Used 1965 Shelby Cobra for sale in Crete, Illinois
Gateway Classic Cars is proud to offer this 1965 Cobra 427 replica in our Chicago Showroom. This sweet little Cobra is based on a Factory Five body and componentry and uses a pre-1996 Ford Mustang 5.0 / 5 spd manual transmission / 8.8 rear axle to motivate this beautiful snake down the road. This makes reliability and parts availability non-issues. The engine was donated by a 1992 Mustang. The exhaust gases are efficiently purged through the Jet-coated side exhaust. You cant see it, but it performs a vital role in getting the power from the T-5 tranny to the rear axle - a balanced custom driveshaft. Inside the cockpit, the first thing anyone who knows performance cars will notice is the short-throw factory five speed shifter. A wood steering wheel negotiates the turns the driver commands, factory-style seats keep the driver and passenger firmly planted inside, and the full AutoMeter gauge set keeps tabs on all of the cars vitals. The new leather seating is complete with the five point seat belt system. A recent custom dash, new computer installation, aftermarket Blutooth radio, and recent dyno and tune brings this classic to the modern age. With the blower and stout drivetrain between the rails, this replica Cobra probably runs as well as any small block Cobra did back in the day. New discs, pads, and drums were replace in the last year. This Cobra is ready for its next owner to take it out onto the open road.
