1965 Cobra Roadster Replica |
|
 This
car was started in the 1980’s but delayed due to other
projects and a family business. Completed in the mid-1990’s,
the car has a kit car company body and windshield, but everything
else is custom fabricated. Features include an independent front
suspension with XJ-12 components and a FitzGerald designed independent
rear suspension with billet aluminum arms and pairs of longitudinal
locating Watts’s linkages on each side. Power is an “oval
track – sprint car type” 406 cid small block Ford,
built on a Cleveland block. The engine has a Holley Projection-4
CNC fuel system and has generated over 600 HP. The drive system
includes a Centerforce dual-friction clutch and a Jericho NASCAR
4-speed gearbox. The gearbox magnesium case was actually run
in the # 21 Winston Cup car. It was extensively modified for
Cobra street use, eliminating the excessive slop typical of
the era “NASCAR Cup Car” gearboxes. In its fifth
year of street use, the car is a ball to drive! |
