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 AC Cobra, also known as the Shelby Cobra is one of those madcap machines that only a person like Carroll Shelby could conceive of. Shelby wondered what would happen if he took a diminutive British roadster like an AC Ace, and stuffed an American V8 into its engine compartment. Surprisingly AC Cars was game, and the Cobra was the result. Produced between 1962 and 1967, less than 1,000 were made – naturally, it was a fearsome beast to drive, and really challenged you to respect it. Today, finding an original Cobra is hard, not to mention very expensive. Cars change hands for six or even seven-figure numbers! Thankfully, there are some fine replicas available at much less outlay. In fact, we’ve got one here right now – check out this 1966 Shelby Cobra Replica from Troy, Michigan! It's got a massive V8 under the hood, all those Cobra styling cues and touches, and is even comes with an automatic transmission to make it easier to drive – something that the original never offered.

Read on to find out what else this classic homage offers.
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.
