Build it yourself starting with one of our build stage options or have Kiwiracecars manage this for you, then just drive it away.

Nearly thirty years after it first turned heads, the Carroll Shelby Cobra still epitomizes the peak of high performance motoring in the US and around the world. That feeling of power is yours to encounter anew with the turnkey Cobra from GBRC NZ Ltd - 'KiwiRaceCars.com' and ALMAC cars. KiwiRaceCars.com has captured the spirit and reclaimed the glory with this turn-key replica Cobra that is truly remarkable in its accuracy to detail and excellence in engineering. 

As KIT CAR magazine wrote in a feature article, about our Cobra - "This car  is  well  built  by people who care about and enjoy their work, and it shows in their product".  
In short, when it comes to Cobra replicas, ours is a true original!

An Investment You’ll Appreciate while it Appreciates

If you think our Cobra is prized today for its nostalgic appeal, just wait until to see how the interest in your car pays dividends year after year. Our superior construction, materials, engineering and    attention to detail ensure that your car will continue to be worth top dollar. And that your turn-key Cobra will be a worthy successor to the Cobra legend.

Crafted to Exacting Specifications
 
Our 90 inch wheelbase 427 turnkey Cobras utilize a ladder style frame with several cross members for rigidity as well as a big X-member in the centre of the frame. And rather than rely on a Jaguar, Mustang II or MGB for the front suspension, we’ve designed our own fully adjustable independent un-equaled top and bottom Chrome Moly A-Arms for greater authenticity.
Sliding through our A-Arms are QA1 shocks and springs with sway bars fitted at the front and back. Speaking of the back, the rear suspension is our own independent 9" with CV Joints, Alloy T6 Housing and Hub Carriers, QA1 Alloy shocks and springs, externally adjustable for damping and height. Just about any powerhouse can be ordered including the Ford 302 or 427 powerhouses that made Cobra synonymous with awesome performance.
The body of our Cobra is a superior fibre glass construction with hand-laid elements for a perfect fit. As you may expect, all the edges have returns and the fibre glass mat is fully impregnated, which leaves no hairs or strings. The body is reinforced throughout the high stress areas and the doors have side impact beams. The interior is truly a sight to behold. Every Cobra is very nicely finished in a choice of leather upholstery and cut-pile carpet. The gauges are strategically positioned to render them easy to read at a glance.
And we offer you a choice of restraint systems; you can select the traditional four point system or a single shoulder and lap belt combination.  
The legendary performance of our turn-key cobra is due in a large part to its feel. Which is accomplished by adjusting the pedal cluster to the setting that’s comfortable for you and by installing the diameter of steering wheel that truly makes this machine an extension of your body .  

THE DIFFERENCE with our car compared to others is that you are not buying a "kit". You're  not  buying a car that requires you to chop up a floor pan from some other car. You're not buying a car that has it's body altered in size and shape to accommodate a bunch of miss-matched parts.

We don’t provide an empty body shell then tell you to find the rest of the car somewhere else.  

REMEMBER -   "PURPOSE BUILT FOR YOUR COBRA"

We have a purpose built chassis with all mounting points on it, the chassis comes with VIN number and all matching steel work has been installed into your body insuring a bolt on fit every time. Keeping this in mind some cars have their bodies bonded permanently to the chassis which  makes it difficult to run brake lines and effect repairs as well as painting. 

We have purpose built front A-Arms to take QA1 shocks, fully adjustable for damping as well as height, we also keep a range of springs in stock to customize your ride. 

We don’t use Torana, Jag, Lexus or any other bolt in front ends.
 
We do have our own custom built independent 9" Diff, un-equaled top and bottom Chrome Moly A - Arms and CV joints. All axles and drive flanges are made for us by Precision Cam Drives in Australia. The center housing is our own alloy casting as well as the outer bearing carriers - all heat treated to T6. OUTBOARD disc and 4 pot Wilwood calipers are also a feature of the Independent 9". You still have the option of the Jag IRS rear, which we shorten to the correct width; we also modify it for full caster and camber adjustment.
