2008 Shelby Cobra Replica

This Classic Revival Cobra is an eye-catching example of the potent and engaging V8-powered roadster, inspired by one of the most iconic sports cars of all time. It is powered by a naturally aspirated ‘LS1’ 5.7-litre V8, which sends its power to the rear wheels via a desirable Tremec ‘T56’ six-speed manual transmission. First registered in 2008, this example has reportedly had just three owners in total, and is noted to have been an Australia-built and therefore delivered car. The odometer currently shows 21,853 km, though this is not warranted. Build year: 2008 The Classic Revival CR427 Kobra is an Australian-built Cobra replica, utilising a purpose-designed tubular steel chassis and composite bodywork, engineered for structural rigidity and compatibility with modern high-performance V8 engines. This is a desirable example with the LS1 engine and Tremec T56 gearbox. This Cobra recreation is finished in orange with silver stripes, over a grey interior. It rides on 18-inch Foose 10-spoke wheels, wrapped in Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres. Features include a PRW polished water pump with billet pulley, ASE billet fuel rails, a bespoke fabricated alloy air intake, and custom headers with side pipes; suspension comprising King springs and AVO adjustable dampers; a bespoke interior with Cobra classic seats retrimmed in leather and vinyl with billet inserts, a custom centre console with a CNC-machined anodised alloy inset, VDO Classic gauges, aluminium pedals, a fully trimmed boot with billet insert, and Alpine radio CD player head unit. The seller notes that the car has been fitted with aftermarket exhaust mufflers. The car is accompanied by a selection of original receipts and mechanical details, the standard muffler system, and two sets of keys. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: there is a small stone chip on the lower rear mud guard and another one in the centre lower bonnet area. The AC Cobra is an automotive icon, celebrated for its raw power, stunning looks, and visceral driving experience. This Classic Revival Cobra recreation offers the thrill of the legendary roadster, and would make a compelling addition to any collection of performance cars, and a truly exhilarating companion for weekend blasts and fair-weather cruising.
