Just off the delivery truck from Shelby American, as you can see there is some assembly required. This is #4247 of the Shelby Cobra continuation series. It came as you see it, no engine, no transmission, headers in many, many pieces and a lot of body work to be performed. Anybody up for a project? It was a labor of love for three years.

As delivered from Shelby America September 2003.

This is what it is all about. A Ford Sideoiler 427 stroked to 468 cu in, aluminum heads, dual quads and it screams.

The engine ready to install

Do you think we may have been worried about scratching the paint? It went off without a hitch, not a mark.

The engine going in

Getting in ready for fire up.
