With its bright blue paint job punctuated by twin over the top racing stripes in white, this 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica Backdraft Roadster is definitely a head turner. And you know what? It’s actually more practical than an original Cobra, because it has a full canvas convertible top too! Yes, the black soft top can easily be erected, allowing you to drive the car even if the weather isn’t perfect – of course, you’ve got to be extra careful because there’s no traction control or other electronics to save you if you get a bit lead-footed. The car comes with a lovely set of silver knock-off style wheels too, for the ultimate period stance. The interior of this 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica Backdraft Roadster seats two occupants on black leather-upholstered low-back seats with racing harnesses. The driver gets a full suite of gauges, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, three pedals and a stubby gear shifter for the car’s manual gearbox. You’ll also find some switches for auxiliary functions. That’s it. Nothing else to spoil the joy of pure, unadulterated driving.
Power comes from a Prestige Motorsports-built 347ci V8 that has been dyno-tested at approximately 433 horsepower. The engine is paired with a manual transmission and sends power to the rear wheels, delivering strong acceleration and an engaging driving experience. The lightweight roadster chassis combined with modern performance components helps provide responsive handling and impressive power-to-weight performance. Additional features include power brakes and drivetrain components derived from BMW engineering, a hallmark of many Backdraft Racing builds designed to enhance reliability and performance.

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.
Automotive marriages are often a lovely thing to see, and looking back at history, there was no better combination than the man, Carroll Shelby, partnering up with AC cars to bring to life the legendary Shelby Cobra.

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.
The first ever production car from iconic German automaker Porsche was the 356. It was made between 1948 and 1965, and was the brainchild of Ferry Porsche, son of Ferdinand Porsche. Over 76,000 were made, and today, it’s estimated that approximately half of that contingent survives. However, getting your hands on an original 356 is quite tough, not to mention expensive. These cars regularly move for six-figure sums of money. That’s why replicas are a great way to get in on the action if you really want a 356, but aren’t too fussed about originality. Here, we have a 1956 Porsche 356A Convertible Replica that’s reportedly built in 1969. The work was completed by Hicks VW Services, because the Porsche 356 and Volkswagen Beetle have some commonalities.
