1967 Shelby Cobra Street Beast Coupe

Description

A 1967 Shelby Cobra Coupe is quite an interesting proposition. After all, Carroll Shelby used an AC Ace roadster as a base, and they did have a coupe body also that just never made it to the Cobra upgrade. So while we've never seen a Cobra coupe like this before, the style is both familiar and correct. But that's just the base. Some of the info we found on the creation suggests a long-term build where everything was thoughtfully assembled to make sure the more complicated coupe body fit together with precision. They also took the time to give it a luxurious A/C interior, a strong chassis, a fully independent suspension, and four-wheel disc brakes. Best of all, there is a Terminator-style 4.6-liter Supercharged V8 under the hood to give this the power to back up its sleek and dark style. So dig into the details on a full custom build that keeps the look of an icon but in a unique, distinctive, and powerful way.

The term "rational Cobra" seems like its own contradiction, but that's what this very unique coupe provides. It's an all-weather car with a very comfortable interior, fuel-injected power, power steering, four-wheel disc brakes, and a fully independent suspension. So it has an almost daily driver kind of appeal. But with all that supercharged power, you know that a wild time is just a downshift away. Many of the same features that make this such a nice all-around driver (suspension, brakes, modern tires, etc.) are also what delivers such a sharp sports car. So while this one looks like it's never hit the racetrack - or really ever turned a wheel in anger - it still has that same killer instinct as the roadster. And of course, you'll love the rumble of the side pipes. It all makes for the kind of total package that you didn't know you always wished was out there. And since you probably have never seen a Cobra coupe before, when this deal is gone, you're likely never to see it again. Call today!!!
