1,400-Mile 460-Powered West Coast Cobra Replica 6-Speed

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Capitalizing on the popularity of Carroll Shelby's iconic 1960s Cobras, West Coast Dreams of Michigan produced modernized replica kits and turnkey cars like this 2004 West Coast Cobra. Modeled after a 1965 Cobra, the car features a tubular chassis and fiberglass body with modernized dimensions and mechanical components. Under the hood is a Ford 460ci V8 high-performance crate engine with Ford Racing and aftermarket performance parts.

“It is a performance machine, true, but it does not achieve this at the expense of driver comfort,” West Coast's promotional materials stated. “... No contortions are required to climb into this baby.” That was accomplished by building the car slightly taller, longer, and wider than the original. The 2-seat roadster also has a trunk.

This West Coast Cobra is finished in dark metallic green with a gold Le Mans-style stripes and tan vinyl upholstery. The car's engine is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission with Hurst shifter.

Features include a blacked-out egg-crate grille, a hood scoop, side pipes, wind deflectors, and American Racing knockoff-style wheels with BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. Safety features include four steel side-impact bars, a 2.5” rollbar mounted directly to the frame, and RJS Racing Equipment seat belts.

The car, which wears a plate celebrating the company’s 25th anniversary, also has padded high-back bucket seats, polished stainless steel door sills, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, an hour-meter mounted on the driver's door indicating 37.3 total hours driven, a clock mounted in the passenger door, and an extensive gauge package. The car's odometer shows fewer than 1,400 miles.

This West Coast Cobra replica is now offered at no reserve by the seller on behalf of its current owner with a clean Michigan title describing it as a 2004 Assembled 1965 Ford.
