Superformance Shelby Cobra

For over 30 years we’ve specialized in the Superformance line of Cobras, Superformance Shelby Cobras— the only Cobra continuation cars built under license from Carroll Shelby. With over 800 MKIII, 289, and CSXseries Cobras completed, we have the experience to build, upgrade, and maintain these iconic roadsters. From high-mileage builds (100 k miles and more) to full drivetrain upgrades, suspension/brake enhancement and ongoing service  you get a car that looks, sounds and drives like a Cobra, but also performs reliably in real-world use. We handle everything from factory rolling chassis completion to modern powertrain integration. 

We equip modern drivetrains (Ford 289/302/427/460, modern Tremec or other transmissions) while retaining classic styling and chassis integrity. 

We provide full service and upgrade packages: suspension rebuilds, brake system enhancements, custom interiors, exhaust, wiring, and long-term maintenance. 

Our builds are registered, documented, and built to perform — some of our cars have exceeded 100 k miles and still deliver the drive experience and reliability of new. 

Because Superformance builds are highly accurate in dimension and build quality (box-frame ladder chassis, full independent suspension, licensed bodywork) your investment retains strong value. 

Olthoff Racing can also supply the needed items for you to complete your own drivetrain installation – custom motor mounts, driveshaft and clutch actuation parts.

My cousin and I recently picked up his Superformance Cobra after service work. We had a part failure on the trip home. Dennis, Scottie, and crew were very responsive and came out to pick up the car. After a short delay for new part installation, we were back on the road home. Clearly, these guys have passion for the cars and take pride in their work. I would highly recommend them to anyone in the market for AC Cobras, GT40s, Daytona Coupes, and for service work on your classic race cars.

Always have time to visit with the gang at Olthoff Racing! How can you not be in awe of the many Cobras, Daytona Coupes, Mustangs and more! What a treat!

Olthoff racing is a crew of really great people. Definitely a go-to if you need any high end classic, shelby, or GT40 work or leads!

I’ve dealt with Dennis and his crew for years! Their passion for their cars and services shows each time I’ve dealt with them.. I bought my “Cobra” from them recently and couldn’t be happier with the car or the service.. Ask for Scottie!
