Superformance MKIII 427 S/C powered by Ford Cobra Jet 460 big block, bored & stroked to 520cid! Rated at 600 horsepower + 620 Ft. Lbs. of torque! And the big block sound to match all that power! This beautiful Royal Blue + White stripe Cobra is chassis #0790 and is in excellent condition with less than 5700 miles. First licensed in 2008 under California's SB-100 law which means no smog certification for life. Remember all MKIIIs are factory built rolling chassis with all new components and a show quality factory paint job. Chassis and suspension components are purpose built for the series which results in a superb handling sports car. Additionally this Cobra had full chassis service plus new QA-1 springs & shocks installed by Stewart Hall of Hall Fabrication & Racing in Benicia. This well known Cobra shop replaced the springs & shocks with the high performance QA-1s and set the chassis for optimum handling. They also replaced all fluids including the diff lube. This Cobra is ready for touring & tracking this spring!
