Interesting article about one of the rarest of all Cobras - and the Milton, Ontario shop doing the restoration.
This Cobra also stands apart because of its one-of-two, all-aluminum 390-cubic inch V-8. That engine was originally shipped to Le Mans for the Daytona Coupe, then shipped back and installed in CSX2196. Legendary is currently restoring this one-of-one Shelby, and, with the car stripped to skeleton and powertrain, its remarkable lightweight construction is laid bare. Every metal panel that could be drilled was—even the pedals resemble Swiss cheese.
“It’s a 1600-pound, 500-plus horsepower, cheater, house car”
