The 1966 Kirkham Cobra is a standout – a vivid demonstration of how meticulous engineering can resurrect a legend. David Kirkham's team, known for their unparalleled precision, has brought the Shelby Cobra back to life. This isn't just about remaking a classic; it's about elevating it with superior materials like aircraft-grade aluminum, blending the past's charm with today's engineering marvels.

This Kirkham Cobra, early production #014, boasts a 427ci Shelby aluminum-block V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission. The engine was dyno'd and produced 507.5 H.P. at 6100 rpms and 514 ft-lbs at 3900 rpms. It features a range of upgrades, including custom Canepa magnesium finish on wheels, dual racing stripes, and a high-quality Tera Coat in black for a stunning hot coat finish.

The vehicle includes quick-jack bumperettes, aluminum fuel filler cap, a roll hoop, Cobra-branded wind wings, side-exit exhausts, and 427 Cobra fender badges. The cockpit features black bucket seats with matching black wool carpets and door liners, along with Simpson lap belts. With only 3,489 miles and an extensive list of mechanical service history, this car has been meticulously maintained. It also includes a Certificate of Origin from Kirkham Motorsports and has undergone the 'Canepa Difference' process, which includes a major and comprehensive mechanical inspection and award-winning concours-level detailing.

Collaboration with Shelby American is the cherry on top, providing a nod to the Cobra's storied past. For collectors and enthusiasts, this car is more than a vehicle; it's a piece of history, a tangible link to a golden era of motoring. With its stunning metallic blue aluminum body and 2 matte grey racing stripes, this car is sure to turn heads, whether it's the sound of the big block FE engine rumbling through the ceramic-coated side pipes or the brutal acceleration that pushes you back when you hit the gas.
