FPV GT Cobra for Sydney Auction
Published July 21st, 2008
The first FPV GT Cobra sold to the public will go under the hammer at Shannons Sydney Winter Auction on Monday July 21, representing a unique opportunity for Ford enthusiasts and collectors.
Fitted with a 302kW 5.4-litre V8 with an upgraded engine management system, increased compression ratio, re-profiled camshafts, valves and a new exhaust, the FPV GT was launched last year with a choice of manual or automatic transmission – each with six forward ratios and a limited-slip diff as standard.
Upgraded R-spec suspension and unique 19-inch alloy wheels completed the package, while in the best Cobra tradition, all cars were finished in white with twin blue racing stripes along with Cobra snake badges on the boot, sides and seats.
Shannons are expecting the BF GT to sell in the $75-$90,000 range in line with the $92,000 paid for a similar unused 2007 FPV GT manual at this year’s Shannons Brisbane Motor Show auction in February.
