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. If you’re interested in netting this snake, call or DM us right now.
Exterior and Interior
Wearing a red paint job with twin white racing stripes, this 1966 Shelby Cobra Replica is definitely an attention grabber. Low to the ground, squat, and distinctively hot-rod like, the car was outrageous even back in the day. This replica comes with everything you’d need to drive it on the roads, including head and taillamps, turn signals, mirrors and windshield wipers. But its dual side exhausts emanate a menacing grumble that turns into a roar as that massive V8 wakes up and starts revving. The interior of this 1966 Shelby Cobra Replica comes with two low-back black leather seats, a full gauge pack, air conditioning and a Kenwood radio with CD player. It’s definitely more comfortable and livable than an original Cobra ever could be!
Engine
Power is supplied by a carbureted Ford V8 paired with an automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. The engine bay shows a traditional single 4-barrel carburetor setup with Cobra-style aluminum valve covers and aftermarket ignition components, consistent with performance-focused replica builds. While the car carries 428 badging, the exact engine specification should be verified by prospective buyers through documentation or casting numbers. Side-exit exhaust completes the mechanical package, delivering the aggressive exhaust note expected from a Cobra-inspired roadster.
Inspection
Inspired by one of the most successful GT race cars of the 1960s, this 1965 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe Replica by Factory Five Racing faithfully captures the unmistakable styling and exhilarating performance of the legendary original. Showing approximately 8,404 miles, this meticulously assembled replica is powered by a professionally built 347ci Ford Stroker V8 paired with a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission, delivering an authentic, driver-focused experience. Finished in vibrant red with bold white racing stripes over a black interior, this Daytona Coupe combines iconic looks with modern engineering, making it equally suited for spirited driving, weekend shows, or a prized collection.
