1966 Shelby AC Cobra replica, by SMC [Specialty Motor Cars] of Fayetteville Arkansas. This serpent was built in the mid-1990s; I purchased it April 2003. I put just under 1,000 miles per year on average. This car was built by SMC as a rolling chassis. It’s very well balanced with 1,260  lbs. on the steering axle, and 1,360  lbs. on the rear axle, for a total of 2,640  lbs.

The finish is British Racing Green, that, as BRG typically color-shifts in varying light, appears much darker in the shade, but the beauty comes out in the sunlight to show off the stunning emerald essence, much in the manner of a “mystique” type paint. You can witness some of the color variations in the photos on this page as we shot it in differing angles and intensities of sunlight.

Beneath the bonnet is a 5.7-liter electronic-fuel–injected Corvette LT-1. This provides a more modern fuel-injected powerplant  with a RestoMod geartrain. It’s supplemented with Scott’s, dual electric cooling fans [pusher mounted].
