1985 Shelby Cobra

Description

This 1985 Shelby Cobra has plenty of unique and desirable touches. After all, it has a well-coordinated color package, an automatic transmission, and a thumping big block under the hood. So dig into the details on a car that's quite interesting.

This car has all the right standard Cobra features you love, like the widely flared fenders, hood scoop, push bumpers, and growling side pipes. But there's plenty of uniqueness on display here, too. After all, we rarely see these presented in a color like Apricot Peach. But when you see it, you also understand why this was chosen. It gives the racing stripes a subtle elegance, and the color is in harmony with the golden fields that are the background of California's race tracks. In fact, Cali seems to be in this one's blood. It was manufactured by Custom Engineering in California, and it has the right look of a Pacific Coast Roadster. There are even cool details, like how the wheels are color-matched to the body, and this one utilizes a wide roll hoop instead of two individual ones. So while you may want to personalize or repaint this one, it's already quite unique.

The 1985 designation in the title centers around the build date, and the interior reflects a bit of that. After all, most of the more recent builds use black vinyl instead of brown, and they don't complete it to quite this level. So you have something that's distinct and more comfortable. The bucket seats have better bolstering and a nice low angle, the doors are fully upholstered, and there are handy map pockets everywhere. In fact, this also comes with features you don't find on others, like a soft top and the wiring for a stereo. But what you never lose is that driver-focused Cobra feeling. Deist racing harnesses, a B&M shifter, a grippy sports steering wheel, and a dash dominated by your gauges are all pure sports car fun.

You'll love lifting the hood to show off the tidy big block power. The long Cobra air topper looks great in blue, and those Cobra valve covers correctly announce you have the mighty 429 motor within. It's built well with a Holley four-barrel carburetor, Mallory ignition, and steel braided lines. And those headers add power and thunder as they feed the side pipes. The C6 three-speed automatic transmissions is a stout unit that can handle all this extra power and torque. Plus, you've got a strong Ford 9-inch rear, front disc brakes, power steering, and wide BF Goodrich T/As.

This is the unique classic build that has a ferocious big block heart. So don't miss something this distinct and powerful. Call today!!!
