This exemplary Contemporary Classic Cobra is widely regarded as one of the most faithful 427 Cobra replicas, featuring bodies that are cast directly from the original CSX 3045 Cobra.
It stands out with its robust, dual-layer construction, which is significantly more rigid and precisely engineered compared to traditional pop-riveted “kit cars.”
The design includes a one-piece body shell that is double-bonded to inner panels, and it also integrates tubular steel substructures within the hood, door, and trunk openings, as well as the rear lip of the passenger compartment and the leading edge of the cowl.
The car is built upon a rigid chassis made from four-inch diameter, 1/8-inch thick tubes, designed based on the original for authenticity. However, it is enhanced with thicker wall material to reduce flex, resulting in improved handling and driving performance.
