1965 Shelby Cobra Factory Five

Description

This 1965 Shelby Cobra is a blackout mean machine that has the look of intimidation. Plus, there's the fuel-injected V8 and five-speed to make sure this is both fast and aggressive.

Matte black is always one of the most sinister ways to represent a street machine. But you'll also appreciate the details it brings. The quality application has a soft glow to show off the smooth lines of the quality Factory Five fiberglass body. Plus, the racing stripe and roll hoops look extra cool in gloss black. Even the side pipes get in on this midnight attitude. All this darkness is contrasted nicely with nice brightwork elements like quick jack bumpers, headlight surrounds, and chrome windshield bezel. And you especially take note of the modern 17-inch alloys that have an aggressive style that looks like they can barely be contained by the flared fenders.

The full black interior keeps the mean attitude going inside. There are all the competition-inspired elements you love about a Cobra, like well low-back bucket seats, five-point racing harnesses, a wood-rimmed sports steering wheel, and a shifter bent forward for a better driver's placement. And the dash has a nice smooth layout where it's dominated by the full AutoMeter readout package.

When you look under the hood of a Cobra, there's nothing better to see than proper Ford power. And while the 302 cubic-inch V8 has delivered decades of hardy power to Ford products, the gray Cobra intake tells you this is a more modern fuel-injected setup. So you get upgraded power and consistency while still getting a terrific classic growl out of the side pipes. Plus, the fundamentals like the plug wires, belts, and hoses are all fresh, and you have an aluminum radiator with an electric fan. So it makes for a robust full package. The T56 five-speed manual transmission gives you full control over the V8's power and muscular soundtrack. Keeping you connected to the road is a suspension with strong tubular control arms, coilovers, grippy sport tires, and slotted front disc brakes.

All Shelbys have a mean attitude, but few can wear it as clearly as this full dark Cobra. So don't miss this deal, call today!
