Outfitted with the FAST-revving 557 cid/830hp BIG-block Ford stroker V8 you see below, this take-no-prisoners Coppertone Cobra ratchets up the original Shelby serpent’s 1960s nickname ‘Jet-engine-on-a rollerskate.

The block is a 460cid Ford big-block stroked to a 557cid. The heads are Trick Flow 460A racing heads—polished aluminum. Custom cam designed by a top engineer from Comp Cams [Bill Peck—same fine chap who painted the car]. Every step of this engine build was executed by experienced professional craftsmen; the result is the fastest-accelerating and meanest-sounding V8 powerplant ever.

• Cooling Department:
• Radiator is a high-capacity aluminum unit fromJEGS; it’s cooled very effectively with a high-outputFlex-a-litepuller-mounted electric fan (fromJEGSas well), which pulls 3,500cfm. Bottom line: this serpent’s engine runs anywhere from 150°–180° in any weather, at any ambient temperature and in any traffic situation.

• ALL of the tires are 40% wider than a normalShell Valley/Mid-StatesCobra. We selected (i.e.,upgraded) them because of thephenomenalHP/torque the motor produces.

There’s abundant structural buttressing to handle that thunder-generator powerplant: the excellentMidstateschassis has been strategically reinforced to provide extra strength and rigidity to virtuallyeliminateflex during acceleration and cornering.

TheShell Valleybody was sculpted into place while investing hundreds of hours making certain the coachwork and paint was absolutely perfect. Everything from the carbon-fiber dash, custom-crafted leather upholstery, powerplant, suspension, & paint was carefully scrutinized to ensure this would be aone-of-a-kindCobra and aone-of-a-kinddriving experience. That is to say, no one will be pulling up alongside you with a cookie-cutter Cobra just like yours….

Over $125,000 was invested as a “labor of love” to build and possess this dream drivin’ machine; it has since been appraised at $80,000.
