What’s special about this listing

This 1966 SMC Cobra captures the spirit of one of America's most legendary sports cars. According to the seller, this Cobra Replica is powered by a 289HiPo V8 engine paired with a 4 Speed Toploader manual transmission, delivering the raw performance that made the original Shelby Cobra famous on both the street and the track. The vehicle features an 8.8 rear end with a 4.10 gear ratio for spirited driving dynamics, and is configured as Rear Wheel Drive for that authentic classic sports car experience.

The exterior is finished in striking Ferrari Rosso (Red), a bold choice that pays homage to the racing heritage of the original Cobra. Described as having a distinctive red and white interior, this open-top roadster creates a dramatic visual contrast that turns heads wherever it goes. According to the seller, the vehicle is equipped with aluminum wheels and performance tires, while seatbelts provide essential safety for the driver and passenger. With 3216 miles reported on the odometer, this replica presents as a well-maintained example of the Cobra legacy.

The original Shelby Cobra, conceived by Carroll Shelby in the early 1960s, revolutionized American sports car design by combining a lightweight AC Ace chassis with powerful Ford V8 engines. The 1966 era represented the Mk2 evolution with the 289 cubic inch engine, producing 455 road-going examples that remain highly collectible today. This SMC Cobra replica offers enthusiasts the opportunity to experience the legendary Cobra driving dynamics without the astronomical prices of original examples.
