The Cimarron Starlite
Cruisers' Car Club proudly features, great classic vehicles, which belong
to the good folks of Oklahoma.
This
month’s Great Oklahoma Classic is a beautiful 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica owned
by Glen Summers of Stillwater Oklahoma. Glen showing off the Cobra to the folks
at the monthly Cars and Coffee sponsored by Sixth Avenue Honda in Stillwater
Oklahoma. Glen is a long time member of the Stillwater Antique and Classic Car Club.
The next
best option to a real AC Cobra is to find a replica that you can drive and
enjoy. Glen had always admired the Cobras but just didn’t want to spend that
kind of money on a hobby. But when he turned 80 years old he decided it was now
or never to own one of his dream cars. The Cobra was actually built in 1998 in
Florida for Peter Mayer according to Peter’s specifications.
The Cobra
rides on Goodyear Eagle GT II tires mounted on custom polished aluminum wheels.
The Cobra
has all the comforts of a modern day sports car such as: automatic four speed
overdrive transmission, tilt steering wheel, power disc brakes, cruise control,
AM/FM/CD Radio, chrome roll bar, rack and pinion steering, four wheel coil over
shocks and cowl induction hood and air conditioning!
This beauty only
has 2529 miles on the vehicle
since it was built in 1998!
The tan bucket
seats highlight the Cobra’s tan stripes and the VDO gauges really stand out in
the custom wood grain dash. The A/C and radio are additions
that you don't typically see on these replica cobras.
Powered
by a Ford 351 Windsor V8 bored to 399 cubic inch, this Cobra sounds absolutely
incredible with the Side Exhaust System and you can hear and feel the custom Hi-Pro
Cam and Long Stroked Windsor. The Ford produces an incredible 501 horsepower at
5800 RPM and huge 508 pounds feet of torque at 4300 RPM. Glen has the 2010 Dyno
Sheet to back it up!
The
beautiful paint is called Laser Red Metallic with Tan Stripes and matching Tan
Soft Top and Tonneau Cover.
The Cimarron Starlite
Cruisers sincerely appreciate
Glen Summers of Stillwater Oklahoma for sharing his beautiful AC Cobra Replica
as our Great Oklahoma Classic for February 2019.
