Mirror mirror on the wall….

The Shelby Cobra 427’s birthday, he is 50 years old. So what do you do as a manufacturer to this golden jubilee to celebrate? Understand, you are making a silver-chrome special edition, limited to 50 pieces…

In 1965, the first Cobra 427, where the number denotes the engine capacity in cubic inches, converted to a healthy 7 litres. If you’re one of the lucky ones who for converted 148,000 of the euro as aluminum glimmer in the garage may put you only need a hole in the base plate to the saw, and you can use it with your feet moving forward. What do you mean? Well, for the hefty price you get the engine and box not in.

Fortunately, Americans have a lot of crate engines in the offer. If we have a suggestion-can do: buy the LS7 from the Camaro Z/28, or else the LT1 from the new Corvette Stingray. You go all out, then take a big block of Nelson, the petrol takes no shit. Of course with a manual gearbox, but that speaks for itself.

From 13 January, the Shelby’s in the sale. Is 148 mille you too much, go for one with fiber-glass body, which is € 98.000 a half euroton good buyer and you have the distinctive blue color with white go-fast striping above your fat Goodyears.
