It's called a 427 cobra for a reason. I just hope Carroll doesn't see this.

It isn't an original cobra, is it. Just a kit car,right?

That bonehead. He could have just JB welded the heads of some bolts on the side of a cammed up 390 and said he had a 427 in it.

Chebby people never learn.

As of now he has no bids on it. I thinkn the guys phone number is on there. I wonder what kind of calls he has been getting I bet some are well I cant repeat it here. It looks like he ruined a great car there. Thats sad. Dont ruin a great car with some inferior crap from the other side. I wonder if he gets it sold we'll see.

It probably would be worth $50k with a 427. Makes me wonder what a ZO6 vette with a 427 cammer would be worth???

I am a chevy muscle car man straight up even though i am ford the rest of the way. Thats the most stupid thing to do to a cobra. You decrease the value of the car and decrease the power at least if he went with a chevy 427 maybe it would be ok but not with the 350.

It says Classic Roadsters 427, its a kit car not an original Shelby. That would of been a true disaster. At least they didn't put a "spoon" engine and fartcan exhaust on it!
