Description
The car is finished in gray with red stripes over a black interior, and power comes from a 428ci Ford V8 paired with a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. A carburetor tune was performed in 2020. The DAX 427 fiberglass body was sourced from DJ Sports Cars, Ltd. of Essex, England, in June 1985 and was painted in its current gray with red stripes in 2016. Features include ceramic-coated side-exit exhausts, chrome tubular bumpers, a molded hood scoop, Talbot-style mirrors, Cobra-branded plexiglass wind wings, and Cobra badges. The Halibrand-style 15? Compomotive multi-piece wheels feature faux knock-off hubs and are mounted with BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. The Everett-Morrison chassis features a fully-independent suspension that utilizes components sourced from a Jaguar XKE, as well as rear coilovers and GAZ front shocks, the latter of which were installed in 2020. Braking is handled by a Wilwood master cylinder and disc brakes at all four wheels. The cockpit is trimmed in black upholstery and features a wood-rimmed steering wheel, five-point harnesses, a red shift knob, and Stewart Warner gauges including an 8k-rpm tachometer, a 160-mph speedometer, and gauges for water temperature, oil pressure, and fuel level. Just under 300 miles are shown on the five-digit odometer, all of which were reportedly added since the car’s completion in 2016.
