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.

The Shelby Cobra is a rare example of a car that’s highly desirable on both sides of the Atlantic. It’s the result of the prolific Carroll Shelby deciding to take a compact British roadster from AC Cars and stuff an American V8 into its engine bay. The result is a fantastically fearsome beast that’s a true driver’s car, and a race track demon. All in all, less than a thousand official Cobras were made between 1962 and 1967. Of course, at the time, scant thought was paid towards preservation of the model for future generations. This means that high six figure price tags are normal for average-condition cars, with mint examples commanding seven figures. However, plenty of replicas do exist for those who want to get their Cobra fix at a far more reasonable price. Today’s 2016 Shelby Cobra Replica is a prime example, and it’s up for sale in California with just 3,196 miles on the clock.
It's been over four decades since the Shelby Cobra sprang to life, and it still manages to elicit gasps and admiration from onlookers. But, as finding an original example is a dream of many, getting your hands on a Cobra replica done right is the best way to experience all that open-top charm and fiery performance. Present today is precisely that: a replica done right, and it takes shape with this 1965 Factory Five Racing Shelby Cobra.

However, Factory 5 are the folks who take that statement and show us remakes that are as great as the icons they are based on. With a built not bought mentality, its cars like this 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica By Factory Five Racing we have today that manage to capture and reinvigorate the spirit of the original for a new breed of collector.
As the predecessor of the 911, and the first production car by Porsche, there’s a lot of history behind the 356, and it’s no surprise that there are people around the world who continue to find ways to pay homage to what is an iconic piece of motoring history. Classic Motor Carriages’ 1987 Porsche 356 Speedster Replica is one of them. Built to maintain the original Porsche design on the road, this car retains the original vehicle’s appearance and features, with some tasteful enhancements. Still, it has a Porsche heart keeping it going, and with only over 11,100 miles on the clock, you know that this is a car that will keep on going.
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.
The first ever production car from iconic German automaker Porsche was the 356. It was made between 1948 and 1965, and was the brainchild of Ferry Porsche, son of Ferdinand Porsche. Over 76,000 were made, and today, it’s estimated that approximately half of that contingent survives. However, getting your hands on an original 356 is quite tough, not to mention expensive. These cars regularly move for six-figure sums of money. That’s why replicas are a great way to get in on the action if you really want a 356, but aren’t too fussed about originality. Here, we have a 1956 Porsche 356A Convertible Replica that’s reportedly built in 1969. The work was completed by Hicks VW Services, because the Porsche 356 and Volkswagen Beetle have some commonalities.
