Factory Turn-Key Build, Joe Lapine 427, Well-Documented
1965 Shelby Cobra ERA 427 – Factory Turn-Key Build, Joe Lapine 427, Well-Documented
This stunning 1965 Shelby Cobra is a genuine ERA 427 SC, factory-built as a complete turn-key car by ERA in 2000–2001. It is not a kit car assembled in someone's garage—this is a professionally constructed example with full documentation and original invoices totaling $67,500 at the time of build. Replacing this car today would easily cost well over six figures, and with ERA currently not accepting new orders, this is a rare opportunity to own one of the most respected Cobra replicas ever made—ready to enjoy right now.
Highlights:
ERA Factory Turn-Key Car – Built by ERA, not a home-assembled kit
Joe Lapine-Built 427 FE V8 – Edelbrock aluminum heads & intake, Holley 750 carb
Balanced & Blueprinted – Built to exacting specs, with supporting documentation
Tremec TKO 600 5-Speed Transmission – Smooth shifting and highway-capable
Lakewood Scattershield Bellhousing – Safety and performance combined
Oil Cooler with Remote Filter – Authentic race-inspired cooling system
Jaguar Independent Rear Suspension – ERA-standard rear with custom axles
Powder-Coated Frame – Durability and presentation quality
Tony's Auto Body Paint – ERA's trusted painter; deep, glossy finish
Smiths Gauges – Authentic British instrumentation (Speedo replaced at 12k miles)
Leather Interior – Classic Cobra look with lasting comfort
Remote Battery Shut-Off in Trunk – Safety and convenience
$1,500 Custom Stereo Hidden in Glove Box – Modern sound, vintage look
Sierra Big Front Brake Option – Upgraded stopping power
Turkey Pan Intake Shield – Period-correct under-hood detail
Well-Sorted and Ready to Drive – Needs nothing but a driver
This ERA Cobra is a collector-grade example with a professionally built and documented drivetrain, show-quality fit and finish, and performance to match its legendary looks. Whether you're looking for a turn-key driver, a weekend showpiece, or a track-day terror, this ERA 427 delivers on every front.
