I was searching around today looking at all kinds of cars that don't exist in the US and stumbled upon this beauty!



The price of a body chassis unit is $22,000 ex factory and a deposit of $5000 is required with the order.

The DRB 540 can be completed for a budget of $50 - $60K providing the customer undertakes all the assembly work.


DRB 540

Ford USA produced the Shelby Concept Cobra and displayed the prototype at motor shows in USA during 2004. The car was fitted with a 6.8 litre, V10 motor and a rear mounted transaxle and suspension components from the Ford GT. Although the car was well received, possibly due to financial constraints, production of the car did not proceed. The Concept Cobra provided the inspiration for producing a similar looking car and it is named the DRB 540.

The chassis is supplied with all the mounts to accept BA/BF(aka ford falcon also no sold in the US!!) engine, transmission, front and rear suspension, steering rack, radiator, steering column, pedal box, brake booster and master cylinder, dashboard etc, so the assembly of the car only involves bolting all the components into the chassis. A CD is supplied that provides full details of the assembly and build of the car. The body-chassis unit is supplied with the body attached to the chassis, with the bonnet, boot and doors all hinged and aligned and windscreen fitted. The body-chassis unit accepts all the components from the donor Ford BA/BF (2003 - 2008), XR8, GT or GTP. This means the completed DRB540 has Power steering, Cruise control, Traction control, ABS, Radio/CD sound system and electric mirrors. Power windows have been developed and these can be purchased as a kit.
