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.
This 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica can be considered to be good for your health. It’s a machine that will re-energize your mind, body, and soul. Built in tribute to one of the greatest American-British automotive collaborations, this Champagne-colored beauty is actually a brute under the skin. It’s got a 427ci V8 sending generous servings of power and torque to the rear wheels. Inside, you’ll enjoy a nice Saddle Brown passenger cabin with nothing but the bare essentials for a good time – digital detox galore! There’s even a burgundy soft top to keep you protected from the weather. With just 300 miles reported on the clock and two keys included with the sale, this vehicle currently resides in St. Cloud, Florida.
Want a Shelby Cobra in your life but can’t stretch to the six-figure sums that originals tend to change hands for?

The original AC Cobra, or Shelby Cobra as it’s popularly known, is a relatively rare bird in the automotive scene. Under 1,000 examples were made between 1962 and 1967, making it rarer than many modern supercars and hypercars! The Cobra was the result of an unholy union between a compact British Roadster and a brutish American V8, and the only man who dared to try such an union was the legendary Carroll Shelby. Naturally, the Cobra soon separated the boys from the men, so to speak. Taming a Cobra was one of those things that marked you out as a real racing driver. Naturally, with such low production, original Cobras are scarce on the market, and when they do pop up, move for high six, or even seven figure sums! No worries, though, because if you don’t mind a replica, outfits such as Factory Five are ready to assist. One of their creations is up for sale today, a 1967 Shelby Cobra Replica from Germantown, Maryland. This Cobra is a replica of a Mark 4 Roadster example, and packs a 351ci Windsor under the hood. So if you want something thrilling to drive every now and then, this is the definitive car for those all-analog, raw, visceral driving thrills that no modern machine can even come close to delivering.

This 1980 Auburn 874 Dual Cowl Phaeton is one of the extremely rare continuation cars built by Glenn Pray and the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Company in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Pray continued the Auburn legacy by hand-building a very limited number of high-quality replicas, and this example is reportedly one of only 18 ever produced. Unlike most kit-style recreations, the Pray-built 874s were factory-assembled, professionally engineered, and authenticated directly by ACD. This particular vehicle carries a remarkable provenance. It was owned for nearly three decades by Bob Uecker, the legendary World Series champion, comedian, actor, and iconic Milwaukee Brewers radio broadcaster who was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame as the Ford C. Frick Award recipient in 2003. Prior to Uecker’s ownership, the car resided in the renowned Rank family collection and was even used in the 1982 Brewers Post-World-Series Parade, carrying manager Harvey Kuenn and his wife Audrey through Milwaukee to County Stadium. Garaged and sparingly driven since 1997, the car shows 4,325 miles, with an estimated actual mileage of roughly 5,000. In April 2025, it underwent a comprehensive mechanical inspection and servicing by Sports and Classics Service in Delafield, Wisconsin, ensuring that it remains a running and functioning example of one of the rarest Auburn continuations ever built.
