The Shelby Cobra is one of those cars that just screams raw personality. It’s a beast in every sense of the word, with this simple yet fawned-over design the template for many replicas, fulfilling the unprecedented demand these cars have conjured. Our featured car is a replica of a 1967 Shelby Cobra. This 2010 AC Cobra replica was built by Shell Valley. And, like most replicas, the approach to personalization is off the charts. This car features a stroked 351ci V8 engine, with the total displacement now standing at 418ci, with an output reported at 500hp. The engine really is the star of this car, with less than 1,000 miles of running reported by the current owner since it was rebuilt. You also get a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission with a shortened 9-inch rear end with a 350.1 ratio. Then there’s an upgraded Ford Racing 4-wheel disc brake system, too, for added stopping power.
Before we get on to the rest of the engine, let's marvel at the Shelby Cobra's design. The black and red exterior is breathtaking, as are the chrome side pipes. You’ll also notice some fetching chrome bumper over-riders, as well as upgraded round taillights.
Under the hood of this 1967 Shelby Cobra Convertible Replica lies a 351ci V8 engine that has had a tonne of work done to it. The main upgrade is the stroker kit, which brings it up to 418ci. That includes a new Eagle forged 4340 stroker crankshaft, Clevite 77 H-Series rod and main bearings, and new high-performance Sportsman Racing Series flat-top pistons with single valve relief. That’s not all. There are upgraded and hand-filed performance rings, a Cloyes 3-piece true double roller timing set, a performance camshaft with 16 high-rev lifters, and Dart Machinery aluminum performance cylinder heads with 62cc combustion chambers & 195cc intake runners. Then, there are also eight stainless steel 2.02 intake valves with eight stainless steel 1.60 exhaust valves and 16 high-performance valve springs and retainers to match the camshaft. The current owner reports all new RP head bolts, as well as a Melling high-volume oil pump & oil pickup. The engine is fueled via an Edelbrock 800CFM carburetor with an electric choke, while the current owner reports a new MSD distributor, coils & brackets.

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.
It's been over four decades since the Shelby Cobra sprang to life, and it still manages to elicit gasps and admiration from onlookers. But, as finding an original example is a dream of many, getting your hands on a Cobra replica done right is the best way to experience all that open-top charm and fiery performance. Present today is precisely that: a replica done right, and it takes shape with this 1965 Factory Five Racing Shelby Cobra.
This 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica, built by Mid States of Nebraska and offered out of Sandy, Utah, captures that iconic energy with a refined custom build. Featuring a balanced and blueprinted 351ci V8, a Ford Thunderbird-sourced automatic transmission, and a custom chassis setup, this replica is all about high-performance style with usability in mind.

As the predecessor of the 911, and the first production car by Porsche, there’s a lot of history behind the 356, and it’s no surprise that there are people around the world who continue to find ways to pay homage to what is an iconic piece of motoring history. Classic Motor Carriages’ 1987 Porsche 356 Speedster Replica is one of them. Built to maintain the original Porsche design on the road, this car retains the original vehicle’s appearance and features, with some tasteful enhancements. Still, it has a Porsche heart keeping it going, and with only over 11,100 miles on the clock, you know that this is a car that will keep on going.
This 1980 Auburn 874 Dual Cowl Phaeton is one of the extremely rare continuation cars built by Glenn Pray and the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Company in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Pray continued the Auburn legacy by hand-building a very limited number of high-quality replicas, and this example is reportedly one of only 18 ever produced. Unlike most kit-style recreations, the Pray-built 874s were factory-assembled, professionally engineered, and authenticated directly by ACD. This particular vehicle carries a remarkable provenance. It was owned for nearly three decades by Bob Uecker, the legendary World Series champion, comedian, actor, and iconic Milwaukee Brewers radio broadcaster who was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame as the Ford C. Frick Award recipient in 2003. Prior to Uecker’s ownership, the car resided in the renowned Rank family collection and was even used in the 1982 Brewers Post-World-Series Parade, carrying manager Harvey Kuenn and his wife Audrey through Milwaukee to County Stadium. Garaged and sparingly driven since 1997, the car shows 4,325 miles, with an estimated actual mileage of roughly 5,000. In April 2025, it underwent a comprehensive mechanical inspection and servicing by Sports and Classics Service in Delafield, Wisconsin, ensuring that it remains a running and functioning example of one of the rarest Auburn continuations ever built.
The first ever production car from iconic German automaker Porsche was the 356. It was made between 1948 and 1965, and was the brainchild of Ferry Porsche, son of Ferdinand Porsche. Over 76,000 were made, and today, it’s estimated that approximately half of that contingent survives. However, getting your hands on an original 356 is quite tough, not to mention expensive. These cars regularly move for six-figure sums of money. That’s why replicas are a great way to get in on the action if you really want a 356, but aren’t too fussed about originality. Here, we have a 1956 Porsche 356A Convertible Replica that’s reportedly built in 1969. The work was completed by Hicks VW Services, because the Porsche 356 and Volkswagen Beetle have some commonalities.
