Hey Folks. I recently found a 66 Cobra roadster replica that caught my eye through a dealer. However the dealer has limited information about the manufacturer of the Kit. Definitely not a factory five. The dealer assumed that it is a street beast but I am not sure about that either. Has the Shelby American badge within the engine bay. Here are some pics. Any help would be great

The big, near vertical radiator opening, upright rear leg of the roll bar, fuel filler location, shape of the scoop and wide flange around the engine bay and cockpit are all Street Beast characteristics.

Not disputing what Jeff said, but you will get a more accurate assessment if you include photos of the front and rear suspensions and frame.

My gut says what Jeff stated above - more-than-likely a Street Beast. IF front suspension looks like early Mustang II (Pinto) and the rear end is one of the early 8" versions, also traits of a Street Beast.
