This example of the 1965 Shelby Cobra ERA Conversion Kit dons a striking blue coat—the very essence of the original Cobra iconography. Freshly painted in 2022, it boasts white racing stripes nodding to its storied racing lineage. Adorning the car's flank are new mufflers reminding of poised torpedoes. At ground level, recently fitted BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires provide traction, while new brakes deliver the essential stopping prowess. Every gleaming chrome accent you see that is beautifully placed around the car is new brightwork. These include the front and rear bumpers, the window frame, and the roll bar that is exposed behind the seats. Cobra badging is presented on the hood and rear of the car, while the Ford emblem graces the front fenders. Wrapped in black leather, the two seats inside the cockpit provide comfortable seating. A wooden steering wheel adds a classic touch, while a minimalist dash hosts two gauges in front of the wheel. Centered on the dash, five gauges accompanied by toggle switches recall a bygone era of automotive craftsmanship.
Nestled within the hood of this 1965 Shelby Cobra ERA Conversion Kit is a naturally aspirated 289 cu in V8 engine delivering a robust 271 horsepower and an impressive 311 lb-ft of torque. The harmonious marriage of power and efficiency is enhanced by an automatic transmission. Adding to its arsenal of performance enhancements, the engine is armed with a new carburetor, as reported by the current owner.

The fearsome AC Cobra is a car that every petrolhead dreams about owning or at least driving. The brainchild of the prolific Carroll Shelby, it saw the marriage of a pert British roadster with a brutish American V8. Since less than a thousand original Cobras were produced, as you can imagine, finding one is tough. However, thanks to firms such as Factory Five Racing, there are plenty of excellent replicas around that not only emulate but improve upon the original's already eye-widening performance. This Factory Five-built machine has done 32,000 miles, highlighting that it's not a car that must be carefully tucked away and brought out when the stars align. No, you can drive it as often as you desire and dare.
While there have been multiple generations of the Chevrolet Camaro, the 1969 model year is one of the most loved by many. The design is timeless and inspired the 2010 revival of the model with the fifth generation. The Camaro was made in response to the success of Ford’s hit, the Mustang. Although the Blue Oval had a headstart, the first-generation Camaro was able to fine-tune the formula, using a brand new F-Body platform and a range of straight-six and V8 engines. For the 1969 model year, the Camaro featured an all-new design, with an aggressive and angular front end, wider “coke-bottle” hips, and new doors. Our featured 1969 Chevrolet Camaro is a restomod with a new supercharged 376ci LSX V8 engine under the hood, as well as several upgrades. The owner reports that this Camaro has only 5,828 miles on it since the build was completed.
Cadillac’s Series 62 range of cars is one of the most iconic designs of the 1950s. This generation of Series 62 came in a variety of body styles, including hardtop, sedan, and convertible variants. The convertible is perhaps one of the most sought-after configurations today, and for good reason. It makes a statement wherever you go and was adored by the rich and famous of the era. While these cars proved popular with the elite, finding an original condition example with low mileage would be a tough ask today. However, our featured car is just that, reported as mostly original and featuring an owner-reported mileage of just 27,000.
The '70s saw big changes for the American automotive industry; the oil crisis meant large gas guzzlers were out the door, and the American car buyer had to embrace the fuel-sipping performance showcased by imports.

Are you looking to get your hands on your very own example of unfiltered muscle? This 1970 Plymouth Road Runner could be the answer.
