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.
Staying faithful to the original AC Cobra 427 design, the Factory Five Racing team has done an incredible job with this replica 1965 Shelby Cobra MKIII. The Cobra is finished in black with Charcoal racing stripes running the full length. The exterior features an authentic chrome-on-brass windscreen, vintage rear and side view mirrors, vintage-style headlight assembly, red dual tail/brake lights, winged amber turn signals, dual aluminum side louvers, crafted steel side pipes with integral mufflers, and original front and rear quick-jack bumpers with fasteners. It sits on a set of Team III Halibrand replica wheels in silver.The interior features a full black leather appointment with original British-style bucket seats in black with tubular steel frames. Other noticeable aspects include a padded dash cover, aluminum dash, toggles and indicator lights, complete carpet set, all authentic trims and gauges, a 4-point Simpson racing H-harness for the driver and passenger, and a vintage-style Mota Lita steering wheel.
This 1965 Shelby Cobra MKIII replica is not just about the authentic looks, it is host to the custom built Smeding Performance 427 Windsor engine coupled with a Tremec TKO 600 five-speed manual transmission. Power is rated at 505hp which is all sent to the rear wheels.

This 1980 Auburn 874 Dual Cowl Phaeton is one of the extremely rare continuation cars built by Glenn Pray and the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Company in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Pray continued the Auburn legacy by hand-building a very limited number of high-quality replicas, and this example is reportedly one of only 18 ever produced. Unlike most kit-style recreations, the Pray-built 874s were factory-assembled, professionally engineered, and authenticated directly by ACD. This particular vehicle carries a remarkable provenance. It was owned for nearly three decades by Bob Uecker, the legendary World Series champion, comedian, actor, and iconic Milwaukee Brewers radio broadcaster who was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame as the Ford C. Frick Award recipient in 2003. Prior to Uecker’s ownership, the car resided in the renowned Rank family collection and was even used in the 1982 Brewers Post-World-Series Parade, carrying manager Harvey Kuenn and his wife Audrey through Milwaukee to County Stadium. Garaged and sparingly driven since 1997, the car shows 4,325 miles, with an estimated actual mileage of roughly 5,000. In April 2025, it underwent a comprehensive mechanical inspection and servicing by Sports and Classics Service in Delafield, Wisconsin, ensuring that it remains a running and functioning example of one of the rarest Auburn continuations ever built.
