Introducing a stunning 1966 Ford Cobra, a custom-built masterpiece that blends classic design with modern performance enhancements. This head-turning vehicle boasts a sleek silver exterior accented by a bold black stripe, riding low on a one-piece frame with a four-inch drop for an aggressive stance. The reinforced fiberglass body is complemented by gleaming stainless-steel side pipes, bumpers, roll bars, and gas tank, adding both durability and a touch of timeless elegance. Dual Talbot Berlin 300 Senior chrome mirrors enhance the car’s iconic profile, reflecting its meticulous craftsmanship.
Under the hood lies the heart of this beast: an original, rebuilt 1966 427 Ford side-oiler engine with solid lifters and just 300 miles on the clock. Built on a robust Marine Block, this powerhouse features dual quad Holley carburetors, an Erson Cam hi-flow AM, Cobra LeMans valve covers, a dual aluminum manifold, and Edelbrock Performance racing heads. The engine is paired with an Edelbrock water pump and a custom-made four-core radiator with dual electric fans for optimal cooling. The ignition system is upgraded with an MSD distributor coil, 6AL box, and full MSD ignition ensemble, ensuring reliable, high-performance sparks.
Power is delivered through a Hurst Competition Plus Cobra shifter and a meticulously engineered transmission: a 4-speed Toploader 427 Cobra (RUGAEC8 main case, C70 tailhousing) with big input gear, a 31-spline output shaft, and 2.23 close-ratio gears. The drivetrain is completed by a 9" Ford rear end with 3.55 posi gears and 350 rear-end gears, providing exceptional traction and control.
This Cobra rides on a sophisticated suspension with coil-over adjustable shocks and stops confidently with four-wheel disc brakes. The custom vinyl interior offers a blend of comfort and style, featuring bespoke seats tailored to the driver’s taste, along with a heater and defroster for year-round enjoyment.
This 1966 Ford Cobra is not just a car—it’s a rolling testament to automotive artistry, blending vintage charm with race-ready performance. A true collector’s dream, built for both the road and the showroom.
