The original AC Cobra, or Shelby Cobra as it’s popularly known, is a relatively rare bird in the automotive scene. Under 1,000 examples were made between 1962 and 1967, making it rarer than many modern supercars and hypercars! The Cobra was the result of an unholy union between a compact British Roadster and a brutish American V8, and the only man who dared to try such an union was the legendary Carroll Shelby. Naturally, the Cobra soon separated the boys from the men, so to speak. Taming a Cobra was one of those things that marked you out as a real racing driver. Naturally, with such low production, original Cobras are scarce on the market, and when they do pop up, move for high six, or even seven figure sums! No worries, though, because if you don’t mind a replica, outfits such as Factory Five are ready to assist. One of their creations is up for sale today, a 1967 Shelby Cobra Replica from Germantown, Maryland. This Cobra is a replica of a Mark 4 Roadster example, and packs a 351ci Windsor under the hood. So if you want something thrilling to drive every now and then, this is the definitive car for those all-analog, raw, visceral driving thrills that no modern machine can even come close to delivering.
Exterior and Interior
This 1967 Shelby Cobra Replica wears an iconic Shelby-renowned coat of blue, and those inimitable dual racing stripes in white. It rides on a set of five-spoke mag-style wheels with Cooper Cobra white-lettered tires. The car is, surprisingly, road legal, with headlamps, turn signals, wipers, and even dinky mirrors. But it’s very brave to drive one of these in traffic, to say the least. Of course, when the roads open up… The interior of this 1967 Shelby Cobra Replica, is a black affair with two leather upholstered seats. The driver has a wood-rimmed steering wheel, a manual gear shifter, three pedals, some gauges and a smattering of switches. The passenger, meanwhile, has to contend with admiring Shelby’s signature across their portion of the dash while practicing their poker face as the driver has the time of their life.
Engine
Power comes from a 351ci naturally aspirated V8, fed by a traditional 4-barrel carburetor and paired with a four-speed manual transmission sending power to the rear wheels. This classic combination delivers immediate throttle response and a mechanical connection that modern fuel-injected and automated setups struggle to replicate. The carbureted V8 provides strong low-end torque and a thunderous exhaust note, while the manual gearbox ensures full driver involvement. In a lightweight chassis like the Factory Five Mk4, this drivetrain results in an exhilarating power-to-weight ratio that captures the raw, unfiltered performance character that made the original Cobras so legendary.
This 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica by Backdraft Racing delivers the kind of raw, analog experience that made the original Cobra such an icon, while adding the more modern chassis engineering Backdraft is known for. Showing just 3,314 miles, this example is powered by a 427ci Ford Racing V8 paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. Finished in Gray Metallic with racing stripes over a black leather interior, it brings together classic Cobra proportions, a big-block-style powertrain, side-exit exhaust, knock-off-style wheels, and an unmistakably purposeful cockpit.

Special badging, exclusive gauges, anniversary floor mats, and extensive polished and engine-turned detailing further distinguish this limited-production roadster.
