MUSCLE CARS

The Shelby Cobra’s 427-cubic-inch engine, in all of its glory!

Even the front dash of the 1965 Shelby Cobra 427 SC looked fast!

The 1965 Shelby Cobra was the first to offer the 427 engine, but its body design at that time was too small for the huge engine to fit. A new body had to be built to accommodate the mega-powerplant so that 1965 Cobras with the 427, like this one, were 5 inches longer than Cobras with smaller engines.
