427-Powered Superformance MKIII 5-Speed

This Superformance MKIII is a Shelby Cobra replica that is finished in Black Rose with white stripes over black leather upholstery. Power is provided by a stroker 427ci V8 mated to a Tremec five-speed manual transmission and equipment includes a Kinsler eight-stack fuel-injection system, Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes, adjustable coilovers, 15” Halibrand-style wheels, a chrome roll hoop, side exhaust pipes, quick-jack bumperettes, a hood scoop, a canvas soft top, Smiths instrumentation, and Deist racing harnesses. The car was acquired by the current owner on BaT in August 2022, and subsequent work consisted of servicing the transmission and replacing the oil pressure line and spark plugs. This Cobra replica is offered on dealer consignment in California with a tonneau cover and a clean Montana title that lists the car as a 1965 AC Cobra Fact Superformance.

The fiberglass body is finished in Black Rose with white stripes. Equipment includes quick-jack bumperettes, a hood scoop, a driver-side chrome roll hoop, side exhaust pipes, wind wings, fender vents, and a LeMans-style fuel cap. A canvas soft top and tonneau cover are included in the sale.

Halibrand-style 15″ wheels wear three-eared knock-off centers secured with replacement safety wire and are mounted with Avon Radial tires that measure 245/60 up front and 295/50 out back. The car is equipped with independent suspension and adjustable coilovers. Stopping power is provided by Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes.

The cabin features low-back bucket seats upholstered in black leather joined by a color-coordinated dashboard, door panels, and carpets. Amenities include a dash-mounted rearview mirror, a fire extinguisher, and Deist latch and link racing harnesses. The left seat cover piping is worn along the top. Work under current ownership consisted of re-gluing the inner glovebox liner.

The wood-rimmed steering wheel frames Smiths instrumentation that includes a reverse-sweep 180-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 5k miles. The odometer was reportedly replaced during previous ownership and the total mileage is unknown.

The 427ci stroker V8 reportedly features a Dart engine block and custom Robert Yates-built cylinder heads as well as a Kinsler eight-stack fuel-injection system. Work under current ownership consisted of installing a braided steel oil pressure line and replacing the spark plugs.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. The transmission was serviced under current ownership and the gear oil is said to have been drained and filled.
