1966 Shelby Cobra 427 Wide Open Throttle 600HP Street Machine

- This Shelby Cobra Street Machine packs a punch of 600 wheel horsepower thanks to a special stroked and overbored 427 Big Block Ford V8, 4-Speed Toploader Manual Transmission, and all the goods.
Thank you! That's as close as I will ever get to driving the baddest muscle in the highway. But I honestly appreciate that you shared that with the rest of us.
That was a wild memory
Huge hemi fan.... but damn that sounds hard to beat. stellar ride
greatcanadianbacon I feel exactly the same way. Thanks for checking it out. This is the baddest thing I've ever been in. - Sam
there was a HEMI powered car like the cobra once. had 475 hp 331 hemi and a 4 speed standard. no auto. but most of the owners totaled them. i'd have to research the car. but it was a beast also. not like carrol shelby's COBRA. but still fun to drive. the 1951 to 1955 briggs cunningham. it ran in lemans as well but finished 3 4 5. still a great accomplishment at the time.
1:12-1:20 THAT SOUND!!! IT SOUNDED LIKE A NASCAR!!!
It would tear a nascar a new a-hole. The Cobra is like 2200 lbs and no stupid restrictor plate. lol
@@AmericanThunder 2,400 lbs
The coda was a race car when it came out
A guy I know had an engine from a container his garage pulled it out because car got totalled. And 30.years later stuffed it in a 1971 f250 pick up that was a tow truck. Talk about hauling ass and laying rubber . This truck layed dual wheeled black marks in 3 gears . Bad part was that short drive shaft between transmission and transfer case twisted in half or came un- raveled so many times.
This is a personal favorite video I made. Its had over 250,000 views and what a ride these few seconds were! This was pretty crazy and I don't recommend it at all - Sam
I hear these cars are easy to wreck...
Oh yeah...
My favorite car of all time
+P0TAT0 SNIPING This video was far too violent! My 34 year old son accidentally logged onto my account by mistake and watched this video, the loud engine from the car scared him to death! I had to spend several hours comforting him that it was just a bad dream. Several. Hours. People who make these videos should be removed from RUclips. Instead of a scary, loud, and frightening car speeding ( breaking the law) why don't people make videos about planting trees or better yet, a bible review?
+Uncle Ruckus I'm still confused why your son was scared of the loud noises the car made please explain
P0TAT0 SNIPING It was a joke about the liberals and soccer moms.
any old big block responds like a dream with a cam and high compression.
Chevy fan here, but that one deserves the respect it commands. Not too many guys are lucky enough to drive a Cobra.
A real man's Miata. Lol I'd like to have a cobra someday.
You and me both 👀
I love these cars! My childhood dream was a 66 427SC but I didn't realize back then I'd have to win the lottery to own 1 of these beast!
The ultimate corvette killer!!! Chew em up and spit em out Cobra!!! God bless Mr Shelby!! Beautiful car!!!
well....these were known as the corvette killers for a reason!!!! :D
God bless AC cars.
I would kill a nun with a puppy for that car !!! Lol beautiful car
Lol. Great comment!
+Robert Lunt lol!
lol me too.....
Better to strap her in the passenger seat and hear her pray to Jesus!
TeaParty1776 you win the internet lol
Forget Lamborghini's and Ferraris, this is what a real car looks like and sounds
Mine looks and sounds exactly the same.
I love the attention I get when I'm driving it.
Awesome Gary. Best car ever to drive. Appreciate you following the Samspace81 channel sir.
@@samspace81 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🤩🤩
Best sounding engine of all time
Truth. This one was memorable
Apparently the designer, Carol Shelby, begs to differ. In the production history of the car, it was equipped with a wide variety of Ford engines. From the 289 High Performance up to the monstrously powerful SC/AC SOHC 427 in the 'R" model. The thing about second guessing a designer like Shelby is, The man and his creations are legend, the second guessers will never be.
I will never forget the summer of 1980 when I made a solo trip to L.A. and saw one on the showroom floor of Omega Motors at the corner of Wilshire and Rodeo Boulevards in the heart of Beverly Hills. I expect it was an original, because I don't even think they were producing kit cars in those days. The price tag? $100,000. And that was BACK THEN! IF you could find an original today, we'd be talking in the MILLIONS for an asking price no doubt.
Great story Dale!
My all time favorite car and the COLOR is the best too!
That's the most awesome car there is!!😎😎
60s had the best machines, simply classic beauties :)
Agree 100
When I was 15 or 16, I saw a Cobra on a used car lot. I had never seen anything like it before. If I only knew what it was. Oh well.
Love it, different times
So sick! What a dream.
