289 Cobra recreation by Acton Custom. Body is fiberglass by Mr Bruce in PA, he pulled his mold from an original car which is why it is such a nice accurate shape. Chassis is a 4" tube 427 type chassis with 289 leaf spring suspension. All suspension control arms are custom-made like an early competition car with rod ends for alignment adjustments. Important to note the addition of double shear plates on this style suspension or they will rip control arm mounts off the frame, ask me how I know?! The motor is a 351W with a T5 transmission behind it. Differential is a Jag with custom-made mounting brackets and Dana 44 gearset with Mark Williams custom-made stub axles.
Every piece of this car is as close as we could get to original specs with each part handmade and hand fitted to the car.
