Outfitted with the FAST-revving 557 cid/830 hp BIG-block Ford stroker V8 you see below, this take-no-prisoners Coppertone Cobra ratchets up the original Shelby serpent’s 1960s nickname ‘Jet-engine-on-a rollerskate.
The block is a 460 cid Ford big-block stroked to a 557cid. The heads are Trick Flow 460A racing heads—polished aluminum. Custom cam designed by a top engineer from Comp Cams [Bill Peck—same fine chap who painted the car]. Every step of this engine build was executed by experienced professional craftsmen; the result is the fastest-accelerating and meanest-sounding V8 powerplant ever.

Billet Specialties wheels (custom ceramic coated)Michelin Pilot Super Sport Z-rated tires [295/30×18″ front; 335/30×19″ rear]ALL of the tires are 40% wider than a normal Shell Valley/Mid-StatesCobra. We selected (i.e., upgraded) them because of the phenomenalHP/torque the motor produces.There’s abundant structural buttressing to handle that thunder-generator powerplant: the excellent Midstates chassis has been strategically reinforced to provide extra strength and rigidity to virtually eliminateflex during acceleration and cornering.
The Shell Valley body was sculpted into place while investing hundreds of hours making certain the coachwork and paint was absolutely perfect. Everything from the carbon-fiber dash, custom-crafted leather upholstery, powerplant, suspension, & paint was carefully scrutinized to ensure this would be a one-of-a-kindCobra and a one-of-a-kind driving experience. That is to say, no one will be pulling up alongside you with a cookie-cutter Cobra just like yours….
Over $125,000 was invested as a “labor of love” to build and possess this dream drivin’ machine; it has since been appraised at $80,000.