Cops don’t pull over Classic cars unless they want to talk about them
True or something fell off of them, been there too ha Thanks for checking it out and following Samspace81
I hope so 🤞
take it to the dragstrip,if it runs a high mile per hour 130 plus,you will know it making some horsepower.600 hp in a 2400 lb car ,wild guess 10.00 et 140 mph in the quarter.Beautiful car,thanks for sharing a ride.
It really is the prettiest thing imaginable
nice!! nothing like the horse power and feeling that gives you. thanks.
I have a Backdraft Cobra with 450BHP and that's enough for me. 600BHP must be a real handful.
Shelby Cobra is another cool Shelby car that i love it and excellent motor power,cool car sound,i appreciate all your videos about the cars.
This old '65 GTO guy, would take half a book o tickets to drive that one single afternoon.
I hear you David. I appreciate you watching Samspace81 too
She sound's like heaven...
I've seen one of the old E-types in person and I gotta say... it really gives the cobra a run for it's money. That said, a nice factory 5 cobra with the roush 427 is still my dream car. I talked to the president and vp of factory 5 a couple years ago at the mitty in atl and discovered they're surprisingly affordable but comically impractical for me right now.
@rivercrestcolts55 Sure does! Thanks for watching the video, had a blast filming it.
@Bearpack559 Yep,caught it. This one would devour that one ;) Thanks for watching the video!
A rich kid in my town had one,I should have bought it from him. I think it cost about $7k new when he bought it. It was a beast,nothing could beat it in 1/4 mile.
Totally, it's definitely top ten for me, but that noise makes it all the more awesome, other cars might sound as good but they won't look as nice. Some cars might look as good but you can be damn sure they won't sound like that.
I can feel the ground pounding from here
Love it, thanks sir
I don't even like fords that much but that's awesome
The Miura and this thing are the most beautiful cars ever made, in my opinion of course!
Yeahh its sounded really great in WOT
there is not one thing i do not like about this car the more i know about it the more i want it
having a bad hair day
@XboobtubeX Thanks for watching! Its a high compression beast.
@snowman4839 I'm glad you enjoyed it!! Thanks for your comment & watching the video :)
@JamesReadythe5th Music to the senses! Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the ride.
It's easy with a Chevy 427 ! My '67 Vette had a 1966 vette block,427ci bored .030 over, with 10.5 to 1 forged pistons, L88 push rods, Edelbrock high rise intake,1971 Monte Carlo 454 heads, 1050 Holley double pumper, and replaced the Lunatic 608 lift cam with a milder Vette cam. After blueprinting it dynoed at 620. I did this in 1988. Not counting the blueprinting I had less than $1800 in the engine. It's easy if you know what to do. ps- My father was a Ford engineer!!!
Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear fame maintains the E type Jaguar was the nicest looking sports car ever built. WTF? Has he never seen one of these? Magnificent.
You're right about the 1050. I remember I did pull it but I don't remember with what. Got married in'93 and guess what happened to the Vette! Both are gone now. D*^n, shoul have kept my plastic fantastic.
Replica Cobras are acceptable and down right fashionable! No one laughs when you show up in a Cobra roadster. The original Cobra's are out of reach for most and seldom driven by their owners.
That motor is SICK! Actually the whole car! I'm thinking like 8 lbs of boost would be perfect for this thing. Love it
If only the body design would allow a turbo to fit
Are you kidding me... keep it NA dude! Screw turbos it doesn’t need that crap!
@dagearjammer I agree. Same here! Thanks for checking out the video.
Now that´s a man´s car.....!
A real driver's machine
Beautiful car, the cam sounds wonderful.
I thought the 302 in my 66 mustang sounded good but DAMN. that engine sounds gorgeous.
just think if the UK had not made the a.c. ace this would never have happend :)
+Andrew Predeth Yep, who knows what Carroll would have shoehorned a big American V8 into! An MG? MG Cobra???
a Sunbeam
Daimler SP (Dart)
A time before the Fun Police came into existence.
Thanks for checking it out
Great car, awesome video! I came here from another one of your videos and I gotta say, the drivers shifting has vastly improved! Keep'em comin, man!!!
Doesn't do it justice. Nothing like hearing it up close and personal.
So true Phillip
My favorite car is a shelby cobra
Me too, the ultimate driver's car
I think I need a Cobra.
Wish I owned a shelby cobra
I wish you owned one too, I could film it.
awesome, I'm amazed how the owners of these cars can show any restrain at all,I know I couldn't.
600 plus naturally aspirated hp is attainable even in small blocks with todays technology. Big cube motors even more easily. Pretty cool to be able to buy a crate motor with 600 plus hp with warranty for less than $15k. Check out Nelson Racing Engines. Lots of others out there too.
