made in America.

  • @qutip14 Only the engine. :P

  • holy shit this thing must breathe civics through its intake...

  • Great sound! I like.

  • well that 30 sign was noticed. awesome car!

  • cant be enough replicas. nice car

  • Awesome car and was lucky enough to drive my friends before he sold it, since that day it has been my top dream car :P as for the 427 engine i believe it was not shelby's idea as ford had promised him there Ford aluminium block the 390, but ford changed there mind so he had to do his best with the heavier 427 engine, and what a great job he did. But the only ever problem I have ever had with this car was the fact that this car was the reason there are national speed limits on the uk's motorways

  • @daver32gtr don't know where you got your info, but the 427 is a larger displacement version of the 390 (which was cast-iron... aluminum motors were EXTREMELY rare in 1963) , they're both FE engines... and ford originally gave him 260's to put in his new car, then 289's, then Shelby installed a 390 as an experiment... eventually he began producing them in race trim with 427's, but few 427 Cobras actually had them... most had the much more affordable 428, which was another engine entirely.

  • I love pure American heavy iron.......SCREW IMPORTS......

  • @usivio980 Cobras were built in England...

  • @t45tube The AC car was built in england, but Carrol Shelby took the car and put his big Ford 427 Racing Side Oiler's in them. he raced them at Le Mans which is what they became famous for. The AC car? yes England.

    The 427 Cobra that you see burning out on youtube? Straight American Muscle

  • @t45tube noooo they wernt bro ac cobra's the crapy ones were made in england

  • @tw3steds3lf actually the rolling chassis were imported from England until the car's discontinuation in 1967... all Shelby did was install the drivetrain and finish the cars at his shop in California and then move them.

  • I never get tired of this video, very well done!

  • I get whiplash in mine all the time. Ten minutes is like two hours. Impractical? Loud? Yeah!

  • I can remember reading a road test in a 1965 issue of Motor Trend on the 427 AC Shelby Cobra and what I remember most, 46 years after reading it, was their comment about being able to break the rear wheels loose @ more than 100 miles per hour in a 4th gear power shift. Now that is really really really impressive, eh?

  • johnnyo032003 ~ First off, gawd only knows what somebody would want for a tight 427 SOHC motor. I mean, really, you could probably buy a 3 bedroom house for less money. I lived at SoCal dragstrips from late '63 until drafted (Vietnam) in 1969. There was a time when the 427 SOHC Ford was bad bad shit, on gas or fuel. Kaletta won Top Fuel at the '67 Winternationals with an SOHC Ford top fueler. The 427 high rise in this freakin' little body is waaaay more than enough.

  • Nothing sounds like a Cobra, what a machine.

  • how are you not grinning the entire time your driving that... i can't help but smile why i drive my 99 svt cobra.. i would die if i got to drive that

  • what do these things cost?

  • would love to build a cobra like this and instead of a crate big block, put in the SHO v6 or the new mustang v6 with some mods, give it a little higher pitch, so some ricer kid can laugh at me for not having a 427, then I can show him that that dont mean nothing if you use the right engine. upgraded turbos on a SHO motor would easily be close to or better than a stock 427, although its cheaper to build a 427... I think the gas mileage would be much better though...

  • gawd i love that noise!..

  • Guys looking around like he's going to tell a racist joke...

  • thatsone of the best videos ive seen on y-tube!....holy shit!....you feel like like your inside the friggin' car!....good stuff!

  • how much do they cost to own one today?

    

  • @Sergeeize this is a factory five kit car. they give you parts except motor and tranny. all in all to build one youll need 35,000 to get all the parts and then your own time to build it.

  • Sick car man. Sounds amazing.

  • Nice teeth

  • @bradkrit jjajjaa nice car but bad teeth!!! agree!!

  • Nice road, nice driving, nice car!!

  • that baby is smooth! saaweeeeeeeeeeet

  • Awesome  !!

  • A real car!! No match, still.

  • That is the only way to roll!!!! NO RADIO!!!!! A good sounding V-8 should NEVER have a stereo installed!!!!

  • @Blap56 Youre a dumbass

  • What a great road.

  • I love this video. I have no idea how many times I've watched it! A fabulous car and a gorgeous noise!

    Why do some people ruin their videos with pointless music?

