My Unlce god rest his soul used to own one.....he told me one day I could drive it if I wanted to...........I should have known something was up when he said that lol I'm 6'5 340 pounds safe to say that he, at 5'7 140 pounds knew I wouldn't be able to fit in it lmfao................damn I miss him.......OH I never got to drive or ride in the car.....I'm to damn big lmfao
@Stone469 If I were you, I would go to extreme diet just to drive the car :-) It doesn't matter, it's never late, lose the weight and then go buy one on your own!
in my opinion, this is better than any bmw, mercedes, bugatti, or lamborgini. Those cars simply just dont have the sex appeal of a classic shelby cobra.
@AANate007 my grandfather owns a special racing edition of a '67 427 cobra and it is 1 of 3.. Its sound will send the skin on your face flying back.. It's a very very loud car.
All seem like fine replicas but if you don't install a stroked 427 small Ford block, a 428CJ or a 427 side oiler in this little missile and presume to fly the 427 SC logo... it is just decoration and will always be worth less than you paid someone to create it for you. Most have probably also not gone the extra mile with the installation of a Jag style rearend, independent suspension and inboard brakes. Let alone the bastardized freaks that pretend to the throne. Chevy's, 5.0 EFI pretenders. UGH
@414pwz yeah, exactly, I'm 6' 2", a nd half my chest, all my left arm and head were up a bit,, you have to learn how to slouch a bit. The seats in mine had the right amount of recline and lumbar support...made for hours of good driving comfort. :)
i've been in a ferrari, lamborghini, viper, m5, aston, all kinds of muscle cars, etc., and none of them give the sensory overload of a cobra; the head snap acceleration, the roar of those sidepipes, the smell of tire smoke, the perfect lines of the body. speed and power in the absolute raw. if i had to pick the closest, it's a viper. and, if you want to do one of these replicas the right way, count on spending 50k.
To answer a few questions, an original 66 or 67 AC Cobra with a 427 will cost between 500k and 2 million depending on miles, shape, and original parts. Carols twin supercharged 67 exact to spec all original Cobra Super Snake went for 5.5 million. On the other hand, you can get a replica like these for 19k complete or 12k do it yourself. A super deal on a good 427 will be around 5 thousand Off Craigs. This doesnt include any extras like intake, exhaust, suspension, trani, or the rest (for 12k)
@MrDyldevil 1 million? is that really serious? i mean for that price u might as well go for a Ferrari f40 just for another few hundred thousand lol but seriously they really go for that much i was guessing 500k max but damn
@TheSub1000 In a quarter mile drag race the Cobra (550bhp) can beat a Corvette ZR1 (639bhp) because the Cobra is so much lighter. (about 1000lbs lighter) On a racing circuit, however, the ZR1 will turn faster lap times due to it's newer technology.
@GTRaycer It's not technology that makes the ZR1 a better handler, it's just better suspension setup for that purpose. Most cobras were designed for handling but more of a nascar-type instead of a tight racing circuit. You CAN make a cobra with independent rear suspension that can outhandle a ZR1 though...but it takes work.
11 sec 1/4 mile with 460 bhp? THat car must be weighing like nothing because 11 sec is hella fast for only 460 hp. normal car i'ld guess like 650 or 700 bhp minimum for an 11 sec quarter mile.... just wondering...
btw nice cars...... classic and powerful, yet timeless and beautiful...^^
Great Car. take a look at mine. Less glossy, but a true 1966 car on wires with rear exit pipes. Film shows a short blast across dartmoor national Park in the UK accompanied by T Rex.
I was a teenager when Ford was racing. They kicked all the european cars butts. The Cobra,the Sebring and the GT 40 are STILL rockets. 427 Cobra 0 to 60 mph in 3.2 sec and back to 0 in4.4 sec. That exhaust sound is real 100% American music. Thank you Mr. Shelby!!
M dad still has his own in the garage... I've only drivn it twice and its 10 years old.. But DAMN its still got the sweatest sound i've ever heard on any car.
Good thing I wasn't there. I'd of had an orgasm every 20 seconds walking around drooling, with a stupid smile on my face, doing the herky jerky like the bug from men in black 2.
What i'am gonna do, for now i'am 20, i'am gonna spare money for parts, tools and such, not wasting anything i can afford to spare, not getting girlfriends(they cost mostly), work early, spare what i can, so i can build me an Cobra with a 427 engine, aluminium body, i think i take classic blue paint with white stripes, or black or red, nice colours, i will take sporty leather seats, painted wood panel with cromed gauges, alu block to decrease weight and alot of other stuff, just w8 and see :)
that is called wasting your time :) . Just enjoy what everything , spare some for your car and build it up slowly , as a past time/enjoyment it will be much more rewarding since you wont miss out on live. + Since your 20 im guessing still in Uni/thinking of it / trying/ want to .. etc. After finishing you can get a job witch pays more and you can do it faster or even buy a made one. Or start your business and if your lucky youll have enough. I just love the little car , very sweet and nice+sound
Wasting? Well one of the main reasons i would want to accomplish something like this before many other things is, for example, if you get a wife, mostly(not always but mostly) you get kids(not always)you will probubly have to wait some years to have time left for hobbies since, expecily kids, takes alot of times, many car enthusiasts gets wife and kids and leave their hobbies(more or less), they simply don't have time with it, in most cases. I won't let that happen if i want to enjoy life :)
Well, one of the main reasons i'd like to build one so early, is because there is possible there will come new laws restricting the use and/or building of classic cars like the Cobras, cause they are ''dangerous to the envoriment'' in their veiws, i feel it's better to try complete Some dreams that might not be restricted in the future, it might not happen, or it might, but i don't go around being nerveous about that :)
I found out a couple of weeks ago my dad is going to build an AC Cobra replica. Planning to put in a 420hp chevy V8. CAN'T WAIT after watching this vid!!
