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. The Cobra uses Ford Racing disc brakes all around, a Ford Racing rack and pinion with custom valves and AN braided lines, a single chrome driver roll bar, and a Power Master gear drive starter.

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.
