Back in the swinging '60s, a bold marriage between a brawny American engine and a lithe British chassis set the stage for a performance car revolution. These amalgams not only clinched victories in international races but also ascended to legendary status, evolving into sought-after collector's items, some worth more than one million dollars! Now, E.R.A. unveils an economical alternative that seamlessly channels the classic style and performance of that era. This 1965 Shelby Cobra ERA Conversion Kit offer you the chance to revel in Carrol Shelby's brilliant craftsmanship without breaking your bank. With a mere 2,220 miles on the odometer, this masterpiece is up for grabs in sunny California.
This example of the 1965 Shelby Cobra ERA Conversion Kit dons a striking blue coat—the very essence of the original Cobra iconography. Freshly painted in 2022, it boasts white racing stripes nodding to its storied racing lineage. Adorning the car's flank are new mufflers reminding of poised torpedoes. At ground level, recently fitted BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires provide traction, while new brakes deliver the essential stopping prowess. Every gleaming chrome accent you see that is beautifully placed around the car is new brightwork. These include the front and rear bumpers, the window frame, and the roll bar that is exposed behind the seats. Cobra badging is presented on the hood and rear of the car, while the Ford emblem graces the front fenders. Wrapped in black leather, the two seats inside the cockpit provide comfortable seating. A wooden steering wheel adds a classic touch, while a minimalist dash hosts two gauges in front of the wheel. Centered on the dash, five gauges accompanied by toggle switches recall a bygone era of automotive craftsmanship.
Nestled within the hood of this 1965 Shelby Cobra ERA Conversion Kit is a naturally aspirated 289 cu in V8 engine delivering a robust 271 horsepower and an impressive 311 lb-ft of torque. The harmonious marriage of power and efficiency is enhanced by an automatic transmission. Adding to its arsenal of performance enhancements, the engine is armed with a new carburetor, as reported by the current owner.
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.

The 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible is a timeless classic that will forever dazzle this world with its legendary design and rich history. The success of this first generation Mustang is also the reason why the Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac Firebird and Dodge Challenger were brought to life; these were truly the golden days of the Ford Mustang, asserting itself as the main player in the new “pony” car market. With only a total of 72,119 convertible units produced in 1966, it makes this model quite rare compared to the coupe and fastback models. The iconic pony's interior makes this particular example even more rare, with embossed running horses on the seatbacks, a five-gauge instrument cluster, and deluxe door panels with wood-grain accents. Clocking a total of just 33,000 miles on the odometer, this 1966 Ford Mustang is the perfect machine to cruise around with the convertible top down.
Ford’s epic Mustang was one of the headline cars of the Sixties. Debuting in 1964, it created the pony car segment and can be considered responsible for many automotive icons that followed in its wake. That’s why owning a first generation Mustang is a bucket list item for countless American enthusiasts. If you’re one of those, we’ve got a 1972 Ford Mustang up for sale right now. Packing a relatively light 61,000 miles on the odometer, this car is said to have been fully restored. Hence, it’s basically a turn-key classic that you can enjoy from the very start of your ownership journey.
The first Generation Chevrolet Camaro was nothing short of iconic. Fast-forward to today, and you have multiple iterations of an iconic muscle car. Some choose a full-on custom build to stand out, while others prefer the old-fashioned way. Present today is the latter, which takes the form of this lovely 1969 Chevrolet Camaro. This factory-clean example has been lovingly used and preserved. The current owner reports that the car comes with receipts from 1984 detailing its journey.
