The American manufacturer SHELL VALLEY is one of the largest and oldest in this sector. Shell Valley has been operating in the USA since 1971.
This remarkable longevity alone is a guarantee of confidence.
Some now-defunct brands, such as ARNTZ or CONTEMPORARY CLASSIC, offered "haute couture" "hand-made" COBRAs in their day, which forced them to disappear for reasons of profitability. SHELL VALLEY, on the other hand, followed a different development path, focusing on quality industrialization. This choice has undeniably brought them good fortune. For almost 50 years, Shell Valley has been conscientiously manufacturing replicas of automotive legends such as
- COBRA, DAYTONA coupé, CHEETAH ROADSTER, JEEP and other JAGUAR Type Ds
Shell Valley has long since left the world of craftsmanship to play the role of industrialist in the world of automotive replicas.
Shell Valley offers excellent after-sales service, and spare parts are readily available. The industrialization of their manufacturing process enables Shell Valley to benefit from economies of scale. As a result, their prices are quite aggressive.
For sale, 1988 COBRA SHELL VALLEY, charcoal gray exterior finish (varnish paint), with silver-gray racing stripes.

The advantages of this Cobra Shell Valley :
- Car in almost new condition, since the collector to whom it belonged drove very little. The car was stored in a heated and air-conditioned room.
- Cobra equipped with the genuine Ford Big Block V8 marketed in 1969, replacing the old 390-427-428 Ford EDSEL (FE) series from the 1950s.
Purists will say that the father of the Cobras, the great Carroll Shelby, was fitting Ford FE series V8s at the time...the truth is that SHELBY AMERICA was fitting FE V8s in Cobras in 65-66-67 because the real big-block 429 or 460, with all its advantages in terms of strength and potential, was not yet available...CQFD
