Kansas City, MO - October 21, 2004 — Hurricane Motorsports is proud to announce its new 427 Roadster kit - an affordable replica of the famous Shelby 427 S/C Cobra. Hurricane has focused its efforts on the design of their new 427 Roadster producing a top quality replica at an affordable price.
The Hurricane 427 Roadster kit has been designed using all new parts. The kit features small, tight seam-lines in the period correct body, custom wiring harness, narrowed Ford 9" rear-end, custom aluminum radiator with angled inlets and outlets, pre-bonded 2-piece doors and hoods, and the ability to paint the body off the car – all of which reflect Hurricane’s commitment to producing a quality, "buildable" Cobra Replica kit. This kit does not require a donor – you don’t need any old, used-up parts you have to remove from a tired, rusty, junkyard vehicle.
