The iconic AC/Shelby Cobra is one of the most sought-after British-American sports cars in the world. The result of a collaboration between Carroll Shelby and British firm AC Cars, the Cobra saw less than 1,000 examples built in total. Today, genuine AC Cars/Shelby Cobras fetch millions of dollars, which is why you’ll be grateful to know that there are plenty of replicas. Massachusetts-based Factory Five Racing is one such firm which has made some Cobra replicas, such as this 1965 Ford Cobra by Factory Five Racing that’s now for sale. Bearing just 32,735 miles on the clock, here’s your chance to own as close to an original Cobra as possible – right down to the Ford V8 that makes it go!
Exterior and Interior
Wearing a silver suit with black over-the-top stripes, this 1965 Ford Cobra by Factory Five Racing is as close to the original as possible. It rolls on 17-inch vintage pin drive wheels, and features a full powder-coated frame for longevity. Then, you’ll notice the Anniversary Edition Cobra brake calipers behind the wheels. Low-slung and featuring all lighting to make it road legal, this is a car you could drive to work and back if you dare. But be warned, it’s an open-topped roadster with a tiny windshield and nothing else to protect you from the elements. After all, the original Cobra wasn’t meant to be a cossetting luxury car either. The interior of this car further cements the fact that this 1965 Ford Cobra by Factory Five Racing is a serious racing machine that’s been tamed for the road – just about. You’ve got racing harnesses for the two Cobra Classic leather-upholstered seats, a Moto Lita leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a bevy of gauges. There’s a single bottle holder on the dashboard, but that’s about it for creature comforts. As for cargo, the trunk is taken up by the radiator, so you’d better not put anything heavy or sensitive there.
Engine
This 1965 Ford Cobra by Factory Five Racing is powered by a custom-built 351ci V8, paired with a Tremec 5-speed manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive. The car comes with a Ron Davis aluminum exterior, an FMS King Cobra clutch, ventilated disc brakes, and more.
This 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica by Backdraft Racing delivers the kind of raw, analog experience that made the original Cobra such an icon, while adding the more modern chassis engineering Backdraft is known for. Showing just 3,314 miles, this example is powered by a 427ci Ford Racing V8 paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. Finished in Gray Metallic with racing stripes over a black leather interior, it brings together classic Cobra proportions, a big-block-style powertrain, side-exit exhaust, knock-off-style wheels, and an unmistakably purposeful cockpit.

Highlights include a Ford Motorsport Boss 302ci crate V8, Holley HP multi-point electronic fuel injection, a 5-speed manual transmission, custom Moser 8.8-inch rear end, Koni double-adjustable coilovers, and engraved 15th Anniversary Halibrand-style knock-off wheels. Special badging, exclusive gauges, anniversary floor mats, and extensive polished and engine-turned detailing further distinguish this limited-production roadster.

The result is a lightweight, open-top roadster with the raw V8 character and unmistakable proportions enthusiasts expect from a Cobra-style build.
