1965 Shelby Cobra Factory Five

Description

Not only is this price attractive for a 1965 Shelby Cobra replica, but also do you rarely find a quality Factory Five Cobra that's this obtainable. So we know you're already hooked before you read about the 340 hp fuel-injected power or all of the other upgrades that make this speedy package a stellar deal.

Silver Blue Metallic with darker blue painted stripes is an instant attention-grabber. It has the kind of gloss and shine that makes it a hit every time it's parked where the sunshine can find these sleek curves. The color and gloss work particularly well complementing the bright elements like the trim around the lights, hood pins, flip-up gas cap, dual roll hoops, and the imposing side pipes. And while those static-cling decals come off without a mark for the Saturday car show, you'll love the way they look when it comes time for the Sunday track day. And perfectly complementing this presentation no matter what you're doing on the weekend are features like the jack bumpers and iconic ten-spoke Halibrand-style knock-off wheels.

The interior definitely gets the Shelby attitude right with wraparound bucket seats and full Simpson racing harnesses. The driver gets the full Cobra experience with the three spoke wood steering wheel, and the shifter that's been reversed to fit the driver perfectly. There are some nice details like the red start button in the center of the dash, but if you're going to use this on the track, you'll be paying more attention to the full AutoMeter gauge package. There's no radio, no heater, no A/C – this is a competition machine that's all about the driving experience and nothing else needs to get in the way.

Under the hood is a Ford legend, but a much more recent one than you find in most Cobras. The 5.0 fuel-injected V8 included a set of ported and polished GT40 heads for an all-around true performance advantage. This motor is already renowned for power, and there's a huge parts catalog available to maintain and enhance this V8 on any budget. When you fire this one up, the side pipes sound like a personal symphony for those of us who love to really drive. And thanks to the Tremec five-speed manual transmission, you're in full control of this concert. Keeping you connected to the road and on the best racing line is a race-inspired suspension with adjustable coilovers and disc brakes at every wheel. And we just love the detail with the blue-painted chassis.

The sale comes complete with a binder that documents the build and its receipts. So you're looking at a stellar shining Cobra with all the right features, and it's available today for the best price around. That's why you know this is a deal that will be leaving us quickly. Call now!
