Default 150 or so, some say more, some less.....

Ohekk is the "keeper of the flame" for Excaliburs. He started a registry some time ago.

Excalibur Owners: Please Reply!

Once production started it never stopped until the "end". Estimated build number is about 150-160. The build number of any Excalibur Cobra is included in the VIN. Mine was the 33rd car built.

Several of the cars are in Germany, the "factory" was purchased by a couple of "German" guys and THEY started building Cobras.

A few were offered with Super Chargers, but 95% were 302 HO injected with 5 speeds. A/C was a popular option and ALL the cars came with an evaporator/heater package all ready installed (just add a compressor and condensor). A FEW hardtops were made but ALL came with a hartz cloth soft top.

Quality was pretty good. Made with mostly all "new" parts SOME items were remanufactured (alternator, 9" rear end). Engine/trans were BRAND NEW Ford factory units.

Somebody recently started making them AGAIN using the original molds. BUT without a Federal Exemption like the first ones had the "new" ones will compete directly with the other "replicas" for market share. Thus they will be a "roller".
