The legendary story of the Shelby Cobra started back in 1961 when fabled retired American racing driver Carrol Shelby asked British automaker AC to build him a car that could carry a V8 engine. With the cars provided by AC, Shelby's team crafted several Cobra models that could be found at home on the streets as well as race tracks. His creation was such an icon in automotive culture that various automakers craved for the license to build continuation Cobra cars. The Superformance Cobra MK III is one such car. It's built by one of the licensed manufacturers who meet the standards of the original AC Cobra. This Superformance 1965 Cobra MK III has spent its time in New Mexico for five years with its current owner. It features a special engine installation and has only 9500 miles on its clock, while its previously-replaced Odometer shows 4500 miles. All maintenance and service work required has been kept up to date, and it is perfect for those looking to stand out — In the owner's own words, it "sounds like a pack of Harley Davidsons going down the road".
The exterior is finished in a gorgeous shade of Black Rose exterior paint, which the owner refers to as a "very unique and beautiful color." It's complemented by white Shelby stripes that coalesce the iconic Cobra MK look. This 1965 Superformance Cobra rides on BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires and 15" Halibrand wheels that have black Wilwood disc brake calipers hiding behind them. The Canvas top with frame rods is removable, and the car also comes with a snap-in Canvas cockpit cover. The authentic black interior has comfortable leather seats, and the dash is adorned by gauges, including an odometer, amps, fuel, and oil read-outs. The Moto Lite steering wheel and Superformance floor mats add a nice touch to the cabin.
"It's just a dream to drive with all the power" are the owners' words that show how special of a role the engine plays in this 1965 Superformance Cobra MK III. The original 351ci Windsor is stroked to a more powerful 427 small block engine that has pushed out 550 horsepower on Dyno runs. With a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission distributing the power, this engine has custom Nascar heads by Robert Yates, new plugs and plug wires, a new distributor cap and rotor, Dart block, roller cam, and an eight stack fuel injection set up by Kinsler.

A legend whichever way you look at it, the AC Cobra or Shelby Cobra is a car that was the result of Carroll Shelby’s engineering genius and AC Cars of Britain’s experience with diminutive open-topped sports cars. Stuffing an American V8 into a compact British roadster body created this mad machine, of which less than 1,000 original examples were made between 1962 and 1967. Today, getting your hands on an original Cobra is a difficult and rather expensive task. It’s not uncommon to find mint examples of the original being sold for high six, or even seven figure prices. Thankfully, outfits such as Factory Five Racing exist, and build fine replicas. They even endow them with some modern touches and creature comforts, such as what this 1965 Shelby Cobra by Factory Five Racing comes with. Available in Harbor Springs, Michigan, this car has just 3,000 miles to its name. Let us tell you all about it.

The Shelby Cobra, or AC Cobra was the result of a British-American collaboration. AC Cars of Britain was known for making compact British roadsters. They caught the attention of iconic American racer and tuner Carroll Shelby, who wondered the all-important question of what would happen if you stuck a V8 inside a compact body. The result was the AC Cobra or Shelby Cobra, a true driver’s car that had to be respected if you wanted to extract maximum performance from it. Furthermore, less than 1,000 official Cobras were made between 1962 and 1967, making the car rarer than many exotics produced since then. However, the burgeoning Cobra replica market means that you don’t need to cough up the typical seven-figure price tag that an original Cobra in mint condition may command. Instead, you can get something, like this 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica for much less. The current owner reports that documentation is included with the sale of this Colorado-based car. So, what are you waiting for? Can you rise to the challenge and tame a Cobra? The car will teach you a lot about performance driving too – just remember to be gentle at first.
