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.
Exterior and Interior
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.
Engine
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.
This 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica by Backdraft Racing delivers the kind of raw, analog experience that made the original Cobra such an icon, while adding the more modern chassis engineering Backdraft is known for. Showing just 3,314 miles, this example is powered by a 427ci Ford Racing V8 paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. Finished in Gray Metallic with racing stripes over a black leather interior, it brings together classic Cobra proportions, a big-block-style powertrain, side-exit exhaust, knock-off-style wheels, and an unmistakably purposeful cockpit.
This 2010 Factory Five Shelby Cobra MkIV Replica Roadster is one of just 15 special 15th Anniversary Editions produced, giving it a much more exclusive identity than a typical Factory Five build. Finished in Yellow with Cardinal racing stripes over a Black interior, it combines classic Cobra-inspired proportions with a carefully curated anniversary specification and serious performance hardware. Highlights include a Ford Motorsport Boss 302ci crate V8, Holley HP multi-point electronic fuel injection, a 5-speed manual transmission, custom Moser 8.8-inch rear end, Koni double-adjustable coilovers, and engraved 15th Anniversary Halibrand-style knock-off wheels. Special badging, exclusive gauges, anniversary floor mats, and extensive polished and engine-turned detailing further distinguish this limited-production roadster.
This 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica by Factory Five Racing brings the classic Cobra formula together with a performance-focused modern build. Constructed around a Factory Five Racing Mark III Roadster body, it is finished in Charcoal Gray Metallic with Silver racing stripes over a Black interior.

The result is a lightweight, open-top roadster with the raw V8 character and unmistakable proportions enthusiasts expect from a Cobra-style build.
