KMP304 has logged only 1,900 miles (just over 3,000 km).

Here are more specifics about this breathtaking driving machine:

POWERPLANT
Shelby American 427FE aluminum-block #CSX460


engine photo is hotlinked (same view, MUCH larger size).

When I purchased this Cobra it had only 160 miles on it and it was outfitted with the Webers. I could not bring myself to drive it without an air cleaner in our dry Arizona conditions (dust). So I removed the Webers and installed the proper Holley carburetor on a Shelby American aluminum intake, thus enabling me to utilize a K&N air filter.

Among the full complement of premium parts and components under the hood:

  • Shelby American 427FE aluminum block... CSX460... outputting over 600 dynoed horsepower!
  • built by Keith Craft Racing
  • Velasco billet crank strokes the Shelby block to 482 cid
  • Keith Craft Racing Stage III ported heads
  • JE pistons
  • MSD 6AL ignition/coil & distributor
  • Lunati billet rods
  • Comp Cams hydraulic roller cam
      
  • You get two complete intake systems:
    • 48 IDA Weber carbs mounted on a flow-matched aluminum intake manifold (not installed now, but shown below as installed when I purchased the car), and
    • Shelby American port-matched aluminum intake with a 4150 Holley 750 cfm 4 bbl. mounted inside an aluminum Kirkham turkey pan (installed).

The engine & transmission installation along with all final assembly, fitting, and tuning done by Baldwin Design and Performance in Dallas, Texas. They are aluminum Cobra specialists and their craftsmanship is the very best of the best.

Power-to-weight paradigm: its 2,140 pound/650 horsepower anatomy make my Ford GT feel tame by comparison. You cannot imagine how spectacularly fast this serpent is until you drive it.

It has been meticulously/scrupulously maintained, never been scratched, and is absolutely flawless. You would spend over $130,000 to replicate this bright aluminum beauty.
