The iconic Shelby Cobra was made to stand out. This 1965 Shelby Cobra 5.0 Coyote 6 Speed with its black exterior is no different. The vehicle sports a carbon flash paint with all the chrome trim blacked out. There is a yellow racing stripe painted-on for some color amongst the darkness. The owner reports that the car has a resilient ceramic coating on it to protect the paint. The vehicle sits on a set of black ZR wheels wrapped around a set of Nitto 555 tires. LED lights ensure better visibility than the original could. The interior is also finished off in black and has a full-on carbon fiber treatment, with the dashboard and door panels done in carbon fiber. The custom leather seats with yellow diamond stitching are made to match the yellow stripe on the car's exterior.
The aggressive looks of this 1965 Shelby Cobra 5.0 Coyote 6 Speed are matched with a 5.0L V8 2015 Coyote engine that's capable of pushing out an impressive 460hp. A few upgrades have been done to the engine, which comes in the form of a Cobra Jet intake with carbon fiber covers, dual 65mm throttle body, custom GP headers, and a custom 20-gallon fuel tank. Power is sent to the car's rear wheels through an Mt-82 6-speed manual transmission, custom driveshaft, and a 3.55 rear end. Cooling the car down is a custom made Fluidyne radiator. Handling is made better with adjustable shocks in place, and braking made better with a complete Wilwood braking system.

The Shelby Cobra is a rare example of a car that’s highly desirable on both sides of the Atlantic. It’s the result of the prolific Carroll Shelby deciding to take a compact British roadster from AC Cars and stuff an American V8 into its engine bay. The result is a fantastically fearsome beast that’s a true driver’s car, and a race track demon. All in all, less than a thousand official Cobras were made between 1962 and 1967. Of course, at the time, scant thought was paid towards preservation of the model for future generations. This means that high six figure price tags are normal for average-condition cars, with mint examples commanding seven figures. However, plenty of replicas do exist for those who want to get their Cobra fix at a far more reasonable price. Today’s 2016 Shelby Cobra Replica is a prime example, and it’s up for sale in California with just 3,196 miles on the clock.
It's been over four decades since the Shelby Cobra sprang to life, and it still manages to elicit gasps and admiration from onlookers.
