WARNING, Shelby 7000 & 8000 Series Continuation Cobra!!!

[CompClassics]

I've done several conversions to baffled stainless fuel tanks on the 7000 Series, the 7000 & 8000 Series are more labor intensive than the 4000 & 6000 Series Cobras which just drop out the bottom. Shelby also used narrower (less volume) tanks on the 7000 & 8000 Series Cobra, I have been installing full size tanks (photo above) which have increased the range for the owners. I have not spoken to one owner that was aware of the limited life of the fuel cell in their Cobras.

I was told Shelby ditched the fuel cell on CSX6000's

The 8000 frames I built used a fuel cell that was more or less the same width as an original Cobra. 7000's were narrower to fit wider rear tires. I don't know of any 8000's that were narrowed.
