Ford Other 427 bored to 496ci 1965

Allmän beskrivning : 1965 Ford Shelby Cobra In 1961 a retired race car driver had a dream to find a sports car that could fit a more powerful V8 motor.  That man was Carroll Shelby and that car became the Shelby Cobra.  Shelby wrote to AC asking them to join him on this endeavor and they agreed should a suitable engine be found.  He initially contacted Chevrolet but with the recent introduction of the Corvette, they refused to join him on the project.  His next stop was Ford who understandably wanted something to compete with the Corvette and thus the Cobra was born.  These cars have an extensive history in the automobile world and make for some of the coolest street cars on the road.  These factory race cars can fetch in the millions of dollars nowadays which is why car builders are turning towards replicas to create their dream cars.  This very nice 1965 Cobra is extremely well built using the best components available.  The owner spent around $140K having it built.  It was constructed by SMC and although they are no longer in business everything we have read online points to them being very high quality.  The body is painted in Yellow with dual Red racing stripes that run the full length of the car.  On the iconic front end the car has the chrome piece around the radiator opening framed by the bumperettes.  It also has the full bumper in rear.  Behind the driver is the single hoop roll bar and the car also received the large chrome gas cap where some manufactures used a smaller version.  The windshield is slightly tinted and has both upper and side wind deflectors.  The rides on a set of the correct style Shelby Cobra wheels which are true knock offs and have 305/35/18 tires in rear with 245/40/18s up front.  You see some of these with small block Ford motors in them so we were delighted to open the scooped hood to reveal the Shelby Aluminum 427.  It has been bored to 496 ci which offers all the power you could ask for delivering 750hp with 690 ft/lbs of torque.  These were race cars after all so this one stays true to its heritage.  It has been fitted with a Fast XFI 2.0 8 stack fuel injection system which not only improves performance but looks great.  The surrounding engine compartment looks good too being all custom finished out and painted Red to match the stripes.  The car runs strong and also features Blue Thunder aluminum heads, Crower titanium rods, a Billet Windberg light weight crankshaft, and Race tec pistons (10.5 to 1 compression).  It was built by FE Specialties out of California and sounds great through the custom side exhaust.  Backing the motor up is a Tremec T-56 Magnum 6 speed transmission.  The car has 3:55 gears in the rear so not only is it quick it can cruise down the highway comfortably.  The engine is capable of 8000 rpm but has a rev limiter set down to 6500 rpm.  The cockpit of the car is all finished out in an Olive Green color with Yellow accents.  It has dual bucket seats and a custom center console which houses the shifter and cupholders.  The dash is all custom as well and features Yellow flamed Cobra gauges in Red bezels to tie into the cars exterior.  This is also where you will find all of your controls along with the very cool push button start set up.  The floors have a diamond plate design and the pedals are from "AC".  The trunk is all finished out and although these cars aren't known for trunk space there is still plenty of room for a few tools and your car show gear.  This is a really high end Cobra and you couldn't ask for a better drivetrain in one of these.  It comes with a custom tonneau cover and the car is titled as a 1965 Ford Convertible.  Take this Cobra home for BIG REDUCTION DOWN TO $59,000.00! This car is located in Clinton, Missouri.

om Ford
Ford, som grundades 1902, har utan tvekan förändrat historien om bilvärlden mer än någon annan biltillverkare genom att införa de första folkbilen Modell T 1908. De hade producerat mer än 15 miljoner bilar i slutet av produktionen 1927, genom vilket T hade blivit föråldrade.

Ford lanserade den första lågpris V8-motor driven bil 1932. 1932 V8 var en omedelbar hit med överlägsen hantering och prestanda för många betydligt mer expansiva bilar av dagen. Inte undra på 32 V8 Ford har blivit en sådan favorit bland heta rodders runt om i världen med 32 Deuce Coupe som sin ikon.

Under kriget Ford helt stänga civil bilproduktionen att ägna alla sina resurser till de allierade krigsansträngningarna (1942-1945) De används för att bygga B-24 bombplan, flygmotorer, jeepar, M-4 stridsvagnar, militära lastbilar och Bren-gun bärare och mer än 30.000 super laddade Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 motorer till Mosquito och Lancaster bombplan samt P-51 Mustang fighters. Efter kriget Ford bilar i USA blev större och flashier tillsammans med sina konkurrenter. I 60: s Ford var tillbaka i förgrunden igen när man inför deras kommersiella hit Mustang 1964. Mustang var så populär tävlingen var tvungen att följa Fords exempel och ponycar fenomenet tog över USA. Under åren ponnyer växte några muskler tills oljekrisen döda äntligen dödat dem.

På sextiotalet rusade Ford i internationell motorsport scenen med en raseri. Efter misslyckade Ferrari övertagande, då Enzo Ferrari hade klippt affären av med Henry Ford II gör det senare absolut koka av vrede, vände Ford till Lola i Storbritannien för att producera en Ferrari slog långdistans racer efter. Samarbetet mellan Ford och Lola skapade den mäktiga Ford GT40 som absolut slog Ferrari i Le Mans 24 flera gånger.

I Europa införde Ford några av de mest episka race och rallybilar av 60-talet som bygger på ödmjuka familj sedaner; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, och Escort 1600RS med de ikoniska Cosworth BDA motorer.

Idag klassiska Fords är mycket populär bland entusiaster och ett stort urval av klassiska Fords finns till försäljning på www.ClassicDigest.com
