Original cars, designed by AC of the UK and enhanced by Shelby America, are so sought after today that their pricing is now in the stratosphere.

In addition to its stunning looks, capped off with a Steel Grey exterior, you’ll find some choice elements in play, too. Under the hood lies a 351ci V8 engine that has been breathed upon with parts from Edelbrock and Holley. You get independent coilover suspension and some nice wheels. Plus, an interior to die for. With a reported 3,000 miles on the clock, this Shelby Cobra is exceedingly tempting.

It’s painted Steel Grey with white racing stripes over the top. The car sits on 18-inch knock-off-style aluminum wheels. You’ll also notice Quick-Jack bumpers, a polished roll bar, and polished stainless steel side pipes. Inside, you’ll find bucket seats trimmed in red leather. The driver is offered control via a wood and polished aluminum steering wheel, a polished floor shifter, and aluminum pedals. You’ll find a bank of AutoMeter gauges on the dashboard to keep track of engine vital, too.

A legend whichever way you look at it, the AC Cobra or Shelby Cobra is a car that was the result of Carroll Shelby’s engineering genius and AC Cars of Britain’s experience with diminutive open-topped sports cars. Stuffing an American V8 into a compact British roadster body created this mad machine, of which less than 1,000 original examples were made between 1962 and 1967. Today, getting your hands on an original Cobra is a difficult and rather expensive task. It’s not uncommon to find mint examples of the original being sold for high six, or even seven figure prices. Thankfully, outfits such as Factory Five Racing exist, and build fine replicas. They even endow them with some modern touches and creature comforts, such as what this 1965 Shelby Cobra by Factory Five Racing comes with. Available in Harbor Springs, Michigan, this car has just 3,000 miles to its name. Let us tell you all about it.

Produced between 1959 and 1967, the Austin-Healey 3000, popularly called the Big Healey, is a British roadster that featured an uncharacteristically large engine. While your typical British roadster at the time packed a diminutive four-cylinder engine of 1.5-liters or less, the Big Healey stuffed a potent 2.9-liter six-cylinder under the hood. This made it quite thrilling to drive, and quite a few made it to the United States too. However, the numbers are still quite low, so finding one may not be as easy as you think. That’s why we’ve got a 1990 Austin-Healey 3000 Sebring Replica for sale today, from Williston, Vermont. Built upon a Mustang chassis, this car has got less than 20,000 miles on it and is a great way to experience British open-top roadster motoring with some modern convenience features.