    Thank you for posting it - unadulterated!

    IM 8)

  • you need to drive that baby through a tunnel ;)

  • Great video. Fantastic sound. Thank you for posting without music. I'll be watching this for quite a few times before the novelty wears off.

  • thank you for not putting and music on

  • @MegaNickbrown i totally agree

  • a TRUE bad ass car.

  • il borbottio di un v8 americano ...

  • i love videos where people have no music added or anything. the sound of the engine alone is music :D

  • at least he opens it up at 2:50...NICE!!

  • i miss my kit,, bought it from ebay no motor or tranny, swapped in a procharged 331 and man what a fun car

  • Finally a big grin at 3:20! lol I'd be grinning like an idiot through that whole ride, thanks for the great video ;)

  • NOW THAT'S A MOTOR!!!

  • great video. so glad to hear the engine instead of techno or rap crap.

  • wow man, your car sounds great

  • i bet you intimidate the kids in civics lol.

  • this piece of "junk" sounds damn nice;)

  • is it just me or does that look like jason statham

  • Awesome car, awesome video (thank you for the ambient engine sounds!)

    question: Is it normal for this car to have a speedometer that goes counterclockwise? Or is that something you added?

  • @brycepunk The l963 , l964, l965, l966, l967 Original cobras had speedos that ran counterclockwise,,very cool ! very old school !

    D

  • Awesome. Can't wait to do mine someday.

  • Lovely ! !

  • Very nice vid...congrats on the car! Thanks for no "personal Soundtrack"! The car is tits!

  • Very nice vid...congrats on the car!

  • These guy dont know how to drive a car with manual transmision

  • Great upload and thanks for not dubbing in music. Love the sound of that engine.

  • Looks like fun!

  • If i would have a car like this, i'd be like this > :] while im driving :D

  • Beautiful car and beautiful place.

  • Nice run but how did you manage not to smile the whole way?? I'm smiling just watching it. Thanks for posting this.

  • love the z3 at 2:00 lol

    he was jealous

  • OMG it's steve mcqueen!!!!!

  • This car sucks, my car is way faster than this POS! I'm kidding of course. You own my all time dream car, eventually I will own one, it sounds sexy as hell... lucky bastard ;)

  • 30 k for a car like this isnt bad... there light. with a lot of hp... motor on wheels lol...

  • Thanks, 65Cobra427. This was my therapy for this evening.

  • Thanx man. No only did I really enjoy that video. I kinda depressed me a little bit too. I have my baby (a really clean and modded 1970 mach1 fastback) sitting in my parents garage down in Florida. I live in NY and haven't fired up or driven her in what must be over 3 yrs now. Now that I think about it..That sucks! Watching your vid made me realize that it's way past time that I do something about that! Thanx again for the video..that was fun.

  • lol at the start you can see him scanning the area to see if there are any cops watching;-) nice video

  • shelby cobra is always amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Pay no mind to these Youtube trolls.  Thanks for the great video of your Cobra.

  • Great street run. That car sounds great!

  • This sure sounded great, and looked like FUN!!

  • Maybe 1/4 throttle @ 2:50

    Wipes tear @ 3:24

    Am I jealous?

    Uh...yeah.

    But only tremendously.

  • What? No glove compartment?? :) 14 people who've seen this are definitely gay. Awesome vid, sends tingles thru my malebag.

  • it says test run..not whats the max speed....there are old pilots and there are bold pilots...but there are not many old bold pilots..drive safe...

  • This sends chills up my spine. Favorited! and liked!

  • Bow down to the god of muscle cars! Awesome video!

  • @AmericanThunder shame they were never raced because they couldn't handle on roads, if only the engineers were italian or german, or even british it might, just might have had a chance, americans just can't seem to make cars handle and the engine also sounds like berty basset wine gums and genocide with a bit of hungry horace thrown in for good measure, sort of like a worm or one eyed trouser snake, maybe in a hundred years america will evolve a little to become equal to the rest of the world.

  • @knutfheifer Eh, I hope we don't start making stuff that sounds like European cars, I prefer more masculine sounding engines, and I don't need a car to handle the road for me, I can drive quite well with my own skill. To each his own, I suppose.

