Overview

1965 Cobra 427

For some it is the sound of a big block FE engine rumbling through the side pipes and the brutal acceleration that pushes you back when you hit the gas. Others can not help but stare at the curvaceous fenders and are drawn in by the beautiful craftsmanship of the aluminum body. From the oil cooler and hood scoop to the roll bar and fender flares, Kirkham 427S/C's are all about performance.

Kirkham Motorsports is recognized as one of the leading manufacturers in the component car industry, building high quality aluminum replicas. The body and chassis are hand-built at their facility in Poland. They are then shipped to Utah where the bodies are filed, sanded, and either brushed, polished, or painted. Over the years, Kirkham has also supplied some of the bodies and chassis for Shelby American's CSX Continuation Series Cobras.

Kirkham Motorsports still offers incredibly accurate replicas, but technology and manufacturing techniques have evolved since the 1960's. Kirkham Motorsports is a quality-focused company, pushing the performance envelope without forgetting originality. That is where KMP0478 was born. This beautiful brushed aluminum 427S/C Chassis was fitted with a 596HP 428FE Engine and mated to a Tremec TKO 600 5 Speed Transmission.

According to the Shelby Registry, KMP0478 was originally sold in 2007. The current owner purchased the car in 2012 from the original owner. Hillbank Motor Corporation purchased this Kirkham from the second owner. Car comes with all documentation from the original purchase including chassis specs, engine specs, and installation.

This Cobra is titled in PA as a Specially Constructed Vehicle, has 2,682 miles on the odometer, and is available for $199,950.
