1966 427 Shelby Cobra Replica - Contemporary CCX3127 Drive 12-19-2020, had to get some Cobra Time!

[@International-BlackMan]

I can watch this all day. 66-69 Shelby cobra 427 is the most perfect man toy ever made. Keep your Lamborghinis, I love me some old school American muscle.

[@Tmac327]

The 427 A/C Cobras would smoke most of the Lamborghinis out there.

Quick car with an iconic sound of an American V8. I’d be smiling ear to ear.

Thank you for this. It’s so refreshing to see someone just take a car out for a spin without beating the hell out of it. Such an iconic car. Safe travels 🌲

@@ericbitzer5247 OH I will bro.. I have to share what's in my head with all/others as they share with us. I can't wait to bring my cobra out of the den and bring it to life. I've been collecting parts ovr a decade.. I have a n.o.s. original-virgin 1966 FE 427 sideoiler X block, I have origin 1966 Lemans connecting rods, I have a 1966 original lock out shifter, 1960's lakewood bell housing scatter shield, 1966 427 oil galley splash shield, the list goes on. I would like to travel to Wareham-Factory 5 racing on open house day, tour and pick up my kit personally if I can pay online and go and p/u without paying local sales tax would be breathtaking. This way, I can take my honey sight seeing Massachusetts/ New england all week prior to open house and end it all by hauling my project home. Dreams become reality when planned, I hope your dream comes true one day man...

[@raidersrideordie]

Yeah, that is a sweet cam lobe...

[@johngyarmati529]

Excellent video.. I just purchased this exact car in Indigo blue with the white stripes here in Florida. It is a backdraft racing replica with the 427 mated with the tremeck 6 speed manual transmission. This car is in a class by itself. The sound, the feel, how it handles, along with road imitating attitude projects raw power and american muscle. One of the greatest street legal road race cars to ever take to american streets or anywhere for that matter..Right on brother....🤘💪👍🍻

[@RDY2SHO]

Awesome! Congrats n you Cobra!

[@colinhoward74]

Having had a few cobra replicas myself , I can tell you the hardest part of driving a cobra , especially a powerful well sorted one , is driving it slowly on the streets , if you are an experienced cobra driver , you just want to put man to machine and drive it like you stole it , even ifthe cops are crawling around , it was first built as a race car and that is really what it is ! Not for the abs / traction control / active ride nerds , this is a mans car in every way , if you get out wrong , you get bit by a hot exhaust too !

[@RDY2SHO]

100% correct. Thanks, and have a great day!

[@jamesblumensheid353]

The rumble sounds great!

[@Chris-ey6rn]

A continuation Cobra CSX Number that’s awesome. I bet it’s just as good as the original ones maybe some modern updates but still Raw and Powerful

[@salg498]

its a ccx #. Contemporary believe. Beautiful car!!

[@kemosabegt350geuss6]

Great camera placement. I felt like I was right there with the wind in the hair. Maybe the closest I will ever get to the real thing. Kept waiting for a short 100 mph pull that never came however it must be intoxicating imagining the spirit of Ken Miles riding along beside you.

[@RDY2SHO]

Next time watch for the 100mph!!!

[@frankcastle5294]

I'm a Chrysler man and always thought that the 440 six pak with proper cam...and the 426 Hemi....had the greatest sound during idling I have ever heard. But something intoxicating about the sound of a well-tuned FE ford motor at idle. I think it's the odd firing order and numbering of the cylinders that comes into play.

[@raidersrideordie]

Google a FE 427 Cammer motor, you'll be amazed, I bleed blue oval 1st, followed closely by a 426 Hemi. The Cammer is a hemi as well, jus a 427, alot if ppl don't know the heritage of a FE Cammer.

[@frankcastle5294]

@@raidersrideordie I don't need to google anything. I'm 68 and have been around more 427 SOHC motors than you could ever imagine. Tuned a few of them...seen them in everything from pullers to street rods to old drag cars. You DO realize it was never factory installed in any production car...don't you? I first saw one at the local Ford dealership in the summer of 63. Guy who ran the parts department at BZ Mellinger Ford...now New Holland Ford...built one and had it on display at the dealership. They were beautiful to look at. And it's not a true "hemi". It's a semi-hemi, just as the Boss 9 was.

[@RSDX99]

I enjoyed your video, I was the former owner of Contemporary #3212 from 1986 until its premature demise in 2006 thanks to brake failure and the Armco at Monticello motorsports track in NY state. I spent 20 years of Open tracking with that car. One of my best memories is of Dick Smith trying to catch me at VIR at one of the SAAC conventions. Sadly Dick passed on the next year. I was never impressed with the bone stock Side Oiler I put in the car when I first built the car and preferred the 408 Dart that made 615HP after trying out a couple of Ford small blocks. I have aged out on trying to drive fast on the track but I do enjoy watching others enjoy their Cobras. Hope you are still driving yours.

[@RDY2SHO]

Wow, sounds like you have some great memories. I too knew Dick Smith but never raced with him. We only went on nice weekend drives over to the coast with some other Cobras together, Great memories as he only lived 30 minutes away from me. My car is still a work in progress. Getting the weber's redone in the next few months. Thanks for your comment and hope to chat again soon.

Ultimate car with ultimate hair and mustache. Sounds great.

Always thought back in the 80's ERA and Contemporary were the best. Pretty big cam in that baby. loping over at 3000 sounds like a Cobra should.

Great videos Brian. Learning a lot from watching them. Hope to post some once the we get our Cobra weather back here in Upstate New York. Have to admit, you almost lost me when you opened the hood and I saw the Chevy engine in there but you more than redeemed yourself when you showed that very cool 427 Side Oiler that will be replacing it! Good luck with the Swap.

@@RDY2SHO Are you referring to the mid-60s Jaguar S-Type’s suspension with independent rear, sporting two shocks per side and inboard disc brakes? Installing that in a Cobra must have been a Herculean project.
