When you see “Shelby” in a vehicle name you are guaranteed that you’ll be getting one of a line of iconic vehicles produced and endorsed by the legendary carmaker that carries Carroll Shelby’s name. The AC Shelby Cobra is world renowned model, its images are ubiquitous in every car aficionado’s bedroom and is featured on most lists of best cars. The AC in the AC Shelby Cobra stands for AC (Auto Carriers ltd) Cars – A British outfit. The AC Cobra is an interesting amalgamation of British design and engineering, inspired by American principles and packing a very American Ford V8 of up to 427ci (7.0L). Numerous replicas have been produced as a homage to this iconic car, and we have a 1966 Shelby AC Replica 427 SC (Semi-Competition) for sale. It’s been in its current family for a tad under thirty years and comes with just 7,995 miles on the odometer.
This 1966 Shelby AC Replica 427 SC is faithfully painted in the iconic Classic Blue with white racing stripes. The car rests on a set of Halibrand aluminum 15” wheels with staggered front (225/60) and rear (255/60) tires, which are in good condition. The car has the well-known side exhausts too. As per the original Shelby AC Cobra this car also features a round tube frame. The interior is adorned in black leather. The car has been constantly kept in a garage and covered. The car cover is included on request, but the top is not included with the sale. The interior is done with a black theme, where the driver and passenger sit on black leather seats. The driver grips a thin, wood-rimmed steering wheel whilst several chrome gauges are on hand to provide critical information. It’s all analog here.
The Ford 427 FE engine under the hood of this 1966 Shelby AC Replica combined with a single 4-barrel Holley carburetor puts out 485hp and 480 lb ft of torque, enough to give a top speed of 185 mph. Additional upgrades include a new fuel vent pipe installed in the fuel system, a Mustang II steering rack and pinion, disc brakes on all four wheels, and dual coil over suspension in the rear, with coil overs in the front as well. A recent maintenance regime was conducted, including a newly fitted clutch slave cylinder.

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.
The original Shelby Cobra, actually called the AC Cobra, is a British-American collaboration that came together to give the automotive world something truly wondering. AC Cars (Britain) and Carroll Shelby (American) are the two main parties in this enthralling story that would see an American V8 stuffed into a diminutive British roadster, creating something that scared nearly everyone who dared drive it as hard as possible. Less than a thousand original Cobras were made, which means that the replica market is booming. After all, the beauty of a replica is that you can customize it accordingly. Enter this 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica, that’s reportedly a race car style build of a Gen 1 Cobra. And now, this 10,000-mile beast can be yours!
Arguably, the best and worst thing about the Shelby Cobra is that they just didn’t produce enough of them. Original cars, designed by AC of the UK and enhanced by Shelby America, are so sought after today that their pricing is now in the stratosphere. Thankfully, there are some dedicated replica manufacturers out there that will get you as close to the original at a fraction of the cost. In this case, say hello to the 1965 Shelby Cobra Backdraft Racing. Backdraft Racing is renowned for its Cobra reproductions, and this car is a beauty. In addition to its stunning looks, capped off with a Steel Grey exterior, you’ll find some choice elements in play, too. Under the hood lies a 351ci V8 engine that has been breathed upon with parts from Edelbrock and Holley. You get independent coilover suspension and some nice wheels. Plus, an interior to die for. With a reported 3,000 miles on the clock, this Shelby Cobra is exceedingly tempting.
