The car was reportedly modified in the style of Doane Spencer’s Tiger race car in 2005 by David Ley of Dave’s Auto Restorations in Pennsylvania. The body is finished in Embassy Black with white over-the-top stripes, and additional exterior details include a hood scoop, a custom Lexan windshield, fender decals, brushed aluminum side mirrors, polished side-exit exhaust outlets, a LeMans-style fuel cap, and a V8 decklid badge.
Halibrand-style 15″ wheels feature knock-off hubs and wear 205/55 front and 255/45 rear Yokohama AVS tires that display pre-2000 date codes. Equipment includes a lowered suspension with Koni Classic shocks, a Wilwood dual-circuit brake master cylinder, and four-wheel disc brakes.
The cabin features Cobra-style low-back bucket seats upholstered in black leather along with color-matched carpets and bare aluminum door panels. Equipment includes a chrome-finished driver’s roll hoop, a center-mounted fire extinguisher, an engine-turned dash panel, a dash-mounted rearview mirror, and a three-spoke steering wheel with a Cobra-branded horn button.
Stewart Warner instrumentation consists of a 160-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for oil temperature, oil pressure, water temperature, voltage, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer displays approximately 1,400 miles, 100 of which were added under current ownership. True mileage is unknown.
The replacement 302ci V8 is equipped with a Holley four-barrel carburetor, AFR 1402 aluminum cylinder heads, tubular exhaust headers, a front-mount oil cooler, MSD ignition components, and finned Tiger-branded valve covers.
The engine bay displays signatures from Carroll Shelby, Cleo Shelby, and racing driver Lewis Spencer.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a Dana 44 rear end.
