Feast your eyes upon this breathtaking 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica from the world leader in Shelby Cobra's -
SUPERFORMANCE. The only replica builder to be endorsed and licensed by racing legend and designer, Carroll Shelby.
Every car that leaves the Superformance factory is the best of the best with exacting details that truly make them
works of art. This particular Cobra is finished in Posilipo Blue with White hood stripes and Black leather
interior. You will not find another Superformance Cobra that came from the factory in this color Blue and White
stripes.
Meticulously built to the highest standards with all brand new parts from the top names in racing and performance
products. From the fire breathing 408 Windsor engine to the Tremec 3550 5 speed transmission right on back to the
independent rear suspension with 3:73 axle with coil over adjustable shocks, this beast was built to run and built
right. The engine has an Eagle cast stroker crank, Eagle H-beam connecting rods, Comp Cams roller camshaft,
Edelbrock Performer RPM cylinder heads, ARP main, connecting rod and head bolts as well as roller rocker arms. The
Holley Street Avenger 750cfm carb sits on top of an aluminum Weiend Stealth intake manifold. With 9.8:1 compression
ratio the desktop dyno estimates 450 hp and 480 ft-lbs of torque.
Even with all that power, stopping is no problem thanks to the Willwood power disk brakes and Goodyear Eagle GT
tires that wrap Trigo true knock off wheels. With only 5,200 miles since new, you will be able to enjoy your new
Cobra for many years and many miles to come. The only thing this Shelby needs is a new owner. The original
owner/builder spared no expense in building this simply stunning vehicle. He also spares no expense in maintenance
and care. All of the original build and purchase documents as well as the maintenance receipts will be included
with the car.
Mention Shelby Cobra to a group of car enthusiasts and heartbeats will quicken, memories will lead to great stories
and someone will bring up the beauty of the car. Just like the Porsche Speedster, Mercedes Gullwing Coupe, Auburn
Speedster and the ever famous Ferrari Spyder, the Cobra is one of the timeless greats. This example is no
exception!! The exterior has a show quality base coat/clear coat paint over a hand laminated fiberglass body. The
level of detail in the body and trim is simply amazing. All of the chrome, polished aluminum and painted parts are
of the highest quality. The Superformance Shelby Cobra is built to the highest quality detail with all new parts to
match the original style and design inside and out. These cars are brutally fast with a thundering, spine tingling
sound that is second to none.

Trump wants a trade deal, but South Korea doesn't want US cars

Thu, Jul 6 2017

SEOUL - US auto imports from the likes of General Motors and Ford must become more chic, affordable or fuel-efficient to reap the rewards of President Donald Trump's attempts to renegotiate a trade deal with key ally South Korea, officials and industry experts in Seoul say. Meeting South Korean President Moon Jae-in last week in Washington, Trump said the United States would do more to address trade imbalances with South Korea and create "a fair shake" to sell more cars there, the world's 11th largest auto market. "What we really want to say to the United States is: Make good cars, make cars that Korean consumers like." While imports from automakers including Ford, Chrysler and GM more than doubled last year largely thanks to free trade deal which took effect in 2012, sales account for just 1 percent of a market dominated by more affordable models from local giants Hyundai and affiliate Kia. Imports make up just 15 percent of the overall Korean auto market, and are mainly more luxurious models from German automakers BMW and Daimler AG's Mercedes-Benz, which also benefit from a trade deal with the European Union. "Addressing non-tariff barriers would not fundamentally raise the competitiveness of US cars," a senior Korean government official told Reuters, declining to be identified because of the sensitivity of the subject. "What we really want to say to the United States is: Make good cars, make cars that Korean consumers like." TASTE BARRIER In Korea, US imports are seen as lagging German brands in brand image, sophistication and fuel economy, industry experts say. US imports do have a competitive advantage in electric cars: Tesla Motors' electric vehicles are seen as both environmentally friendly and trendy, while GM has launched a long-range Bolt EV. US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross had cited a quota in the current trade deal as an obstacle to boosting imports. The quota allows US automakers to bring in each year 25,000 vehicles that meet US, not necessarily Korean, safety standards. Should GM, for example, decide to bring in more than its quota of one model - the Impala sedans - it would cost up to $75 million to modify the cars to meet Korean safety standards, the company told its local labor union. Asked about non-tariff barriers, a spokesman at GM's Korean unit said removing them could expand the range of models the company can bring in from the United States. No US company, however, has yet to make full use of the quota, industry data shows.

Man has surgery to remove T-Bird turn signal that's been in his arm for 51 years

Fri, Jan 2 2015

In 1963, real estate agent Arthur Lampitt was driving a new Ford Thunderbird near East Peoria, Illinois on his way to an appointment when he collided head-on with a truck. A massive accident that was so bad that it was originally reported as a fatal crash, Lampitt suffered a broken hip and that became the focus of doctors' efforts. In fact, no one noticed the fact that the turn-signal stalk had been broken off the steering column and had lodged itself in Lampitt's arm. Fast-forward to around ten years ago, when Lampitt set off a courthouse metal detector because of a "slender object, about the size of a pencil" in his arm. Despite that unnerving discovery, the doctor who examined Lampitt said that since it didn't hurt, he needn't worry about it. This year, however, it did start hurting and the affected arm started to bulge. Lampitt decided to have the issue seen to, and suspected it might have something to do with his 1963 accident. When he looked through photos of the wreck taken by a friend, he noticed the turn-signal stalk of the Thunderbird missing and figured that was the culprit. After a 45-minute outpatient surgery, the surgeon verified it: a slim, slightly bent and corroded, seven-inch metal cylinder with a trumpeted end. The surgeon said a protective pocket had formed around it, which is why it could remain in Lampitt's arm so long, but it was still unusual - "We see all kinds of foreign objects like nails or pellets, but usually not this large." Lampitt, who is expected to make a full recovery, says he might make a keychain out of it, once he's done just holding it.

Time to catch up with Jay Leno's Garage, including his Lamborghini Espada restoration

Tue, Dec 23 2014

If you're already jealous of the time, effort and money that Jay Leno can devote to his massive car collection, prepare to get a little greener with envy with this latest video from Jay Leno's Garage. Instead of the usual format of discussing a model for about ten minutes and then taking it out for a test drive, this week Leno gives viewers on a tour of over a dozen projects concurrently happening in his stable. The breadth of the vehicles shown and the things being done to them run the entire span of the automotive hobby. At the same time, Jay's shop is working on just a simple restoration of his 1969 Lamborghini Espada (pictured), and at the other side of the building, the team is rebuilding a wood-bodied 1914 Detroit Electric from scratch. He eventually plans to slot a more modern electric drivetrain into it. If bikes are more your interest, there's a freshly completed Brough Superior just waiting for a ride, and if American models are your thing, a Ford Bronco is getting a Coyote V8 installed into it. You have some very specific tastes if you can't watch this clip and start wishing at least one of these vehicles could be in your own garage. Other than the personal projects his mechanics are working on in the shop, Jay gets to have them all, plus plenty more.
