Overview of 1979 Chevrolet Corvette Cobrette For Sale by Owner

Everyone loves the iconic Shelby Cobra. In addition to being a racing-bred platform known for its speed and power, the Cobra is one of the most iconic shapes in automotive history. Only a limited number of original cars exist, but thanks to amazing replicas like our featured car, many more can enjoy the thrill of owning one of these coveted machines. Reportedly built by the replica maestros over at Group Five Limited, this Cobra replica goes about things a little differently from most. The majority of Corba replicas are based on Ford underpinnings, while this creation uses that of a 1979 Chevrolet Corvette, creating what is known as a “Cobrette.” Powered by a high-performance 350ci V8 that the owner tells us was built by Skip White Performance, it delivers a reported 418 horsepower, all controlled through a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission. Finished in striking Ford Red with white stripes, this Cobrette is a fusion of retro styling and contemporary muscle.

Exterior and Interior

This 1965 Group Five Limited Cobrette Kit looks nothing like your regular ’Vette thanks to the Group Five Limited Cobrette kit. The main element is the body: crafted from hand-laid fiberglass and Kevlar, ensuring a lightweight yet durable construction. The Ford Red paintwork, accented by bold white stripes, provides a nod to the car’s roots. The car sits on five-spoke wheels from American Racing, which are wrapped in Cooper Cobra rubber. Inside, the black interior maintains a driver-focused layout, with classic bucket seats and period-correct details. An AM/FM radio adds to the vintage feel, complementing the performance-oriented atmosphere.

Engine

Under the hood, the owner reports that the 350ci V8 has been built by Skip White Performance. Performance upgrades include a Holley quick fuel carburetor, MSD ignition, and Mallory wires. The engine puts out a reported 418 hp, with power being directed to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission,
