Winning the “Rivalries of the Ages” class (along with the 1966 Chevrolet Corvette 427/425 Roadster), which celebrates competition between carmakers of the era, is the last original Shelby 427 Cobra ever built. Owned by Bruce Canepa of Scotts Valley, Calif., this Shelby 427 Cobra has gone through a full restoration using all of its original factory components and retains all of its original hardware, leather, vinyl, and wiring. The Shelby 427 Cobra was originally designed with a 7-liter, 485 hp Ford “side oiler” engine, but many of the production cars were fitted with Ford’s less-expensive 428, intended for road use. This particular example has been driven lightly, with less than 6,100 miles on the odometer. (signatureevents.peninsula.com)
