There’s few feelings in this world that rival the experience of driving a muscle car. With your fingers wrapped around the steering wheel of a muscle car, you’re in control of fine-tuned machine meant primarily for speed and power. It’s exhilarating, lurching you onto the edge of your seat in excitement and anticipation, yet pushing you right back into it with one heavy step onto the gas pedal.
It’s an experience that everyone wants, but can be hard to come by — especially when it comes to classic muscle cars. These collector’s items can end up costing a pretty penny, and they can similarly be difficult to come by. One such example is the Shelby Cobra. Known for it’s sleek racing design, the Cobra proved itself as the ideal muscle car: light, fast, and powerful. Shelby’s original AC Cobras were intended to be “Corvette-Beaters,” meant to blow away the competition, and that they did. While some muscle cars could weigh upwards of 3,400 pounds, the Cobra came in at 2,620 pounds, all the while reaching a top speed of 186 mph (299 km/h) back in 1964. Similarly, an even more lightweight version of the Cobra emerged in 1990, losing another 300 pounds of weight and increasing it’s power up to 370 hp at 5,750 rpm.
With only 538 1964 Cobra Mark II models being built, there aren’t many in circulation nowadays. However, if you’re trying to get your hands on one, you don’t have to begin scouring the nearest hobby and collector automobile shows. Instead, you can look into getting your very own Cobra, particularly through buying a Shelby Cobra kit car.
A Shelby Cobra kit car is one of the easier, and more affordable, ways to purchase and start driving your very own muscle car. Plus, it doesn’t have to be the same down the specifics of the older designs; on the contrary, you can create your own custom roadster with a Shelby Cobra kit car.
By contacting an outlet, you can purchase a Shelby Cobra kit car and begin the venture into creating your own specialized muscle car. This replica kit will come with every single part you need to complete your vehicle, all with no donor car needed. And with all new upgrade parts and customizable options, you can decide whether you want your muscle car designed specifically for road or track (if you’re feeling adventurous, make it road and track). Plus, with redesigned and updated parts, your Cobra will be safer and better suited for your driving and/or racing purposes.
