You are viewing my 1967 Cobra Replica with 5068 miles. This is a very rare authentic looking build. The kit is a
RUCC Car Crafters English Roadster Build (Master craftsman Roger Upton was the owner of RUCC). It has the correct
90 inch wheelbase. This is a my 4th Cobra and in my opinion the build quality is just as good as a Backdraft, and
the RUCC body has a thicker fiberglass construction. The only reason I am getting rid of this car is because i
purchased a Kirkham.
Please read all of the details about RUCC at the end of my listing.
The paint is a 1967 Goodwood green color that is in excellent condition with some very minor scratches or chips.
The black interior is very nice and roomy for a Cobra, I am 6' 3 and I am very comfortable.
Some options that this car has; heat/defroster, wipers and AM/FM CD Stereo that is hidden in the center console.
Mechanically the car is excellent and wicked fast. Recent work that has been done in the past 100 miles, new clutch
kit, new intake gasket, new clutch master and slave cylinder.
Powerplant: 351W built by Chris'Auto in Maryland; 9.5:1 compression (est.400 hp), 0.030"-over cylinders/pistons,

Jig-welded backbone frame, body and majority of interior from RUCC. It's ruggedly engineered and constructed, with absolutely no "cowl shake" or flexing. 8.8" solid rear-end was rebuilt twice to install new 3.73:1 gears and new axle shafts from

Car is titled as a 2003 ASSMBL.THE BODY SPECS
The RUCC Body is the straightest, best fitting body on the market. Our body is a true to dimension 90 inch wheel
base, and is also true in shape to the original AC including fender lips, scoop and grill opening. Our body plug
was professionally prepped before our mold was made with new high tech resin that does not shrink. In our lay up
process we use a double lamination procedure with a skin coat. We use a DCPD resin which produces a stronger
product with less imperfections than other resins normally used in the industry. The hood, trunk lid and doors all
have full inner panels not just the outside skin. The inner hood and trunk lid panels have a 1/4 inch metal plate
glassed and pre-threaded in to attach their hinges to. The inner door panels have the door bars bolted to them for
the hinges to bolt to on the backbone chassis and the ladder frame the inner door panels have 1/4 inch metal plates
glassed in and pre-threaded to attach the door hinges to. All this combined produces a higher quality body with
unparalleled doors, trunk and hood gaps. Several auto body men claim they can have our body ready for paint in 40
hours. The same body men say that on other kit cars they quote a minimum of 200 hours. Our kit pictured in the
magazines has less than 40 hours of body work.
The RUCC body has great attention to detail for a cleaner look on a finished vehicle.
The body at the front and rear of passenger compartment has been rolled under.
The wheel well openings have been rolled under.
We have frenched in the vent openings.
We added door jambs, not only for looks, but to also give greater strength to our body.
We added a drop apron around the engine compartment not only for a more finished look but also to strengthen
our body.
We squared up the headlight, taillights and wheel well openings so the body will look symmetrical as you view
it from all angles.
BACKBONES STYLE CHASSIS
The superior backbone chassis is less prone to promote stress cracking of the body due to it
