429-Powered Hunter Cobra Replica 5-Speed
Live on Bring a Trailer · Shelby Cobra Cobra Replica · 2,200 miles · Orwigsburg, PA

This Cobra replica is said to have been assembled in 2005 with a kit from Hunter Manufacturing of Florida. Power comes from a 429ci big-block V8, which was rebuilt during a $75k overhaul that was completed in 2025 by Decordre Automotive & Performance of Spring City, Pennsylvania. The car features QA1 adjustable coilovers, Howe Racing disc brakes, 15″ Torq Thrust wheels, a Demon 850 CFM carburetor, a Tremec five-speed manual transmission, a Ford 9″ rear end with a locking differential, and a black interior with a Carroll Shelby signature on the glovebox door. This Cobra replica now shows 2,200 miles, and it is offered by the selling dealer with a Pennsylvania title, which lists a make of Special Construction, with no model year. The fiberglass bodywork features a Gunmetal Gray finish with Charcoal racing stripes. Some dings are noted in the side pipes, which were fabricated and installed in May 2025. The selling dealer reports that the car’s triangulated 4-link rear suspension was built and installed by Johnny Benson Sr. of Grand Rapids, Michigan. The car rides on QA1 adjustable coilovers, and its 15″ Torq Thrust wheels are mounted with BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. Four-wheel disc brakes with Howe Racing calipers provide stopping power. The black interior has low-back seats, carpeted floors, and Tilton race pedals. The glovebox door bears a Carroll Shelby signature. The selling dealer adds that the car is equipped with a push-button line lock that doubles as a parking brake. The leather-wrapped steering wheel fronts AutoMeter instruments, and it is mounted on a column that was rebuilt in 2025. A digital fan-control module is installed below the dashboard. The five-digit odometer shows 2,200 miles. The selling dealer tells us the engine is a 429ci V8 with a D1VE engine block and Edelbrock Performer RPM aluminum cylinder heads. In May 2025, the engine was removed and disassembled for a machine-shop overhaul, at which time its camshaft, bearings, connecting rods, and pistons were replaced along with additional elements, which are itemized in records that accompany the car. Other details include a Demon 850 CFM carburetor, a Weiand Stealth high-rise intake, and MSD ignition components. A Tremec TKO 600 five-speed manual transmission sends power to a Ford 9″ rear end with a Detroit Locker and 4.11:1 gearing. The clutch pilot bearing was also replaced in 2025 along with axle seals, and the rear wheel bearings were re-packed. A three-page invoice exceeding $75k for services in 2025 is shown further at the end of the gallery below.
