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 CSX‐series 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.
