The Shelby Cobra, or AC Cobra was the result of a British-American collaboration. AC Cars of Britain was known for making compact British roadsters. They caught the attention of iconic American racer and tuner Carroll Shelby, who wondered the all-important question of what would happen if you stuck a V8 inside a compact body. The result was the AC Cobra or Shelby Cobra, a true driver’s car that had to be respected if you wanted to extract maximum performance from it. Furthermore, less than 1,000 official Cobras were made between 1962 and 1967, making the car rarer than many exotics produced since then. However, the burgeoning Cobra replica market means that you don’t need to cough up the typical seven-figure price tag that an original Cobra in mint condition may command. Instead, you can get something, like this 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica for much less. The current owner reports that documentation is included with the sale of this Colorado-based car. So, what are you waiting for? Can you rise to the challenge and tame a Cobra? The car will teach you a lot about performance driving too – just remember to be gentle at first.

The Porsche 356 was the first car that the German automaker Porsche produced. Closely related to the Volkswagen Beetle, the 356 was the work of Ferdinand “Ferry” Porsche, son of Ferdinand Porsche, the man who created the Beetle. Just like the Beetle, the Porsche 356 carries its engine in the tail, an air-cooled flat-four that powers the rear wheels. However, while the Beetle is meant for mass transportation, the Porsche 356 is a lightweight, nimble and speedy sports car. The car was made in three forms: a fixed-head coupe, a canvas-roofed convertible, and a Speedster, which was a convertible, but with a lower profile made possible by a low-raked windshield. Over 76,000 were made, and many were raced, but few owners realized the historic value of the 356 – after all, there’s no such thing as a magical crystal ball, is there? Today, finding an original 356 is a difficult (and costly) endeavor, but thankfully, replicas exist. This 1979 Porsche 356 Speedster is a replica that’s been made by Intermeccanica and comes to you from Georgia with under 44,000 miles on the clock.
