I had a replica with Rover V8. which I built from a rolling chassis with Jaguar parts. I remember overtaking in second gear starting at 30 mph. I looked at the speedo as I pulled in . I couldn’t believe it. Great car, but some second hand bits, so required maintainance . It made me realise how well made modern cars are. Speed bumps were a problem, and so were police men who stopped you just to look at it. Open air driving is wonderful. Most fun car I ever had. I should have kept , but I’m too old for messing with cars, and driving on congested roads is rarely a pleasure now in England.

I've this car since I first saw one, it's a top three all time favorite car for me. While I'll never see a real one I was given a chance to drive a replica as well. What a ride, exactly how you portray it in the video. While I don't care for some of the ways this car was made there's no denying the fun factor in tooling around town and blasting the highway in one of these!! It really should have side pipes is all I'm saying... Great video Nick, I'm glad you got to experience these amazing vehicles!

Great car! The original is one of the all time classics, though I bet the reality is replicas are potentially even better. As you say, a useable gearbox and proper brakes (always useful!) The 427 was the Bugatti Veyron (maybe that should be Chiron now) of it's day - the fastest accelerating production car - with I think 0-60 around the 4 seconds mark - no doubt someone out there has the actual figure. This was a time when Lambos and such were barely breaking 7 seconds, so this really was in a league of it's own. Not bad for a mongrel created by the great Carroll Shelby - big American V8 in a lightweight British shell. Best of both worlds!

I have been told on the 351 Windsor engines, that you need to have the Aux fan running during the Summer months in low speed and stop and go traffic to avoid overheating. But for 50k you can beat the fun factor.

Correction: side pipes WERE accurate for the 427 Cobra, when you're talking the "early models" you are talking about the 289 Cobra derivation... I still remember reading about the '67 Cobra in Playboy and the writer mentioned to caution your dates not to burn their legs on the sidepipes getting into the car... lol

You say the original Cobra had a 427 in1965. But the original Cobra was built in 1962 and had a 260, soon changed to the 289 (which most of them had). Shelby had a lot of trouble selling the later 427s. Great video, btw. These guys are the only legit/licensed replica company afaik. Pete Brock worked with them. They also do a Daytona Coupe and a GT40. Matt Farah reviewed both recently.