  • @AmericanThunder We could start making machines that sound like buttered walnuts and whizz them into living rooms covered in beef sauce and eat apples while they roar into flames with a good old cheeseburger on the side with chocolate mumps

  • @knutfheifer Oh, you're just another troll, I had hoped for more. Nevermind.

  • @AmericanThunder America is trying to deal witht he real threats of life, the bomb, over population, nuclear activity, greed for oil and corruption, but you, yes you! you msit at home and make pitta bread sndwiches with salami rind and big pumps of tomoto sauce (ketchup) and then you fart big pumps and eat at buck rogers, hope this helps

  • @knutfheifer

    Uh, are you serious? Cobra's dominated the race tracks in Europe in the late 60's.

  • @ieast007 Thats right, but you have to remember that they only dominated it for a very short while because the internals of the engines were made of chocolate, especially ford engines that start melting and burning oil, plus the geometry of these cars were set up wrong, giving ferrari a chance to take the lead again and this time forever, they do look not too bad bur you have to remember that it is a british design car, if it just had better internals it would have been an icon and classic

  • You got the perfect car!!!!!

  • this car is amazing. even more fun to drive.....

    ps jeff is Andy Jr,

  • this car is amazing, even more fun to drive. +)

  • @65Cobra427 Nevermind the hater douchebags with TransAm FireTurds. You've got a stylish, healthy, lightweight car with a Ford big block. Who the hell cares about some ugly piece of shit T/A..... you've got one hell of a sweet car here, man! =)

  • i like the mirror haha

  • I love how that thing just picks up speed like a motherfucker!!

  • What a beautiful car! I love the sound of the engine music. Thanks for posting the video, and happy motoring with that awesome Cobra!

  • how can you drive that car and not even smiling

  • @borntobewild20 Driving a 500+HP, 2500LB car is serious business...But, TRUST ME...He's smiling on the inside! ;)

  • @GTRaycer sure its serious business,i dont say it isn´t :P

    ohyes he has to smile like the grinch on the inside

  • nice car and video :-) and ur looking like bruce willis on his way to the coffeehouse thx dude :-)

    gymman62

  • Awesome cobra!

  • I would sell my house for a cobra!!

  • i love this car!!! sounds great!!!

  • 2:52 pussssssyy

  • Anyone who doesnt like this video is just jealous. Ive got a big block 4-spd Corvette, and even Im a little jealous...but this video, the car, and the driving are all awesome.

  • nice machine you got there!

  • do all of the speedometers work with a reverse sweep in these cars?

    how many times have you scared yourself with her lol

  • Who are the weird MFs that don't like this?? !!

  • @waynerjson probably the same folks who have the 'mine is bigger than yours' complex.

  • Well I have to say it certainly doesn't sound like a replica

  • that is awesome, and 35K is not bad at all.  Sweet video. Car sounds great!!!

  • Bad Ass!!! 

  • 12 people are jealous of your nice Cobra !! :>)

  • what kind of gas mileage do you get with the 427w

  • The cool thing about replicars is that you can actually drive them, without feeling bad for doing so.

  • Cold wet roads, that was good enough. I little more sliding burnout at low speeds would have been fun.

  • The sound of that engine makes me purrrr! You car guys are all so hot! Thanks for the video.

  • whats with the speedo going anti clock wise ,ive never seen that before ,car sounds awesome:)

  • Well driven. Sounds like a nice car. Dudemate, Smiths speedo's in the S/C's worked in reverse.

  • Very nice sound

    Take it easy out there. I wrapped my car around a pole

  • whys your speedo going the wrong way

  • Even though I'm a Dodge fan, your engine sounds sweet !!! Cool car man. Any video of you ripping through all 4 gears on a straight stretch? That, I would like to hear!

  • Excellent! One of the better in-car videos on YouTube - Thanks!

  • Like very much*******

  • 66 cobra sexiest car in the world

  • Wonderful, my dad used to have a kit just like this but due to financial probs it had to go.. oh man.. as a kid I had such a big grin being in this car.. the sound, the acceleration.. and the bet.. the bet of taking money from the screen when he accelerated.. yup I lost! damn you dad! :) love this car..

  • awesome! and try not to kill yourself xD

  • where can you get these kits?

  • "speed limit 30"

    fuck the system.
