351 Stroker-Powered Superformance AC Cobra 5-Speed

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The Shelby AC Cobra stands as one of the most iconic sports cars of the 1960s—a raw, race-bred machine that cemented Carroll Shelby’s legacy and dominated tracks worldwide. Original examples of the 427 Cobra are exceedingly rare and command astronomical prices, often reaching into seven figures. Superformance is renowned for producing licensed, high-quality replicas that capture the essence of this legend. Built under official license from Carroll Shelby, these recreations deliver period-correct aesthetics paired with modern engineering, offering the same visceral look and feel at a fraction of an original’s value.

This Superformance AC Cobra, finished in Portofino Blue with contrasting white stripes, wears a livery inspired by Ken Miles’s legendary 1964 USRRC Cobra CSX2431 and shows 10,950 miles. Power comes from a 351ci stroker V8 paired with a Tremec five-speed manual transmission, delivering strong performance through a lightweight fiberglass body and four-wheel independent suspension. Additional features include adjustable coilovers, Wilwood disc brakes, and authentic knock-off wheels. The car is equipped with a removable soft vinyl top and tonneau cover for open-air or weather-protected motoring.

This Superformance AC Cobra is now offered with a vinyl convertible top, tonneau cover, body repair invoice from 2017, and a “rebuilt salvage”-branded Michigan title in the seller’s name, which lists the car as a 1964 COBRA.
