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. Present today is precisely that: a replica done right, and it takes shape with this 1965 Factory Five Racing Shelby Cobra.

Chevy’s answer to Ford’s pony car challenge, the Camaro came in 1967 and brought a sister along for the ride, in the shape of the Pontiac Firebird. This was a smart move by General Motors as it allowed them to sell two suitably varied models in the same segment but with much of the same underpinnings, engines and other components. The Firebird was axed in 2002 but the Camaro continued to be made until 2024. That makes it the second longest-running pony car in history. Today, we’ve got a nice first-generation 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS for sale in St. Cloud, Florida. This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 is a show-stopping example of American muscle restored to concours-level detail. Verified by its X66 code and built at the Norwood, Ohio plant, this real-deal Super Sport coupe combines factory originality with subtle performance enhancements that elevate both its drivability and collectability. With its matching-numbers big-block, correct Turbo 400 transmission, and period-authentic Holley 4346 carburetor, this Camaro is the perfect blend of raw 1960s muscle and expert craftsmanship.
Chevy’s second-generation Corvette was made from 1963 to 1967, but across that relatively short lifcycle, over 117,000 examples found homes. This highlights how popular the Corvette was back then, much like it is now. The second generation or C2 brought about many features that we know from later ‘Vettes, such as pop-up headlamps, the boat-tailed styling, and the exclusive use of V8s for the Corvette – the C1 did offer a six cylinder early in its lifecycle but that wasn’t deemed worthy for a top-tier sports car. Today, we’ve got a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe for sale from Shohola, Pennsylvania, and let us tell you it’s a catch. With a growling 327 under the hood, this is classic American car nirvana at its finest. Plus, given the great condition of the car, it’s a sure-fire appreciating asset if you continue to look after it. If you’re interested in getting your hands on this beauty, we’re waiting for your call or DM.
Chevy’s third-generation Corvette of 1968 to 1982 was the best-seller in the entire range, in terms of generational numbers. Thanks to its super-long production run, over 542,000 were made, despite it carrying on through the dreaded Malaise Era. During these dark times for automotive enthusiasts, Chevy worked hard to maintain the Corvette as one of the fastest American cars around – of course that was a subjective term, but impressive, nonetheless. Hence, a C3 Corvette is a robust way to enter the world of classic American cars. Want to know more? We’ve got a 1977 Chevrolet Corvette for sale from Littleton, Colorado right here. It packs a 350ci L48 under the hood, paired with an automatic transmission to make it more convenient for those who never bothered to learn stick shift.
