Want a Shelby Cobra in your life but can’t stretch to the six-figure sums that originals tend to change hands for? No worries, consider a replica like this sub 33,000-mile 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica Backdraft Roadster. With its catchy blue and white striped paint job, punchy 347ci V8 under the hood and overall sense of raciness, this car currently resides in Murphy, North Carolina. And let us tell you, it’s true to Carroll Shelby’s vision of the original Cobras to a great degree. That pert British roadster body, the massive American V8 thrust under the hood and barely fitting inside, the ludicrous driving experience, it’s all right here for the taking! A plate on the car reveals that the car was built in South Africa by Tr-Tec Pty Ltd.

The Shelby Cobra is a rare example of a car that’s highly desirable on both sides of the Atlantic. It’s the result of the prolific Carroll Shelby deciding to take a compact British roadster from AC Cars and stuff an American V8 into its engine bay. The result is a fantastically fearsome beast that’s a true driver’s car, and a race track demon. All in all, less than a thousand official Cobras were made between 1962 and 1967. Of course, at the time, scant thought was paid towards preservation of the model for future generations. This means that high six figure price tags are normal for average-condition cars, with mint examples commanding seven figures. However, plenty of replicas do exist for those who want to get their Cobra fix at a far more reasonable price. Today’s 2016 Shelby Cobra Replica is a prime example, and it’s up for sale in California with just 3,196 miles on the clock.
