The Shelby Cobra is a standout among America's sports car legends, embodying an iconic status with its distinct design and thunderous V8 engine. Securing an original Shelby Cobra is a daunting challenge, given their rarity and the competition to acquire one at auction.

This replica is built by the builders at Factory Five Racing and offers an authentic nod to the original Cobra's legacy without compromising on the thrill of driving.
Back in the swinging '60s, a bold marriage between a brawny American engine and a lithe British chassis set the stage for a performance car revolution. These amalgams not only clinched victories in international races but also ascended to legendary status, evolving into sought-after collector's items, some worth more than one million dollars! Now, E.R.A. unveils an economical alternative that seamlessly channels the classic style and performance of that era. This 1965 Shelby Cobra ERA Conversion Kit offer you the chance to revel in Carrol Shelby's brilliant craftsmanship without breaking your bank. With a mere 2,220 miles on the odometer, this masterpiece is up for grabs in sunny California.
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.
There are few cars that can embed themselves into popular culture the way the achingly beautiful third-generation Chevrolet Impala has. The model featured many design flourishes that epitomized the ’50s and ‘60s, including the car’s long and flowing lines, low roof, lashing of chrome, wrap-around windshield, and distinctive c-pillar design. The car we offer for sale here takes the traditional Impala recipe and adds so much more. Under the hood, you’ll find a modern GM LS V8 engine, which just so happens to have a supercharger strapped to it for good measure. This 1962 Chevrolet Impala SS restomod has undergone an extensive restoration and features a host of new parts and upgraded tech. It could be yours, with just 2,500 miles recorded since the restoration was completed.
The 1957 Ford Thunderbird was an icon the moment it left its factory floors; it had iconic '50s styling that was jaw-dropping, the luxury that most '50s American motors are renowned for, and performance that was supposed to take on the first-generation Chevrolet Corvette. Present today is not just any first-generation Ford Thunderbird, but this sought-after 1957 Ford Thunderbird E-Code. Built to turn heads as you drive by, this 50s icon can be your weekend cruiser that's best enjoyed with its top-down and picturesque back road.
The golden era of muscle cars is widely thought to have peaked around the late ’60s and early ’70s. It was the time before stricter emissions and economic regulations came into play that put an end to the ever-swelling engine capacities and power outputs that manufacturers used to lure customers into their showrooms. The 1969 Pontiac GTO Coupe defined this golden era. With its stunning and aggressive design and scarcely believable engine configurations under the hood, the GTO is a true muscle car in every sense of the word. Our featured vehicle celebrates this era of design and power. It comes with the iconic 400 ci engine that has been freshly rebuilt, along with a host of new parts and accessories, enabling you to taste the best of the original muscle car era.
