The Shelby Cobra is one of those cars that just screams raw personality. It’s a beast in every sense of the word, with this simple yet fawned-over design the template for many replicas, fulfilling the unprecedented demand these cars have conjured. Our featured car is a replica of a 1967 Shelby Cobra. This 2010 AC Cobra replica was built by Shell Valley. And, like most replicas, the approach to personalization is off the charts. This car features a stroked 351ci V8 engine, with the total displacement now standing at 418ci, with an output reported at 500hp. The engine really is the star of this car, with less than 1,000 miles of running reported by the current owner since it was rebuilt. You also get a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission with a shortened 9-inch rear end with a 350.1 ratio. Then there’s an upgraded Ford Racing 4-wheel disc brake system, too, for added stopping power.
The original Shelby Cobra, actually called the AC Cobra, is a British-American collaboration that came together to give the automotive world something truly wondering. AC Cars (Britain) and Carroll Shelby (American) are the two main parties in this enthralling story that would see an American V8 stuffed into a diminutive British roadster, creating something that scared nearly everyone who dared drive it as hard as possible. Less than a thousand original Cobras were made, which means that the replica market is booming. After all, the beauty of a replica is that you can customize it accordingly. Enter this 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica, that’s reportedly a race car style build of a Gen 1 Cobra. And now, this 10,000-mile beast can be yours!

Arguably, the best and worst thing about the Shelby Cobra is that they just didn’t produce enough of them. Original cars, designed by AC of the UK and enhanced by Shelby America, are so sought after today that their pricing is now in the stratosphere. Thankfully, there are some dedicated replica manufacturers out there that will get you as close to the original at a fraction of the cost. In this case, say hello to the 1965 Shelby Cobra Backdraft Racing. Backdraft Racing is renowned for its Cobra reproductions, and this car is a beauty. In addition to its stunning looks, capped off with a Steel Grey exterior, you’ll find some choice elements in play, too. Under the hood lies a 351ci V8 engine that has been breathed upon with parts from Edelbrock and Holley. You get independent coilover suspension and some nice wheels. Plus, an interior to die for. With a reported 3,000 miles on the clock, this Shelby Cobra is exceedingly tempting.
The Plymouth Barracuda needs no introduction to fans of the muscle car genre. By 1970 the model was in its third generation and was now based on the E-Body. It may have shared its underpinnings with the Dodge Challenger, but the sheet metal was completely different. Our featured car has been treated to an end-to-end restoration, with the owner reporting a new paint job, new engine, and new transmission. The motor itself has been upgraded with a Blueprint 408ci stroker engine in place, and there’s a host of other tasty upgrades that separate this 1970 Plymouth Barracuda from the herd.
There are few cars that are as well known as the Pontiac GTO. The first GTO arguably created the muscle car genre, but this, the second generation, helped define the segment for years to come. The 1968 Pontiac GTO won MotorTrend’s Car of the Year award, and it’s not hard to see why. Here was a car that packed enormous power into a beautiful bodyshell, and with an affordable price tag. Our featured car mixes things up with a new riff on this classic. Instead of the old-school 6.6-liter V8, you’ll find a more modern 5.3-liter Chevy LS engine under the hood. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this 1968 Pontiac GTO restoration.
Based on the fourth-generation Dodge Dart, the Swinger was a novel concept. By its fourth generation, the Dodge Dart was considered a compact (or senior compact in marketing speak) car. So the Swinger was, in many ways, a mini-Muscle car, targeted at those who loved performance, but who were perhaps on a tighter budget than others. This resulted in a smaller car, with just as much power as many of its bigger brothers. The car we’re featuring here is powered by a 318ci V8 engine. The owner reports that this is one rare gem, with the car having an original mileage of 98,000 miles. It features a host of new parts, including a new interior.
