The Shelby Cobra, a car born from Carroll Shelby's audacious vision to shoehorn American V8 power into a nimble British roadster, became an instant legend. While the later 427-powered "coil spring" cars often grab headlines, it was the earlier 289-powered "slab side" Cobras that first established its formidable reputation on track and street. These lighter, more agile cars, produced in relatively limited numbers from 1962, were instrumental in Shelby American’s early racing successes, famously dominating sports car racing and cementing the Cobra's place as an icon of Anglo-American performance. The Slab Side's pure, unadorned lines represent the quintessential Cobra aesthetic, a timeless design that continues to captivate enthusiasts decades later. This particular 1965 Kirkham Shelby Cobra Slab Side pays faithful homage to that original legend, meticulously crafted to capture the essence and performance of its namesake. With just 5,798 miles on the odometer, this stunning recreation, finished in a vibrant Red over a Black Leather Bucket Seat interior, presents a compelling package for the discerning enthusiast. The manual transmission ensures an unadulterated, engaging driving experience, connecting the driver directly to the raw power and visceral thrill that defined the original Cobra. This Kirkham Slab Side offers the opportunity to experience the iconic Cobra legend with modern build quality and exhilarating performance.
