1965 Shelby Cobra Factory Five

Description

This 1965 Ford Shelby Cobra replica is about style and substance. That's because it's a quality Factory Five machine with a fuel-injected 440 hp V8 wrapped in one of the sleekest finishes around. And this one even give you great extras you rarely find elsewhere, lie the full top and heated seats.

The deep blue instantly grabs your attention, because it's a quality application with a nice metallic element that gives the look of a starry night. And it's an especially sweet treat the way it radiates when the sunlight shows off the Cobra's legendary curvy bodywork. This has been built to be detail-oriented, and so the iconic racing stipes run the full length over the body. Keen eyes will even sport quite useful extras, like the screen guard on the brake cooling openings, carbon fiber rear fender chip protectors, and a Lexan windshield. And while this car is built for serious track time, they also made sure it had plenty of brightwork. It's just now showing off functional pieces, like the full bumpers, dual roll hoops, racing gas cap, and menacing side pipes. There's even bright accenting on the proper Halibrand-style racing wheels.

With only about 10.5k miles on the build, there's been little seat time. So those classic racing buckets look terrific. Of course, it also helps that they are finished in a supple leather that will only keep looking better with age. This has the right mix of vintage and performance as you have five-point racing seatbelts, a wood-rimmed AC sports steering wheel, and a shifter curved at the correct angle. The full gauge package is a modern set, including the GPS speedometer, but they still remembered that Cobras have it reversed. This has some terrific pieces you don't find on every Cobra. Some are for better competition, like the adjustable petals and removable steering wheel. Other features make this a nicer all-around driver, like the full convertible top w/side curtains, proper heater, heated seats, and power steering.

You can tell there's a lot going on under the hood. This is a 347 cubic-inch stroker V8. It's a fuel injected Patriot Performance crate motor. It also includes a Edelbrock RPM intake, MSD ignition, and a cockpit controller for the Holley EFI system. The package is rated at 440 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque. And the growl of the header-fed side pipes really announces you power superiority. The Tremec TKO600 five-speed manual transmission gives you full control of all the power. The chassis is a strong tubular steel frame. And while you're checking that out in the undercarriage photos, don't forget to spot the upgraded tubular control arm front end and three-link rear with banana brace. Add in a full Koni shocks package, Mustang GT four-wheel disc brakes w/KYB pads, and new Nitto 555G2 tires - and so you see how this one knows how to live up to its Cobra legacy.

The sale comes complete with the owner's manual, service manual, build receipts, and even the dyno sheet to prove its awesome power. This is an awesome Factory Five Cobra that's built to look cooler, sound meaner, and drive better. Call today!!!
