1965 Shelby Cobra (Kirkham Aluminum Body)

1965 Shelby Cobra 427 with a gorgeous Hand-Formed Brushed Aluminum body by Kirham Motor sports.

With only 2. 00 miles on this fantastic cobra that was built up in 2008.

Under the Hood is a Rare and Period correct Vintage 1960 s cast iron 427 FE side-oiler.

The Engine was custom built and Dyno'd by Souther Automotive of Georgia and puts down 475 HP and runs perfect with all the bugs worked out. It has Edelbrock heads. Penski coil over racing shocks. Lakewood Scatter shield. Wilwood Disc. Brakes and all the other goodies that you would exspect in a car this nice.

I have all records for the car and receipts that total well over 100 K. I sent the car to a third party Vintage Auto Appraiser and have a 28 page report from them detailing every aspect of the car and I will send it out on request. No expense was spared building this car and it has the best of the best.

If you have any questions please ask. This car is 100% documented and I will provide all paperwork. Thanks for looking George
