SHELBY COBRA 427 S/ C VEHICLE SPECIFICATION.
Regarded as one of the all-time iconic cars, the muscular Shelby Cobra succeeded in capturing the hearts of enthusiasts around the world, in fact it’s the most replicated sports car in the world.
Do not be mistaken this is no replica but a full blown “continuation FIA Shelby Cobra 427 S/ C” produced by “Shelby American” bearing the legendary CSX chassis number.
Complete with competition FIA HPT papers until 2031, eligible for FIA Historic competition races around the world.
When Champion Poker player Virgil Beddingfield asked Carroll Shelby to build him a 427 Cobra, he left nothing to chance.
On October 11th 2005 Mr Beddingfield ordered his Cobra from appointed Shelby Automobiles INC dealer Midwest Motorsport then assembled by Nostalgia Motorcars ltd, body finished in raw aluminium, correct side oiler 427 engine, 4 speed top loader gearbox.
The Ford 427 engine supplied by Shelby American Distributor “S/ C Motorsport” @ $40, 800.
Later painted in the iconic Guardsman blue with Wimbledon white centre stripe.
Interior finished in black featuring instruments, switches and hand made Mota–lita wood rim steering wheel.
A True “Continuation Cobra” by Shelby American Aluminium body built to original specification, Ford 427cu – 7. 0 ltr side oiler engine / Toploader 4 speed gearbox.
Sadly Mr Bddingfield passed away 17th December 2019 where his estate was sold off however the Cobra wasn’t accounted for within his assets and so didn’t materialise for a further 18 months where the car was discovered untouched in a different State.
We believe this car has had 3 previous owners, the second owner acquired this car before relocating to the UK bringing with him this Cobra where it was entrusted by ourselves for a complete mechanical overall. This included a full service and a number of mechanical alterations that was carried out rectifying incorrect work.
At the same time a FIA HTP application was made and granted with Historic Technical Passport papers valid for 10 years, (7 years remain). Additional work includes fitting the correct Girling CR front and rear racing brake callipers, plumbed in fire extinguisher system, ignition cutout switch, painting wheel centres white, side pipes painted performance white, fitting body tennex fasteners and making bespoke tonneau cover.
Subsequently to date the car benefits from full PPF by Gem Detailing Reading, black wheels and side pipes, aerospace anodised fittings, tracker, the GoodYear Bill Board cross ply tyres changed to the very compliant Avon CRZZ tyres in 2022. Engine tuning was carried out July this year with a new carburettor & jetting giving astounding performance.
While this correct “4000 series” Cobra 427 S/ C has resided here in the UK all Servicing and maintenance has been conducted by the talented ex AC employees now working here at Redline Engineering UK.
