SPORTING
Shelby Cobra 427 Cobra 'Flip-Top' Roadster
colour Blue/White |
 |
|
Powered by a Rex Hutchison alloy 427 Ford, dynoed at 623bhp at 6300rpm and 611lb ft torque at 4200rpm, the Flip–Top 427 Cobra features extensively in all the definitive histories of Shelby American and the Cobra. It is the only prototype of the 427 Cobra and arguably the only 'Cobra II' since that designation was not used for the production coil spring 427 Cobras. Design of the production coil spring 427 Cobras was done by Ford engineers, making CSX 2196 effectively the only 427 Cobra designed and built by Shelby. It is the Cobra that blew off the Grand Sports at Nassau and the Cobra conceived, assembled, developed and raced by Ken Miles, one of the legends of American road racing.
