Exterior Features
The body of this Cobra replica is truly amazing. It is straight and fits beautifully, painted in a fantastic GM color, Magnetic Red Metallic. The pearl white stripes outlined with a black pin stripe are stunning, and the paint is in impeccable condition. Even with a few hairline scratches and nicks here and there, the clear bra helps protect against stone chips, ensuring the color remains beautiful and the bodywork is excellent. The polished chrome roll bar, stainless steel polished pipes, and mirrors on both sides add to the exterior’s appeal, along with the chrome windshield frames and beautiful glass that is crystal clear. The car also features Hal brand wheels, BFG GeForce tires, a popup gas cap, and a convertible top along with a tanu cover.
