The words Shelby and Cobra in one sentence sparks excitement and awe in automotive circles around the world. Finding an original Shelby Cobra is tough, and when you do, they tend to be sold on the higher end of any auction sheet. This gives rise to replicas made of the car, but no one replicates the iconic Shelby Cobra better than the folks over at Factory Five. Regarded as the best-selling, best engineered, and best performing replicas, it's time you have a look at this 1965 Shelby Cobra 5.0 Coyote 6 Speed present here today. Located in South Carolina, the seller reports an extremely intensive build on this Cobra, with only the frame and body not being replaced.
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.

Original or not, does it really matter? This 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica, built by Superformance as a 2002 model replicates the same thrill and joy you get from the legendary 1965 Shelby Cobra. Developed by Carroll Shelby, a racing driver, who was surprised by the speed of the AC Ace during the Le Mans race in 1959. He retired from racing after a few years, wanting to build a race car of his own, and this is what he had in mind. A Ford Windsor 221 engine was mounted into an AC Ace chassis shipped from England, and within just eight hours, the legendary Cobra was brought to life. A.k.a ‘The Turd’ as nicknamed by Ken Miles, the Shelby Cobras have been brilliant machines that everyone must at least experience once in their life. This particular model we have today has undergone an engine rebuild on the 427ci V8 engine, clocking less than 5,000 miles as reported by the current owner.
Carroll Shelby’s rise to prominence began when he won the coveted international 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1959 while driving an Aston Martin. It was this exposure to sleek and fast European cars that pushed him to build the AC Cobra in 1962. The car absolutely dominated the then Corvette-dominated racetracks. It went on to win the World Manufacturers’ GT Championship beating the then longtime GT champions, Ferrari. The AC Cobra, more commonly known as the Shelby Cobra, was produced until 1967 with iterations as the Cobra, MKII, and the MKII. Up for the taking is a 1965 Shelby Cobra MKIII replica built by Factory Five Racing. The car features many modern upgrades and just 350 miles on the odometer.
The Shelby Cobra is the lovechild of a British and American marriage. It’s what happened when AC Cars UK and Carroll Shelby joined hands, to create a monstrous machine that would see a Ford V8 packed into a British roadster. While original Cobras are hard to come by (and typically cost in the seven-figure range), there are plenty of excellent replicas. One renowned firm is Factory Five, and this 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica Built By Factory Five is one of their fine specimens. The car has just 1,000 miles on the odometer, and is built to be as close to the original as possible.
