This 1967 Shelby Cobra replica has all the best pieces, like a fully independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, side pipes, a well-built 351 V8 under the hood, and a five-speed to control it all. And all this power is wrapped in one of the most iconic paint themes around. This is a speed machine designed to get noticed. Enthusiasts are always on the lookout for a Contemporary Classics build like this because they know it means quality. Plus, you can tell there was added care here with everything from the protective film on the rear fenders to genuine knock-off hubs on the Halibrand-style wheels. Guardsman Blue is an iconic Shelby cobra color, and when it's on a low mileage build like this, it is the perfect look. The paint's gloss gives off memorable shine along the curvy body, and it only shows signs of moderate use. This car embraces its extra boldness with the dual racing stripes painted on top for a permanent competition-worthy attitude. And there's plenty more attractive performance style with the hood scoop, bright push bumpers, driver's roll hoop, and pipes add to the intimidation factor with both their appearance and growl. The interior is done in black. Everything from the carpeting to the dash has a look of quality. It is more thoughtfully furnished than others, including full door panels, side wind wings, and sun visors. Even the seats are done well with low-back buckets finished in leather with proper racing harnesses. The dash is dominated by crisp VDO gauges, including a large tach and speedo. And the wood-rimmed steering wheel and crisp action of the shifter happily keep your hands occupied.
