Description
Collectors and investors should keep the following in mind: When it comes to cobras (replicas), the conformity of the French vehicle registration document with what the vehicle in question actually is (manufacturer, year, model, engine) is essential in order to secure your purchase. French legislation (FFVE) is very strict when it comes to replicas: in order to receive a French vehicle registration document (Collection), a replica must be more than 30 years old (date of manufacture), must no longer be in production, and must be in its original condition. By applying this rule imposed since 2014 by the French government and the FFVE, very few replicas are admissible in France. An informed buyer will therefore have to ask himself questions about the true legality of cobras with 1965 or 1966 .. 67 registration documents (unless this cobra costs 2 million and is therefore a genuine original Shelby cobra). Similarly, if a cobra from a modern replica brand that began production in 1995 or 2000 is for sale with a registration document dated 1982 or 1986 .... these cobra replicas should be avoided because their registration documents are fraudulent. Generally speaking, cobra replicas with a normal vehicle registration document are to be avoided because 99% of replicas do not have a European or French certificate of conformity (except for forgeries) .... and must therefore be the subject of an RTI (Réception Titre Isolé) with the French mines department (UTAC & DREAL) ..... In 99% of cases, these departments do not issue certificates for cobras. That's why it's almost certain that a cobra with a normal vehicle registration document has fraudulent "bogus" papers. The French government has recently launched an anti-fraud campaign against bogus registration documents. There are currently a number of cancellations of vehicle registration documents and heavy convictions. This 1993 Cobra was produced by the great American manufacturer CLASSIC MOTOR CARRIAGES (now defunct). Built in a serious manner, with a large chassis and solid parts originating from the Ford Mustang (for the most part), it is totally adapted to its Ford Cleveland V8 engine of around 500hp. Our example has a Pro touring look that is very much in vogue in California. Well-designed and well-built, our Cobra 427 SC's bodywork is a breath of modern aesthetics (reversible), while retaining the genetics typical of Cobras worthy of the name Cobra: a big, beautiful US V8 with around 500hp. Under the bonnet hides a hairy Cleveland engine stroked to 6. 7 litres. For collectors who are resistant to the Californian Pro Touring look, you should know that everything is reversible at a reasonable cost. Overall, remember that the very gleaming appearance of our Cobra CLASSIC MOTOR CARRIAGES is partly due to the fact that this 1993 replica was partly restored in 2018 (engine, brakes, shock absorbers, radiator, etc.) and has only covered 3000 km since then.
