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.
This 1965 Factory Five Ford Cobra Replica showcases the iconic Cobra muscular lines in a red paint job that's complemented by a set of matte gray racing stripes running down the top of the car. Furthermore, you'll find the black alloy wheels wrapped in medium-profile tires lend the car a particularly impressive stance that tastefully straddles the line between classic and modern. As you've no doubt gleaned, this is an open-topped car with no convertible top. However, there is a set of dual roll bars to ensure adequate safety. And yes, the car is road-legal, as evidenced by its full set of lighting that includes turn indicators and proper headlamps. Open a door and enter the two-seat cabin, or hop over the side since the car sits low to the ground. The choice is yours. Either way, you'll enter a black cabin with two leather-trimmed low-back seats. Each seat sports a Simpson racing harness with Cobra branding to keep you firmly in place. If you're the driver, you'll be gripping a Sparco flat-bottomed steering wheel and shifting gears via a black and red Cobra-motif gear knob. Ahead of you lies a set of Pro Comp Ultra-Lite gauges from Auto Meter, indicating revs and speed. The center console hosts five more gauges that tell you the fuel level, coolant temperature, oil temperature, oil pressure, and battery voltage. If you're the passenger, there isn't much to do apart from sit down, hold on, and be quiet.
This 1965 Factory Five Ford Cobra Replica enjoys a massive 408ci Kicker V8 under its hood that sends power to the rear wheels via a manual transmission. There's no traction control or driver aids of any sort here, so you'd better have proper control over your right foot. This isn't a car for lead-footed, ham-fisted drivers. Treat it with respect, and it will reward you with the time of your life. Braking is provided by a set of discs on all wheels, with slotted and drilled rotors, for optimal performance even under extended periods of hard driving. Finally, you'll enjoy the V8's beautiful soundtrack via the set of dual side exit exhaust pipes.

When the 1965 Chevrolet Impala Coupe was first introduced, their commercials referred to it as a completely new look that time can not wash away. Sure enough, even after a number of decades, the Chevrolet Impala remains a car that is accepted to be beautiful from every angle. Another interesting fact about the 1965 model year is that they improved the Jet Smooth Ride with a new chassis and suspension design and made it standard equipment in every model. To this day, its ability to make you feel like you are hovering above potholes is said to surpass the comfort of contemporary city cars. This 1965 Chevrolet Impala Coupe, with a recently installed engine, bears only 1,000 miles on the clock.
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.
