One of the most sought after cars, the Shelby Cobra or AC Cobra is the result of a British and American collaboration. AC Cars of Bristol, UK, provided their compact roadster body style while Carroll Shelby who needs no introduction at all. Shelby stuffed a massive V8 into the diminutive British roadster body and a legend was born. Today, we’ve got a 1965 Shelby Cobra from Waldwick, New Jersey for sale. The car has got some neat features that make it even sweeter to drive, and is the perfect machine for a keen driver. Raw, visceral, and lacking digital distractions, it’s the perfect antidote to those who are forced to drive EVs or hybrids during the week, but seek a weekend playtoy that’s the polar opposite.
The aggressive looks of this 1965 Shelby Cobra highlight the fact that it’s actually quite a small car. The compact size is most apparent when you place it on the road and note that a subcompact crossover seems to tower over it, while even the smallest compact hatchback is notably longer and wider. This characteristic, paired with the minimalistic and open cabin allows you to really thread the car with precision along narrow roads, and affords great overall visibility. This particular example also enjoys features such as 18-inch knock-off wheels, and has received a paint protection film for the rear fender and doors. The interior of this 1965 Shelby Cobra comes with two heated seats that include Sabelt harnesses to hold you in securely. There’s a fire extinguisher which is useful to have in a performance car. You’ve also got a short gear lever with a custom blue gear knob, upgraded Auto Meter gauges and driver plus passenger Raydot rear view mirrors. There’s even a small trunk which can accept a pair of soft bags.
Powering this 1965 Shelby Cobra is the iconic 427ci V8 that’s almost ludicrously large in displacement for a car this small. The engine features ceramic coated headers and is fed by an aluminum gas tank with external pump. Drive is channeled to the rear axle through a Tremec TK 0600 5-speed manual transmission. Disc brakes all round provide ample stopping power.

A legend whichever way you look at it, the AC Cobra or Shelby Cobra is a car that was the result of Carroll Shelby’s engineering genius and AC Cars of Britain’s experience with diminutive open-topped sports cars. Stuffing an American V8 into a compact British roadster body created this mad machine, of which less than 1,000 original examples were made between 1962 and 1967. Today, getting your hands on an original Cobra is a difficult and rather expensive task. It’s not uncommon to find mint examples of the original being sold for high six, or even seven figure prices. Thankfully, outfits such as Factory Five Racing exist, and build fine replicas. They even endow them with some modern touches and creature comforts, such as what this 1965 Shelby Cobra by Factory Five Racing comes with. Available in Harbor Springs, Michigan, this car has just 3,000 miles to its name. Let us tell you all about it.
