About this car
This is a 427 SC Cobra described as a continuation car, offered with race papers for Appendix K historic competition. It is a Semi Competition car, finished in blue and shown with 3,200 miles.
The side-oiler 427 is in Appendix K specification and makes 635 bhp with the racing cam. The current cam detunes it to 550 bhp, and the racing cam comes with the car. The page also lists a rare high-rise inlet manifold and says the engine has been stroked from 427 to 511 cubic inches (8.1 litres), with 640 lb ft of torque on the race cam.
It comes with a lot of spares: a second engine, a fully reconditioned 1966 gearbox, a spare set of gearbox internals and a higher-output cam. The seller says the original engine has a cracked block and its pistons need new rings. The original engine is stripped down, and a spare original block is included. The car is pitched at fast road use or historic racing, and it is featured in Trevor Legate's book Cobra: The First Forty Years.

Performance
The maker’s official figures for this model, not measurements of this car (Only the engine layout is given: Ford 427 cu in (6,997 cc) FE V8, front-mounted, rear-wheel drive. No verifiable AC or Shelby factory figures for power, weight or performance, so these are null. Commonly quoted figures such as 485 bhp come from period magazines and later sources. S/C cars were roughly 29–35 unsold competition chassis converted for road use, not an announced limited run.).
