The exterior of this 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica is finished in black with dual charcoal ghost stripes, giving the car an understated but menacing appearance that perfectly suits its muscular proportions. The body was reportedly prepared and finished by Whitby Motorcars, a respected name among Cobra replica enthusiasts, while the current owner reports that the Factory Five frame, body, and internal panels remain in place. Additional craftsmanship details include chem-filmed and silver anodized sheet metal panels, hidden trunk hinges, rolled cockpit edges, and polished aluminum trim rings for the roll bar and harnesses. Team III Halibrand-style wheels wrapped in Goodyear Eagle GT II tires complete the vintage racing aesthetic, while details such as the single chrome roll bar, Le Mans-style fuel cap, power windshield wipers, vintage mirrors, and ceramic-coated side pipes give the car an unmistakably authentic Cobra-inspired presence. The interior of this 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica blends vintage race car simplicity with high-quality craftsmanship and purposeful upgrades. Black leather upholstery covers the adjustable vintage-style seats, while a leather-wrapped dashboard and fully carpeted cockpit elevate the cabin beyond the stripped-down nature of many Cobra builds. A Mota-Lita steering wheel sits ahead of Auto Meter replica gauges displaying mechanical oil pressure, oil temperature, and water temperature readings, reinforcing the car’s driver-focused layout. Four-way Simpson harnesses mounted directly to the frame add to the competition-inspired environment, while thoughtful details such as leather rear fender guards, a replica reverse-lockout shifter, Halon fire extinguishers, and a master battery cut-off switch demonstrate the seriousness of the build. Even the trunk has been fully carpeted, further showcasing the level of finish throughout this Cobra replica.
Powering this 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica is a custom-built Smeding Performance 7.0L naturally aspirated 427 Windsor V8 engineered to deliver immense power and relentless torque in a featherweight chassis. Built around a Dart 4-bolt main block with forged internals, Edelbrock RPM heads and intake, and a Quick Fuel 750 CFM mechanical double pumper carburetor, this V8 represents a serious high-performance build designed for both strength and responsiveness. Supporting hardware includes a Pertronix Flame-Thrower ignition system, Canton baffled oil pan, Power Master starter and race alternator, AFCO aluminum radiator with electric fan, and Holley Red electric fuel pump with braided AN lines. Power is routed through a Tremec TKO 600 5-speed manual transmission, QuickTime bellhousing, Ford Racing Cobra clutch assembly, and a Ford Racing 8.8 Traction-Lok differential with Yukon axles and 3.90 gears. Combined with Koni adjustable coilovers, urethane suspension bushings, rack-and-pinion steering, and Ford Racing four-wheel disc brakes, this Cobra replica offers an intensely visceral driving experience with explosive acceleration, razor-sharp response, and the unmistakable soundtrack that made the Cobra an automotive icon.

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.
