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.

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.
It's been over four decades since the Shelby Cobra sprang to life, and it still manages to elicit gasps and admiration from onlookers. But, as finding an original example is a dream of many, getting your hands on a Cobra replica done right is the best way to experience all that open-top charm and fiery performance.

In 1953, Chevrolet introduced a car that would shake up the American sports car market. Yes, the Corvette was born that year. With breathtaking styling by Harley Earl, this iconic sports car initially came with a six-cylinder engine that was definitely unsuitable for such an amazing piece of automotive art and mechanical excellence. So, Chevy rectified the mistake by 1955 with the introduction of the Small-Block V8. Initially displacing 265ci, it grew to a 327ci unit by 1962. That’s what we have in this 1957 Chevrolet Corvette, with its 327ci V8 that packs dual quad carburetors and a reported output of 400 horseower. This Washington-based car also comes with its original interior, as well as original Corvette wheels.
