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.
What did the fastest accelerating road car for over 20 years since 1965 have? The coolest ever side exhausts, and this replica has it to original specification. If that is not attention seeking enough, this 1965 Cobra replica is dressed in a bright red exterior with the iconic white stripes, a rare sight as most of these come in a blue hue. The shiny chrome alloy wheels are fitted with new BF Goodrich radial tires as reported by the current owner, which are equipped with some powerful ventilated disc brakes with 4-pot calipers to bring this beast to a halt. The body is made out of hand laid fiberglass panels with steel tube reinforcements in all openings. The muffler and tailpipes are custom made with stainless extensions. Inside the black cockpit, you have the classic wooden steering wheel, long gear stick and some quality Superformance carpets. The speedometer has been newly reinstalled, along with the starter as reported by the current owner. It’s not the most spacious cabin, but with a 427ci V8 engine sitting in front, you will also be smiling behind the wheel.
A Ford Racing 427ci V8 engine that has been balanced and blueprinted breathes under the hood, being recently rebuilt it outputs a staggering amount of power that will propel you from 0 to 60 mph in around 4 seconds. Ensuring maximum power, the engine has been upgraded with Le Mans rods and Dual-Quad Holley 600CFM carburetors. This 1965 Shelby Cobra replica comes with rack and pinion steering along with independent suspension with unequal length A-arms with adjustable coils over telescopic shock absorbers in the front and with fabricated hub carriers and coil over shock absorbers in the rear. The clutch, master cylinder, and battery are all new as reported by the current owner. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a Tremec 5-Speed manual, in true muscle car fashion.

The Shelby Cobra is one of the most iconic sports cars ever built—and this 1965 Cobra Replica by AC Cobra offers that same legendary presence with a modern twist.

One of the rarest pure sports cars in the world is the AC Cobra, also known as the Shelby Cobra. It's the result of a collaboration between Carroll Shelby and British sports car maker AC Cars, and saw a brutish American V8 crammed into the engine bay of a pert British roadster. The result was one of the most capable sports cars of the time, a true driver’s challenger. Less than 1,000 official Cobras were made, which means that getting your hands on one is a high six figure investment – if you can find someone willing to sell, that is. Thankfully, we’ve got this 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica by Backdraft Racing for sale for much less. With a Ford Racing engine under the hood and plenty of original-inspired bits, this car is as close as you can get.

The original Shelby Cobra, actually called the AC Cobra, is a British-American collaboration that came together to give the automotive world something truly wondering. AC Cars (Britain) and Carroll Shelby (American) are the two main parties in this enthralling story that would see an American V8 stuffed into a diminutive British roadster, creating something that scared nearly everyone who dared drive it as hard as possible. Less than a thousand original Cobras were made, which means that the replica market is booming. After all, the beauty of a replica is that you can customize it accordingly. Enter this 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica, that’s reportedly a race car style build of a Gen 1 Cobra. And now, this 10,000-mile beast can be yours!
