Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.15) based on 271 votes
Very pleased to be able to offer this superb Ram AC Cobra 427 Shelby.
This stunning car was built professionally. ithout compromise. o a very high standard for its only owner of the past 15 years.
This car is one of a few that has an official certificate of authenticity signed by Carroll Shelby.
It is properly registered as a 1968 Ram Cobra with historic taxation ( no charge). o it looks totally period correct. nd would be ideal for export to re-register abroad.
The car has only had one owner since it was constructed 15 years ago. nd has been cherished throughout that period.
She was built using only brand new or fully refurbished parts
The powerful engine was a new Small Block Chevy. uprated with a Comp Cam. Roller Rockers. delbrock performance alloy heads and a 750 Holley Carb. ll supplied by Real Steel. mated to a Tremec 5 speed gearbox.
The car has been looked after by marque specialist Thunder Road. It has since been upgraded with rebuilt suspension including a set of anti roll bars . (as per Cheng's race car)

The Ram Cobra was developed in the early 1980's by Adrian Cocking. of LR Roadsters with a full tubular space frame chassis. designed by Formula 1 Designer Adrian Reynard. In 1985 Autocar Magazine carried out a full track test at Brands Hatch pitching the Ram against the BRA 427. a Gravetti. a Python and a Dax. The then current Saloon Car Champion Andy Rouse drove all cars back to back. His conclusion was the Ram was ‘head and shoulders' above the opposition in terms of handling and road holding.

In Europe a French company ran a One Make Race Series with over 30 Ram Cobras lining up on the grid often driven by ex Formula 1 drivers. The Ram is still being further developed today by Cheng Lim of Thunder Road Cars who are considered by many to renovate and race the quickest and best handling bespoke Cobras available in Europe. Rams were the only worldwide recreation Cobra at the time to be granted personal approval by Carroll Shelby. Because of their ability. rarity and heritage. Ram's have become very sought after and collectable Cobra Replicas.

The car drives superbly. nd is surely one of the best available today. I'm happy to P/X with anything of any value.
