The AC Shelby Cobra’s story is a tale of a legendary transatlantic partnership. Designed by the independent British manufacturer AC Cars, the Cobra was first introduced in 1962. AC Cars would build, paint, and assemble cars (without the drivetrain) and ship them to Shelby in the US to do the finishing touches, drop the drivetrains in, and put them on sale. Early 1963 saw the MkII come into the market with a mechanically redesigned front end. The Cobra now had rack and pinion steering (with the steering rack from the MGB and the steering column from the VW Beetle), while retaining the transverse leaf spring front suspension. Most Shelby Cobras were fitted with Ford 289ci (4.7L) V8s. Several variants were developed for various types of motorsports, including the S/C (semi-competition) models, which were unsold race cars that were detuned and made road-legal to sell to the public. An original S/C is said to sell for as much as US$1.5 million today. Sadly, setbacks in motorsport and other factors resulted in the Cobra being a failure (financially) for both Carroll Shelby and Ford, leading to the discontinuation of the AC Shelby Cobra in 1967. Despite this, the Shelby Cobra has become a fan favorite, as seen by the number of replicas being produced even today like the one here produced by Factory Five Racing.
This 1965 Cobra is finished in blue with white Shelby stripes running down the middle, which is an iconic color combination for Cobras. The interior is black, making the chrome (forward slanted) gear stick and the wood-rimmed, 3-spoke steering wheel stand out. The gauge cluster and the dash-mounted rear-view mirror are also very characteristically '60s. There’s also a fire extinguisher mounted between the seats for good measure. The many Shelby emblems on both the exterior and the interior (including the Cobras stitched on the seats) remind you exactly which car you’re in. This car also has air conditioning, interior lighting, and true knockoff racing wheels.
At the heart of this machine is a 302ci V8 with multi-port fuel injection, reportedly clocking 400hp on the dyno. Drilled and slotted rotors help bring all this power to a stop when needed, and the independent rear suspension helps in the corners. And it’s not just numbers on a piece of paper either, as this car is reported to have been raced at several tracks by the current owner.

One of the most sought after cars, the Shelby Cobra or AC Cobra is the result of a British and American collaboration. AC Cars of Bristol, UK, provided their compact roadster body style while Carroll Shelby who needs no introduction at all. Shelby stuffed a massive V8 into the diminutive British roadster body and a legend was born. Today, we’ve got a 1965 Shelby Cobra from Waldwick, New Jersey for sale. The car has got some neat features that make it even sweeter to drive, and is the perfect machine for a keen driver. Raw, visceral, and lacking digital distractions, it’s the perfect antidote to those who are forced to drive EVs or hybrids during the week, but seek a weekend playtoy that’s the polar opposite.
With timeless design and big-block power under the hood, this 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica offers an exhilarating driving experience in a track-inspired, street-legal package. Built by West Coast Cobra Moto and located in Huron, Ohio, this replica captures the soul of the original with a Ford 460ci V8, a muscular stance, and a blue-with-white-stripes finish that’s instantly recognizable. With just 8,066 miles on the clock, it’s a lightly used and well-kept tribute to one of the most iconic sports cars ever made.
A legend whichever way you look at it, the AC Cobra or Shelby Cobra is a car that was the result of Carroll Shelby’s engineering genius and AC Cars of Britain’s experience with diminutive open-topped sports cars. Stuffing an American V8 into a compact British roadster body created this mad machine, of which less than 1,000 original examples were made between 1962 and 1967. Today, getting your hands on an original Cobra is a difficult and rather expensive task. It’s not uncommon to find mint examples of the original being sold for high six, or even seven figure prices. Thankfully, outfits such as Factory Five Racing exist, and build fine replicas. They even endow them with some modern touches and creature comforts, such as what this 1965 Shelby Cobra by Factory Five Racing comes with. Available in Harbor Springs, Michigan, this car has just 3,000 miles to its name. Let us tell you all about it.

You’d be hard pressed to find an automotive enthusiast who wouldn’t want a timeless Porsche 356 Speedster. While original cars have become prohibitively rare and expensive, the glorious concept of continuation cars means that the dream can still be attainable to many. This 1987 Vintage 356 Speedster Replica offers the look and feel of a classic roadster without the upkeep or price tag of an original. Built by Classic Motor Carriages and located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, this beautifully presented replica is powered by a 1.6-liter Volkswagen engine, paired to a 4-speed manual transmission and wrapped in an eye-catching shade of metallic green.
One of the most desirable and hard-to-find classic Porsches is the 356. This was Porsche’s first road-going car, introduced in 1948 and designed by Ferry Porsche, son of Ferdinand Porsche, the original designer of the Volkswagen Beetle. As you’d probably expect, there are some shared components between the 356 and the Beetle, but their value propositions differ massively. Unlike the bug-eyed machine for cheap and cheerful family motoring, the 356 was meant to be a lightweight, nimble sports car. It was offered as a fixed-head coupe, a convertible, and a chopped-down speedster with a lower roof profile and shorter windshield for that ultimate open-air sports car experience. While getting your hands on an original 356 is hard and costly, we’ve got a nice replica here for sale today. Check out this 2007 Classic Motor Carriages Porsche 356 Speedster Replica from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The car comes to you with just over 100 miles to its name, and is an eye-catching beauty that will definitely turn heads wherever you go with it.
