Description:

260 cubic inch Ford racing engine. Steel crank, titanium valves, Carillo rods, roller rockers, carbon clutch. Approximately 10 hours on the engine, which is built for 25-30 hours if run at a moderate to hard level.

T101A 4 speed transmission. Wilwood disc brakes. Race-ready condition.

Interesting Note: The Cobra was the Hagerty Insurance display car at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin during the SVRA National Championship event November 1-4, 2018.

We think this is an opportunity to purchase an FIA spec. racing Cobra with authentic, successful, vintage road racing history for the price of some of its more tame, street prepared, brethren. The Cobra is in excellent condition, and is maintained by a professional vintage racing team. It is ready to go.

The Cobra was originally offered at $89,000.00 in November, 2018. Now best offer gets the car. The owner needs to make some room for other new acquisitions. This is a great opportunity to get an exceptional road racing/street Cobra for a fraction of what has been spent on it. Make an offer and take it home.
