The British and Americans rarely work hand in hand when it comes to cars but turn back the clock a good 50 years ago, and the marriage between AC cars and Carroll Shelby brought life to one of the prettiest and meanest cars around. With original examples fetching eye-watering figures at auction, settling on a replica is the way to go. If you're looking to get a replica done right, it's hard to look past this 1966 Factory 5 Shelby Cobra. With a reported 15,000 miles on the clock, this classic American muscle sports some tricks up its sleeves and is a close representation of an American legend.
Exterior and Interior
A quick look at this 1966 Factory 5 Shelby Cobra and all those iconic lines are present. The stance and look of the car closely represent the original. What makes the iconic design stand out further is the unique LeMans sunset pearl paint with white Cobra stripes on this car. In terms of shoes, this classic American sits on a set of chrome wheels with Cobra center caps. Steeping into the black interior of this 1966 Factory 5 Shelby Cobra and you get the feeling you are in a race car; there isn't any unnecessary interior trim to distract you from the road but gauges to monitor your performance and an "AC" badged steering wheel to hold onto as you experience the performance this car has to offer. The current owner reports a radio and sound system for your tunes to match your driving style.
Engine
Powertrain preference changed depending on what model year you had, the smallest being 6-cylinder motors fitted by AC and exported to Shelby and the largest being a fire-breathing 427ci V8. Pop the hood of this 1966 Factory 5 Shelby Cobra, and you will find a 302ci V8 Ford crate motor with some upgrades to make it spicier. The reported upgrades include GT40 aluminum heads, F303 camshaft, Trick Flow street intake, and 24 LB injectors. The car is reportedly upgraded with Flaming River steering and Factory Five suspensions to handle the upgraded power. Power is sent to the car's rear wheels through a reported T5 BorgWarner 5-speed manual transmission.
Inspection
This 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica by Factory Five Racing brings the classic Cobra formula together with a performance-focused modern build. Constructed around a Factory Five Racing Mark III Roadster body, it is finished in Charcoal Gray Metallic with Silver racing stripes over a Black interior. Its specification centers around a 363ci Stroker V8 built by Smeding, a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission, side-pipe exhaust, 4-wheel disc brakes, aftermarket alloy wheels, and a number of driver-focused upgrades. The result is a lightweight, open-top roadster with the raw V8 character and unmistakable proportions enthusiasts expect from a Cobra-style build.
