Although some may try to argue, the truth is when it comes to car collections, we choose cars that we want other people to notice. There's a special feeling that washes over you when you pull up to a stop light next to a car full of children giving you thumbs up, or asking you to rev the engine or falling over one another to get a quick picture before the light turns green. And when it comes to attention, few cars on earth can match the commanding presence of a car like this 1965 Shelby Cobra .....
Superformance. As if the sinewy shape and muscular lines were not eye-catching enough, this car takes things to another level (a common theme with this build) by adding bright red paint complemented by twin full-length white racing stripes.
Step inside the Spartan interior of this, and it's all business. Black vinyl seats hold you in place along with the help of a set of racing harnesses, while the three-spoke wood-rimmed steering wheel dares you to find out what you're made of. Look closely, and you see that hidden in the myriad of the Smiths Gauge cluster is a reversed speedometer, a nod to the original Cobra setup seldom seen on any modern replicas.
Under the hood, this Cobra packs as much venom as Carroll Shelby had intended when he dreamt up this nightmare on wheels. A 1967 7.0-liter Side-Oiler Ford FE block that uses cross-bolted mains, solid lifters, and two (yes, two) Holley 600 cfm four-barrel carburetors to feed this beast before sending spent gasses through a set of shorty headers and out through those big beautiful side pipes. That massive power is channeled through a modern Tremec TKO TR3550 five-speed manual transmission, allowing this car to get better highway mileage thanks to its extra gear as compared to the original car's four forward gears.
