This LA Exotics Cobra replica was assembled in 1999 and purchased by the owner in 2000. It is powered by a 351ci Windsor V8 topped with a Holley four-barrel carburetor and linked to a Toploader four-speed manual transmission. The fiberglass body is finished in red with white stripes and features a driver’s roll hoop, side exhaust pipes, mesh headlight covers, and painted bumpers. Inside, the low-back bucket seats are trimmed in beige and accompanied by a wood-rimmed steering wheel, push-button start, and Cobra-branded harnesses. Additional equipment includes independent front suspension, rack-and-pinion steering, front disc brakes, and 15″ American Racing wheels. This LA Exotics Cobra replica is now offered at no reserve by the seller on behalf of the owner with build records and a California title that describes the car as a Special Construction with no model year.
The fiberglass body is finished in red with white stripes, and details include a single roll hoop, a hood scoop, a fender-mounted side mirror, wind wings, a LeMans-style fuel filler cap, mesh headlight covers, and side-exit exhaust pipes.
The 15″ American Racing wheels are wrapped in older 255/60 Defender SRX+4 radial tires. The car rides on independent front suspension along with a solid rear axle, and it features power rack-and-pinion steering along with front disc brakes and rear drums.
The low-back bucket seats, center console, and door panels are trimmed in beige upholstery and accompanied by a chrome fire extinguisher and Cobra-branded harnesses. Appointments include push-button start, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, a dash-mounted mirror, and a map light. Wear on the carpet and console upholstery is pictured in the gallery below.
The upholstered dash panel houses AutoMeter Pro-Comp gauges consisting of a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer, a clock, and readouts for water temperature, oil pressure, amperage, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 7k miles.
The 351ci Windsor V8 was rebuilt and installed in 1999 and features a Holley four-barrel carburetor along with Cobra-branded valve covers. The oversize radiator is accompanied by an electric pusher fan and dual puller fans.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a Toploader four-speed manual transmission with a Centerforce clutch.
The California title describes the car as a Special Construction with no model year and lists the VIN as the California assigned identification number CA815711. The California Bureau of Automotive Repair vehicle information label describes the car as a 1997 Special Construction and the engine as a 1969 Ford 5.8-liter. The car last passed a California SMOG inspection in September 2021.
