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.
Exterior and Interior
This 1965 Shelby Cobra by Factory Five Racing build was completed in 2013, and introduces itself with a yellow and black two-tone paint job. The car comes with the iconic dual roll bars, but there’s an added surprise in the form of a removable soft top with top and side curtains by DTS. This means that you can actually drive this car in less than perfect weather, if you’re careful. The frame has been powder coated too, for longevity. The custom interior of this 1965 Shelby Cobra by Factory Five Racing remains largely true to original, with two heated seats, a steering wheel, and a dashboard with a host of gauges. But, there’s also a center console with a JVC touchscreen radio that includes navigation, and even some controls for the ventilation system. The vents for this are in the foot wells. Looking further, we find cup holders within the bespoke console, as well as courtesy lights plus 12-volt power sockets in the footwells. Then, we’re told that the wheel wells have been undercoated for sound deadening, and there’s dynamat installed under the carpets for the same purpose.
Engine
Powering this 1965 Shelby Cobra by Factory Five Racing is a 351ci V8 that’s been blocked and stroked to 408 with Gordon Levy roller lifters. The dyno test for this car reportedly shows 400 horsepower at the rear wheels. Power is sent to them via a 5-speed Tremec manual gearbox. There’s Inglese fuel injection, Wilwood disc brakes and IRS rear suspension too. This is a Cobra that’s built to race, but can also provide you with a comfortable long-distance cruising experience.
