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 dated 1982 or 1986 .... these cobra replicas should be avoided because their registrations are fraudulent. Generally speaking, cobra replicas with a normal 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 "Réception Titre Isolé" (RTI) with the French mines department (UTAC & DREAL) .... but the latter do not issue them. That's why it's almost certain that a cobra with a normal vehicle registration document has fraudulent "bogus" papers. Note that the French government has recently launched an anti-fraud campaign against "bogus" vehicle registration documents. There are currently a number of cancellations of vehicle registration documents and heavy sentences being handed down. The Cobra we are offering here is a genuine collector's vehicle which will be sold with its FFVE collector's certificate (FFVE document already in its pocket) and its French MOT. This 1992 Cobra was produced by the great American manufacturer CLASSIC ROADSTERS. Our example is close to the finish of the 427 Semi Competition, as it has 2/ 3 of its attributes: Side Pipes and air intake on the bonnet. Its new paintwork (ivory white with blue stripes) makes for a superb appearance. This body finish is also coordinated with the interior of this Cobra, finished in navy blue. Under the bonnet hides a classic 5. 7-litre Chevrolet V8, which was bought new at the time in a crate and called the "crate engine": because of this, our engine is not a second-hand engine of unknown provenance. With more than 300 bhp administered by a very appreciable manual 5-speed gearbox (5th gear overdrive), this cobra CLASSIC ROADSTERS is ready to travel far, especially with its rear axle that pulls long (ratio 2. 73 to 1). Remember that this GM V8, with 90 million units produced, beats all marketing and reliability records: a choice that will reassure many collectors.
