1965 Shelby Cobra Replica

Description

This Shelby Cobra replica is the best of both worlds. It's a highly desirable Factory Five body with a modern fuel-injected 5.0-liter Ford V8 and a build date that's likely less than a decade old. But its also titled as a 1965 model, which makes it a classic that's connected to part of the genuine small-block Cobra era.

You already know that Factory Five Racing makes some of the best Cobras in the business and building one from scratch isn't a bad idea. But if you're the impatient type or a guy who doesn't feel like investing a small fortune in a custom build, then this car is right up your alley. It's a complete and straight roadster finished in a deep blue that looks great on this American racing legend. Laid on top is a set of white stripes that really give this roadster an iconic appearance. Plus, its got all the details you want, including the jack bumpers, flip up racing gas cap, and dual roll hoops, so you can share this wide-open bare-knuckled wild ride with someone special.

The interior definitely gets the Shelby attitude right, with new wrap-around bucket seats from Factory Five and full Simpson racing harnesses. The driver gets the full Cobra experience with the three spoke wood steering wheel and the shift lever that's been reversed to fit the driver perfectly. The leather-wrapped dash has the cool Cobra chrome logo, but if you're going to use this on the track, you'll be paying more attention to the full AutoMeter gauge package. There's no radio, no heater, no A/C – this is a competition machine that's all about the driving experience and nothing else needs to get in the way.

Under the hood is a Ford legend, but a much more recent one than you find in most Cobras. The 5.0 fuel-injected V8 fires right up and gives this Cobra a true performance advantage. This motor is already renowned for power, and there's a huge parts catalog available to maintain and enhance this V8 on any budget. The roadster feels confident on the road, which is the true sign of a build that spared no expense. The side pipes sound like a personal symphony for those of us who love to really drive. And thanks to the five-speed manual transmission, you are the in full control of this concert. Keeping you connected to the road and on the best racing line is a race-inspired suspension (independent front, coilover rear). Plus, you get the control of a four-wheel disc brake package that is linked to grippy Goodyear Eagle ZR-rated tires mounted on cool five-spoke Cobra R wheels.

You're looking at a true classic with a modern, aggressive attitude. It's easy to love this Cobra, and since it's so easy to take it home, we know this roadster won't be with us very long. Call today!!!
