1996 2 Owner, ERA Cobra (no option for ERA only Shelby)

This Cobra was bought and built in 1996. ERA replicas, know as one of, if not THE best, representation of a the 427 era 1966 Cobras out there, built the entire car as a turn key for the first owner. He owned it and drove all over the coastline fo CT and amassed just over 12,000 miles on her when he sold her to the current owner about 4 years ago. This owner put about 4000 miles on her and then the engine went about a year and a half ago. He pulled the engine ( the engine is a 428 - roughly 100 of the original 427 Shelby Cobras came with a 428 due to engine supply issues back in 66, this car was built to replicate one of those and it also replicates one of 46 that were painted in Ivy Green metallic with the correctly tapered Wimledon White stripes. ), he pulled the engine to have it rebuilt and while the engine was out, he decided to address a couple issues under the hood, this of course led to finding other things and as often happens, one thing led to another and the entire car was stripped, sanded and repainted in the same color and nearly everything was replaced. The car was rewired, new clutch, new gauges, new carpet, many new bolts, the fully boxed frame was cleaned up and repainted.

She still retains her original seats, as they were in very good condition, the coil over shocks were kept, the rear diff (but it was rebuilt), the gas tank was kept.

This is in essence, a brand new ERA Replica Cobra.

The Ivy Green Metallic paint is near perfect, especially as it's brand new. The stripes are laid out as Shelby did and they taper correctly.

The rear end is a Jaguar unit from an XJ6 and carry's inboard disc brakes. Disc brakes do the stopping up front as well.

Aluma-coat side pipes move the spent gasses out while a Holley 4 barrel moves the clean air in. A correct air box directs the air from the scoop into the air cleaner.

The car was delivered earlier this season and the current owner has put about 370 miles on her in the time since the full restoration/rebuild.

The wheels are TriGo Cobra II's and replicate the wheels Carroll used on the 427's he built, these are also true spin offs and are wired. Brand new BFG Radial T/As are tucked into the wheel wells and look just right in 235/60/15's in front and out back 295/50/15's put the estimated 450 HP and over 400 lb ft of torque to the ground.

She starts right up cold with just two taps of the throttle pedal and settles very quickly into a lumpy, but solid idle. Blip the gas and she rumbles and snarls.

The gas and clutch are very well balanced and make for easy, controlled launches.

With all new bushings and body mounts, the car is as quiet (in terms of bumps and squeaks) as a new car - aren't too many new cars that sound like a 428, open side-pipe Cobra though. She runs and drives great, the big meats really keeping her planted the ground.

If you're looking for a brand new ERA Cobra, look no further.

This one is ready to go, and for less than you can have one built today.

Unfortunately the owner has knee issues which has made driving her painful, so he's decided to let her go.

Asking price on her $112,000

Any questions, for several hundred additional photos and video, to set a time to see her in person or to simply make an offer, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Thanks for the interest!

Jealousy is often called the 'green-eyed monster' and can be precipitated by all sorts of things. One of these can be someone seeing someone else driving the car of their dreams right past them on the highway. It is no coincidence that this 1965 Shelby Cobra Factory Five Mark IV is a replica of one of the most lusted-after muscle cars in history, painted in a bright green with an offset full-length grey stripe to remove what little amount of subtlety this car may have had left. With just 502 miles on it since its build, this Cobra has barely been broken in.  Inside, the form-follows-function interior gets a little more pizazz than Shelby's original car thanks to comfortable bucket seats and a center console with exterior-matched green diamond stitching to complement a set of Simpson four-point harnesses. A trick set of white-faced AutoMeter gauges, Wilwood drilled foot pedals, and a wood-rimmed three-spoke steering wheel featuring a Factory Five centercap.  Under the front-hinged hood, we find a beautiful, high-tech-looking 5.0-liter DOHC Coyote V-8 engine. Power from that modern five-oh gets sent through a Tremec TKO600 five-speed manual transmission before heading out to a 3.31:1 geared 8.8-inch Posi rear. Spent gasses are sent through a set of shorty headers and then out through those magnificent side pipes that sound as good as they look.  HIGHLIGHTS:   502 Miles Since Built  Bright Green Repaint  5.0 Coyote V8  Tremec TKO 5 Speed   Coilovers  Posi Rear  American Racing Wheels   Nitto Tires   Wilwood Disc Brakes   Rack And Pinion Steering  Green Diamond Stitched Interior   AutoMeter Gauges   Wilwood Pedals   Simpson 4 Point Harnesses  Wood Rimmed Steering Wheel  This 1965 Shelby Cobra Factory Five Mark IV was built to be just as impressive around curves as it is in a straight line. With a tubular a-arm and adjustable coilover front suspension and a four-link with coilovers and panhard bar setup in the rear, this Cobra looks poised and ready to strike from any angle. Rack and pinion steering help maintain control of this beast while 17-inch Halibrand-style American Racing Wheels featuring faux knock-off spinners shod in 245/45ZR-17 front and bigger 315/35ZR-17 rear Nitto rubber out back keep this Cobra glued to the pavement.  If you are tired of being jealous anytime someone else drives by in one of Shelby's masterpieces; then maybe it's your turn to start piloting your very own green-eyed monster. Call today!
