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.

Want a Shelby Cobra in your life but can’t stretch to the six-figure sums that originals tend to change hands for? No worries, consider a replica like this sub 33,000-mile 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica Backdraft Roadster. With its catchy blue and white striped paint job, punchy 347ci V8 under the hood and overall sense of raciness, this car currently resides in Murphy, North Carolina.

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.
