Here’s an opening salvo of bullet points…

This blue beauty features a completely period-correct drivetrain… including a (real McCoy, King-of-the-NASCAR circuit) FoMoCo 427FE cast-iron side-oiler… the definitive BIG-BLOCK V8 of The Golden Age of oval-track racing. 

  • Viper Blue with (painted) Arctic White stripes
  • robust, handlaid fiberglass coachwork
  • single, triple-chromed chassis-secured rollbar
  • Boyd Cottington rims
  • Cooper ‘Cobra Radial GT’ rubber
  • 3M paint protectant
  • hood scoop
  • windwings
  • LeMans-style fuel filler cap
  • side exit exhaust pipes
  • fender vents
  • Talbot Berlin mirrors

This pampered drivin’ machine resides in my garage in a “Serpent Preservation Bubble” (that you can see at the bottom of this page) that boasts positive ventilation; it gets waxed—a lot, lol!

My li’l blue Cobra has been broken in and sorted; it runs, drives and handles superbly. It emits the throaty growl of the NASCAR-targeted 427FE thundermaker of the 1960s. You’ll encounter no downside surprises.
