Shelby Cobra Tribute - Race Red with White Stripes - 23,168km - V8 Automatic, Right-Hand Drive
Cobra tribute in iconic competition livery, red with white racing stripes and race number 66, V8 automatic, rear-wheel drive, right-hand drive, Queensland-complied, 23,168km.
Description
The Shelby Cobra shape is arguably the most imitated sports car silhouette ever conceived. From the muscular flared arches to the gaping oval grille and side exhausts, every line was drawn with purpose. This tribute was originally complied in 1989 and has been kept and presented in full competition specification: race red with a central white stripe running bonnet to tail, race number 66 on both doors, and red Willans-style 4-point harnesses against black leather. The Queensland Government modification plate confirms compliance with Mod Code LA4, dated 15/06/2023. The result is a car that looks like it rolled straight off the '66 Le Mans starting grid.
The red bodywork is deep and glossy with good panel consistency and no obvious damage or respray evidence. The white racing stripes are crisp with sharp definition. The 5-spoke silver alloy wheels are clean and straight, fitted with Dunlop radial tyres showing serviceable tread. Side exhausts are polished stainless. Inside, the cockpit is finished in black leather with red contrast stitching, red 4-point harnesses, a "Carroll Shelby" signed dashboard fascia, a Cobra-badged wood-rim 3-spoke steering wheel, and a Smiths-style analogue gauge cluster with a Cobra head gear shifter as the centrepiece. The engine bay carries Edelbrock valve covers and a polished open-element air cleaner. The boot is carpeted in charcoal and contains the folded soft top.
Vendor advises the engine is a V8 with 4-speed automatic transmission. Buyers should verify engine displacement with the selling agent prior to bidding, as the side vent identification badge and engine bay configuration should be confirmed against the listing specification. The odometer reads 23,168km. Comparable Cobra tributes in similar condition and presentation have been trading in the $45,000 to $65,000 range in the Australian market depending on build quality and engine specification.
