This Cobra 427 was successfully campaigned in the 1966 by the Ford of Canada works driver George Eaton. Despite being only twenty years old he coped with the 550 bhp remarkably well, winning his class in all eighteen regional and national races he competed in. In a 6 Hours race at Mosport he even beat his team's Ford GT40. It has since survived virtually undamaged with the original and body still fitted. Painted in familiar Cobra colours, the very rare 427 Cobra is seen in action here at the 2006 Monterey Historic Races.