In my opinon this is the sexiest sport car ever built. Has more testerone than any Ferrari or Lambo. But iam pretty sure it would kill me...
Better than any Chevy ever.
Fair
What an amazing machine beautiful
Thanks for watching Samspace81
Such a beautiful classic car
Mario Alberto Garza Thanks for checking it out! My favorite cars to drive are these Cobra replicas.
The sound is fantastic. Great car. Take it to a banked oval. Then REALLY open it up,
I have a Backdraft with a 550HP Roush 427 engine. It is a very intimidating car. A blast to drive but very intimidating.
I've had more fun in Cobras than any classics I've filmed. Appreciate you following Samspace81, Fred. I filmed a black Backdraft nearly 2 years ago was the last one.
Awesome👍
✌️ 🇺🇸
If you don't like this car something is wrong with you
Some don't even know man, most fun I've ever had in a car
Actually, if we are being specific it is a Shelby American Cobra literally and legally, always has been. Shelby is the legal manufacturer of record, Cobra is the model of the car. Just like Ford Mustang or Chevy Corvette.
absolute beast
king of the snakes
YES! Baddest street car around, thing was a monster. Enjoy the Samspace81 channel Dan.
So much power...
Carol Shelby didn't even like the 427, he wanted the supercharged 289 small block, not only for his AC Cobra but also for the GT at lamons. Ken Miles on the other hand was delighted.
I don't know about that. I've done it several times with both GM and Ford 427's. It isn't all that tough IF you know what to do with them. A good start is to use open chamber heads planed them 10 thousandths, add a high lift mid duration cam, dual plane intake and a pair of matched Holly quads, High energy ignition, tuned headers, relieve the block, 10.5 to 1 short shirt, flat tops and I-beam billet rods and presto. Proper fuel is a must, none of that lame 87 octane crap.
King of muscle cars.
This and the ferrari 250 GTO...........Amazing
Fear the snake >:)
@cobraman428 Good advice and I wasn't the one driving. Merry Christmas!
sick ride.
when these came out, I remember hearing that a lot of people were getting killed in these.putting joe public in a basic street legal race car is asking for a death certificate...the cars were and still are brutal. and awesome
this is one of the best looking cars i've ever seen
My dream car ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Ivan for watching
agreed! my dads backdraft Cobra kicks some ass, and yes it does work.
The dogz nuts ultimate street car
Thanks 4 watching
Ran out of room. The key is oval ports. I found them much easier to get ponies out of over the square ports. And, the $1800 included the used engine! Believe it or not, with Phillips 66 gas it didn't knock, I didn't need octane booster to get the H.P. I had to use an electrical fuel pump and insulate the fuel lines with air conditioning insulation.
Who built this replica? The body looks a lot better than many of the replicas out there. Sounds great too! James garrity I'd also check out Kirkham Motorsports. They are the most accurate replica out there. So accurate in fact that they supy the aluminum bodies to Shelby for the continuation cars and they also supply Superformance with suspension components. ;)
Reminds me of my own--except I have real knock-offs.... And a Shelby autograph on the dash.
You got a float hanging
It will run fine when your giving it gas but when it goes back to idle you can hear the fluttering sound
port nut I can hear the cam just fine and I say the car sits a lot more then drove is why the carburetor is acting up but listen to it when he’s going through the gears it’s popping and he’s having trouble keeping it idling to just like it’s loading up and Carroll Shelby put the side pipes on it for a reason
Regardless if you think they hurt the power, they wouldn’t be on their if they did
This car isn't meant for idling through the mall . It's meant for the open road and no cops in sight
Good ear 👂
FORD THUNDER…UNBEATABLE.. UNMISTAKABLE
Still baddest thing I've ever been in
That's a badass car
It really was and he knew his stuff! Thanks for checking it out.
this is very nice car
@1:15, he spotted a corvette to go terrorize 🤣
This thing was the fastest car I've ever driven and I've driven a LOT of them, all of them videoed on my channel. - SAM
Aye this was in love field dallas TX
if only I could find some owner willing to give me the experience for about 5 minutes. Bucket list stuff
Yes!! You need it Robert at least once.
I think that if a cop pulls him over, the cop should compliment him on his car and let him go, no matter the speed he was doing
I believe what common sense dictates to me. A 427 cubic inch motor should not need 14:1 compression to make those numbers. I just used a magazine refrence as an easy refrence to go see. If you would like you could come out to California and I can show you motors in person. But I thought a magazine refrence would suffice. Oh, and alot of people regard 11:1 as a high compression ratio.
1:15, that's what its all about, right there.
@cobraman428 Thank you! Scariest car I've been in and I've been in about everything now (see my 780+ videos I've filmed)
i didnt know those cobras were so damn expensive !!!
My Dream Car
