By mid 1963 the 289 Cobras had won everything worth winning in US domestic racing, and were virtually unbeatable in U.S.R.R.C. and S.C.C.A. production racing, but Carroll Shelby had further ambition, and that was to beat Ferrari in the Manufacturers' Championship.
The 427 Cobra was not an expensive car, about $7,900, in relation to its performance, but it had extraordinarily high power - to - weight ratio and its nimble circuit handling, could blow far more exotic and expensive cars into the weeds. There were 260 427 coil-spring street cars built and 348 total. The 427 Cobra was last advertised for sale in the USA in August of 1968. Growing environmental protection and safety legislation would have changed the Cobra beyond recognition, so it was decided to stop production.
We at Antique & Collectable Autos have tried to reproduce the features of the original 427 Cobra in our modern version of this great classic. Our attention to detail and coil-over suspension make this affordable reproduction a great driving and building experience.
BASE PACKAGE INCLUDES:
BODY
Hand-crafted fiberglass laminate; featuring hand laid layers of fiberglass on a gelcoated surface and a inner core, providing high strength and superior surface quality. All high stress areas are reinforced with heavy woven roving, providing the strongest most durable and stable body in the industry.
There is no fiberglassing required, all inner liners and components, floor, fire wall, rear bulkhead, front wheel wells, doors hood and trunk liners are fiberglassed in the molds with custom fixtures for precise and accurate placement. Our doors, hood, and trunk utilize a full inner system for strength and rigidity with a smooth finished look.
Hood and trunk come installed on the body using tapped sandwich plates behind their inner liners for strength and adjustability and steel reinforced pivots precisely located and fiberglassed in place.
Doors have steel inner structures for personal protection. Also placed in the body is our steel cowl hoop with floor to frame mounting plates and welded on brackets for the windshield, door hinges, fire wall and steering column.
Holes are pre-cut in the body for doors, headlights, front and rear directionals, gas cap, radiator, oil cooler, front brake air intake, side louvers, hood scoop and overrider frame bracket on trunk floor.
We mold our own bodies to exact outer dimensions (no stretched wheelbase) using original specifications, utilizing our 21 years experience in the fiberglass industry. Our vast experience allows us to offer bodies in Kevlar and Kevlar Carbon Fiber. All painter bodies are molded and aligned so well that we remove all flash lines (lines formed from seams in molds) from the gelcoat surface. All fiberglass components go through our 12 step total cure process. Every component is hand-buffed to insure that the surface is even, flat and shiny.
Our optional high luster gelcoat finish (no painting) has a durable, smooth, deep-molded finish in each part. The finish will retain its vibrant color and beauty for many years.
These features provide our customers with the highest quality and the shortest assembly time.
Prefabricated Steel/Metal Package
All the steel sub-assembly components for the Cobra reproduction are custom fabricated from heavy gauge steel and protected with a rust preventative coating. All the standard assembly holes are pre-drilled. Saving you the time and difficulty of drilling through heavy gauge steel with expensive drill bits. All parts bolt together easily.
Hardware Package
The specialty hardware needed to assemble the Cobra reproduction has been carefully selected to assure you of the correct number and type of fastener for each assembly step. All hardware is packaged individually according to size.
- Complete bolt kit, all nuts, bolts and washers needed to assemble Cobra, saving you time in locating, and money in purchasing expensive fasteners.
- All suspension bolts are grade-8 and come with nylon lock nuts.
Frame Package
Certified welders, using custom fixtures, fabricate the frame and frame accessories - your assurance of the uniformity and squareness of the frame. All standard assembly holes are precision located and pre-drilled to the correct size, saving you time, and the difficulty of drilling structural steel as well as insuring the correct location of each assembly hole. Deburring after manufacture of the frame removes the sharp areas from the welded surfaces and rust-preventive coating protects the entire frame assembly.
- Frame is manufactured from A-500 B 2" X 4" structural steel tube main rails with 58,000 PSI tensile and incorporating 6 full lateral cross members. 2 X 2 outrigger rails provide excellent personal protection and a strong base for the floor and seats. Suspension and mounting brackets are welded in place 1/4" steel front cross member (to which suspension is attached) is an integral part of the frame.
Motor / Tranny Mounts

High Performance Suspension
Coil Cover Shocks: Allowing you to set the pace which you personally wish to follow; making your own suspension fully adjustable from an easy Sunday driver to a road course animal and back again.
9" Ford housing with axles: our rear housings come narrowed and the axles are shortened and resplined with all four link & coil over shock brackets welded in place. This eliminates the need for costly and precision modification to a standard rear housing. All you need to do is add your center section and brake parts.
Triangulated 4 link rear: assures you precise alignment of rear housing while allowing transfer of horse power and torque to rear wheels and adding cornering stability.
Tubular control arms: provide state of the art front suspension which is far superior to standard traditional Mustang stamped control arm, in conjunction with our coil over front shocks; this provides you with high-tech steering and suspension components with a truly high-performance look. Upper control arms are adjusted with shims eliminating worry about slots opening up and slipping under extreme conditions.
