Superformance MkIII 427SC Cobra, SPO1045. Black-on-Black, Clean, sleek persona without “boy racer” stripes. Car was expertly completed by (the late and universally respected) Billy Andrews of Shelby dealer HRE Motorcars of Freeport, Long Island New York in 2002.

28,000 non-abusive miles [45,000 km] logged on this well-cared–for, well-maintained serpent that has spent its life carefully covered in a climate-controlled garage. It is in magnificent condition throughout.

Fast. Powerful. Nimble. It’s quite likely to qualify as your ‘bucket list’ drivin’ machine.

Note: I have a copy of this Cobra’s Massachusetts State DOT (Dept. of Transportation) registration history document for you to supply to Transport Canada (in TIFF format).

—Rolling Stock—

Period-correct brand new 15” Goodyear Eagle ‘Billboards’ with tubes… the only rubber that presents the correct appearance of the original Cobras… my third set in 15 years and they’re precisely what they should be… racing tires… and they are sublime… and early Superformance Halibrand replica wheels with their finely cast & wired knockoff spinners that replicate the originals’ delicate profile [not the later and current wheels with clunky poorly-rendered surfaces that lack subtle details and intricate cross-section].

You also get the lead hammer, the safety wire and the spinner removal tool for the occasional stubborn spinner.
