Description

  Life is much more exciting in this amazing roadster, which was

  built for reliable and stress-free motoring! Strap into this

  gorgeous Superformance MKIII (SP01412) and prepared to be admired

  for its flawless red paint, stainless steel bumperettes, bold "big

  block" style hood scoop contrasting the silver ceramic coated side

  pipes and headers. Badges adorn the fenders while the convertible

  rides on traditional 15" Halibrand style knock off wheels shod with

  high performance tires.

  The Ford Racing 351 Windsor V8 churns out a tractable 385

  horsepower using a Speed Demon carburetor sitting on a dual plane

  aluminum manifold and breathing through an K&N Extreme air

  filter. A high torque starter, aluminum pulleys, stainless steel

  gas tank, oil cooler, aluminum radiator, dual fan, heater and

  defroster are superb finishing touches.

  The car has a robust 5-speed Tremec manual transmission with

  Lakewood scatter shield. The optional engine and cabin insulation

  package reduces heat and vibration felt from the tunnel box and

  footbox.

  The Ford V8 sends power to the Dana independent rear suspension.

  Power Disc 4 Piston Wilwood brakes with power assist provides with

  this MKIII with amazing stopping power while the Bilstein coil-over

  shocks, as well as upgraded front and rear sway bars maximize the

  car's handling.

  SP01412 has an elegant Moto Lita wood rim steering wheel and

  aircraft style quick release seat buckles. The period correct SC

  dash houses Smith instrument gauges, Lucas toggle switches, an amp

  gauge and a 180 mph reverse speedometer. The cockpit is swathed

  with leather including the steering wheel and the doors are secured

  by original style carriage latches; the seats are covered in

  sumptuous German leather. All openings, such as engine bay, trunk,

  and cockpit are wrapped around the steel subframe for increased

  strength and support. The roadster even sports a rare optional

  locking glove box. The fully carpeted trunk contains the battery

  with a shutoff switch.

  The Superformance MKIII is a meticulously engineered and crafted

  reproduction of the original, built under license from Carroll

  Shelby Licensing Inc. No expense was spared in recreating the

  legendary car, ensuring an authentic sports car experience.

  SP01412 is titled as a 1965 Ford in New Jersey with 13,000 miles

  and is available for only $87,950.
