The Shelby Cobra, or AC Cobra, stands as a testament to the enduring popularity of its fearsome British-American collaboration. Crafted by AC Cars UK and the iconic Carroll Shelby, this remarkable sports car combined the power of an American V8 engine with the agility of a compact British body, resulting in a ferocious machine with incredible racing capabilities. While less than a thousand original Cobras were produced, the popularity of this iconic car has led to the proliferation of replicas, making it challenging to find an exceptional one.

The exterior of this 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica by Backdraft Racing exudes a captivating appeal, featuring a striking Black Magic paint with eye-catching bright green stripes running across the top. The LED headlamps add to its menacing look, with a darkened upper section giving it a half-eyed, sinister gaze at the front. Clear turn signals and Raydot mirrors complete the sleek exterior design. The car's 18-inch black alloy wheels and black side pipes add to its aggressive and powerful stance. Inside, the cabin is designed for a purposeful driving experience. The two low-backed seats face a carbon-fiber dash, while the driver enjoys a comprehensive set of Auto Meter Auto GT gauges. The gear lever and seats are adorned with bright green accents that beautifully complement the exterior stripes. Cam-style seat belts securely hold occupants in place, while the driver maintains control with a Sabelt suede steering wheel. In true driver-focused fashion, this Cobra Replica does away with unnecessary modern amenities like climate control, infotainment systems, and surround sound.

The fearsome AC Cobra is a car that every petrolhead dreams about owning or at least driving. The brainchild of the prolific Carroll Shelby, it saw the marriage of a pert British roadster with a brutish American V8.

However, thanks to firms such as Factory Five Racing, there are plenty of excellent replicas around that not only emulate but improve upon the original's already eye-widening performance.

When the 1965 Chevrolet Impala Coupe was first introduced, their commercials referred to it as a completely new look that time can not wash away. Sure enough, even after a number of decades, the Chevrolet Impala remains a car that is accepted to be beautiful from every angle. Another interesting fact about the 1965 model year is that they improved the Jet Smooth Ride with a new chassis and suspension design and made it standard equipment in every model. To this day, its ability to make you feel like you are hovering above potholes is said to surpass the comfort of contemporary city cars. This 1965 Chevrolet Impala Coupe, with a recently installed engine, bears only 1,000 miles on the clock.
There are few cars that can embed themselves into popular culture the way the achingly beautiful third-generation Chevrolet Impala has. The model featured many design flourishes that epitomized the ’50s and ‘60s, including the car’s long and flowing lines, low roof, lashing of chrome, wrap-around windshield, and distinctive c-pillar design. The car we offer for sale here takes the traditional Impala recipe and adds so much more. Under the hood, you’ll find a modern GM LS V8 engine, which just so happens to have a supercharger strapped to it for good measure. This 1962 Chevrolet Impala SS restomod has undergone an extensive restoration and features a host of new parts and upgraded tech. It could be yours, with just 2,500 miles recorded since the restoration was completed.
The 1957 Ford Thunderbird was an icon the moment it left its factory floors; it had iconic '50s styling that was jaw-dropping, the luxury that most '50s American motors are renowned for, and performance that was supposed to take on the first-generation Chevrolet Corvette. Present today is not just any first-generation Ford Thunderbird, but this sought-after 1957 Ford Thunderbird E-Code. Built to turn heads as you drive by, this 50s icon can be your weekend cruiser that's best enjoyed with its top-down and picturesque back road.
