RC SPORTS CARS COBRA 427 WIDE BODY — 585HP WINDSOR
This is not your average Cobra build.
An exceptionally well-sorted RC Sports Cars Cobra 427 Wide Body, finished in stunning DNA Cobalt Blue and built on extended chassis to comfortably accommodate a driver.
Endless amount of time and money has gone into this car, with the suspension, braking system, driveline, interior and engine all receiving serious attention. It presents beautifully and has the performance to match the looks.
CHASSIS, SUSPENSION & BRAKES
Fully rebuilt Jaguar front end with virtually every serviceable component renewed — nuts, bolts, bushes, ball joints and tie rods.
The rear features a fully rebuilt narrow Jaguar rear end with genuine factory short wishbones — not cut and welded — together with new 3.7 LSD gears.
Slotted brake rotors and new brake calipers front and rear, plus brand-new gas shocks all round.
Sitting perfectly on 15 x 8 front and 15 x 12 rear wheels, giving it the proper wide-body Cobra stance.
ENGINE — 368CI WINDSOR / 585HP
The heart of the car is a seriously built 368ci Windsor V8.
Dyno tested by Dandy Engines at 585HP and 480 ft-lb, with the car also producing approximately 500HP at the wheels through the exhaust system.
Engine specification includes:
* World Products Man O’ War block
* 4340 steel crankshaft
* H-beam connecting rods
* JE custom pistons
* Steel-core roller cam
* Crower hydraulic lifters
* Jesel roller rockers
* AFR CNC-ported cylinder heads
* 8-stack fuel injection
* ICE ignition with crank trigger and cam signal
* Holley HP ECU
* High-output American alternator and serpentine-belt system
* Custom high-volume aluminium sump
And yes — those eight individual velocity stacks look every bit as good as they sound.
GEARBOX & DRIVELINE
Backing the Windsor is a custom-built G-Force T5, using G-Force drag-racing gears, main shaft and case with a 26-spline input shaft.
It also features a Mal Wood S10-style extension housing to position the shifter correctly, Mal Wood short-throw race shifter, steel flywheel and heavy-duty clutch.
The gearbox alone cost approximately $19,000.
Custom Drivelines tailshaft with chromoly yoke completes the driveline.
EXHAUST
Custom fabricated stainless-steel headers and side pipes provide the soundtrack a 585HP Cobra deserves.
INTERIOR
The interior has been completely custom finished and includes an Alpine sound system with amplifier and subwoofers.
THE RESULT
This is a Cobra that has been built properly rather than simply made to look the part.
585HP. 8-stack injection. Wide body. 15 x 12 rears. Custom G-Force gearbox. DNA Cobalt Blue.
It has the stance, the mechanical specification and the presence you want from a serious 427-style Cobra.
Inspection will not disappoint. Genuine enquiries welcome.
