The black interior is accented with polished trim along the door panels, dashboard fascia, and center console. A modern climate-control system sourced from Classic Auto Air has been installed, and further additions include a Hurst shifter, an aftermarket stereo system, and a push-button start feature.
The three-spoke steering wheel with a Cobra-branded center cap is mounted to the factory Swing-Away steering column and fronts replacement Speedhut instrumentation including a 180-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and a digital odometer displaying just over 4k miles. A 428ci FE V8 was fitted in place of the factory 390ci V8 during prior ownership. The engine is .030″ overbore, pistons sourced from Diamond Racing, and shaft-mounted rocker arms along with finned aluminum valve covers, a Cobra-branded air cleaner housing, an aluminum radiator, and an MSD ignition. The dual exhaust system is equipped with a pair of Thrush mufflers that were fitted in 2019, at which time a tune-up was performed including carburetor rebuilt professionally. Power is distributed through a Tremec six-speed manual transmission, hydraulic clutch and a 9″ rear end equipped with 4.11:1 gearing.
