With less than one thousand official Cobras made, getting your hands on this epic Carroll Shelby-created beast is much harder than you’d think. Official Cobras were made between 1962 and 1967, and today, it’s not uncommon to see pristine examples commanding seven-figure prices. No such drama with replicas, though, which is why you’re getting an absolute steal if you pick this 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica by Factory Five Racing as your next ride. Built from a kit assembled in 1997, it’s a fine way to experience the big engine in a small car phenomenon that Shelby envisioned way back in the early 1960s. Plus, this Washington-residing machine has only 11,580 miles on it, so it’s basically near-new.
The iconic design of the Cobra takes the British roadsters from AC Cars (the British part of the equation) and melds them with American V8s (the American part). This 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica showcases those compact yet purposeful lines with a red paint job punctuated by dual white racing stripes. The car also gets a set of yellow fog lamps to augment its regular headlamps, giving it something of a road rally special vibe. The silver alloy wheels with suitably profiled tires further add to this persona, as does the car’s black convertible soft top, side exhaust pipes, and surprisingly spacious trunk. It’s more of a long-distance driving machine than a frenetic track tycoon. The interior of this 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica seats two in a passenger cabin that’s quite spartan but comfortable. You’ve got a complete set of gauges and switches and a nice center console with a radio cassette head unit, as well as a control panel for the ventilation system. We’re not sure about air conditioning, though.
A 347ci V8 powers this 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica. It’s paired with a 5-speed Borg Warner manual transmission and a Ford 9-inch rear end. We also see that the car has got MSD Digital ignition and an Edelbrock air cleaner atop twin carburetors. All that makes for a vehicle that’s spicy to drive when pressed, but can also do the urban traffic dance without much complaint when needed – because sometimes, to get to the roads of driving nirvana, you’ve got to get through gridlock first.
