1966 Cobra 427 Le Mans Recreation finished in Ford Racing Blue with Wimbledon White Stripes. Weighing just 2,450 lbs, the performance is staggering with a 0-60mph sprint of just 3.6 seconds! Built to race in HSR / NASA, this Cobra was professionally assembled to be more brutal than the Original Factory Race Cars. The chassis was completed in 1996 Contemporary Motor Works. Contemporary Motor Works made over 4000 cobra's. As a manufactured replica it is titled as a 1965 Ford coupe and I run Vintage plates on it. The engine is brand new with just 700 miles on it. It is custom-built 427 Side Oiler engine (rated at 620 HP and 580 ft-lb of torque) by Ford Racing legend Jeff Lawrence. It is mated to a T&S Motorworks prepared Road Racing Tremec 5-speed manual transmission. The Vintage Racing Team of Donovan Motorsports was called upon to fabricate and install an Aluminum Cobra Independent Rear Suspension with dual coil over springs along with a set of 3:73 gears and Locking Differential. 15 inch Wilwood Disc Brakes create the stopping power and period correct Goodyear Racing Tires are wrapped around Halibrand Style Knockoff Wheels. The entire chassis including the Roll Cage has been reinforced yet retains the correct vintage look. A Racing Windscreen, Full Racing Harnesses, and a custom ATL Fuel Cell complete the Racing Package. A orignal windshield is also included in the sale. With the recent changes in engine, trans and suspension, over $110,000 as been spent on this car. I love it and only selling to purchase a race car for my son. You are welcome to view and hear the car if you wish at my home. I can be reached at Jswilson87@comcast.net or 262-313-7809. This car is great on the street and track with custom made 950cfm carb, recently turning a 2:32 at Road America before I drove it home.

Just a quick update on my car for sale in the name of honesty. I had it dyno tuned this week on a chassis dyno and as I suspected the engine does not make the 620hp as advertised my the prevoius owner and myself as I copied his ad. I have owned two gt1 cars, a BP vintage corvette, a formula alantic and a 650hp street 67 corvette. I sold or traded each of these cars with all the info I knew and each owner has been very happy. I would like to keep that reputation. My Cobra (still for sale) dyno'ed at 409 rear wheel HP on a 94 degree day with 60% humidty. I would take a guess that the motor would make about 525hp or so on a engine dyno in a controlled enviroment. Still more than enough for this car. It did gain almost 40hp through the tuning and runs more smoothly.

I also learned that the rear end suspenson would cost 15 to 18K to build today. I can attest to the handling after two track events. I will have the car at Road America on 8/15 and 8/16 if any prospective buyer would like to go for a ride. It now has professionally installed dual roll bars (2k).

Horse power measured with or without the side pipes? My engine lost 97 h.p. 'through the side pipes'.

RWHP was 409 on a 94 degree day with 67% humidty, side pipes were on. I can send the dyno sheet by email to anyone who would like to see it.

Well there you go! The engine could be close to 620 flywheel with open headers. My sidepipes are unusual in that they have a four bolt flange so you can remove them and bolt on 'shorty' extensions in their place. You can really feel the difference with the shorty's in place.
