The 1965 Shelby Cobra is perhaps the purest expression of automotive performance ever put on the streets. But when you look at the timeand#44; moneyand#44; and effort it takes to build your ownand#44; youll realize how much you really just want a quality Factory Five replica like this one with a performance-built 302 V8 and an irresistible price. Factory Five got the formula right – adding welcomed amounts of room without taking away from the classic Cobra proportions. Youll feel the difference the moment you sit behind the wheel... but more on that in a moment. Firstand#44; just marvel at the companys 20+ years of fiberglass Cobra knowledge. They understand the gentle European curves originally created by ACand#44; and the aggressive fenders and hood that Carroll Shelby needed to harness all that added power. This body looks exceptional in deep metallic blueand#44; and just as importantand#44; it also gets the details right. The dual white stripes are an iconic touchand#44; and the flip-up gap cap is a great reminder of this cars track ability. But theres something slightly different about this one... it feels like there is a bit more of a sinister touch. Thats thanks to traditionally bright elements being rendered in black. It gives a little more attitude in places like the quick jack bumpers and roll hoop. And it definitely adds a more visual attitude to the wicked rumbling side pipes. The interior also gets the Shelby attitude right with wrap-around leather buckets and Simpson racing seatbelts. The driver gets the full Cobra experience with the three spoke wood steering wheel and a shift lever thats been reversed to fit the driver perfectly. All of this looks fantasticand#44; which just reaffirms the little seat time on this low mileage build. Theres a full gauge packageand#44; which is critical if youre using your Cobra on the track. Theres no radioand#44; no heaterand#44; no A/C – this is a competition machine thats all about the driving experience and nothing else needs to get in the way. When you open the hoodand#44; you (and everyone else) will always love to see the proper Cobra valve covers and long air grabber. More than just the Cobra-specific componentsand#44; this powerplant has a nice overall presence. Thats thanks to recent servicing that includes new plugsand#44; wiresand#44; Pertronix electronic ignitionand#44; alternatorand#44; electric fanand#44; and much more. And beyond all the correct fresh and reliable components lies the heart of a great blue oval beast. Fords 302 cubic-inch V8 is already a legend on the streetsand#44; and it only gets better with enhancements like the Holley Performance four-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock intake. This V8 does a great job of moving the lightweight fiberglass bodyand#44; and you can stay in the powerband with ease thanks to the five-speed manual transmission. Of courseand#44; power is nothing without control. Thats why this Cobra comes with front disc brakes and new BF Goodrich g Force Sport Comp tires on this five-spoke Shelby wheels. This one is competitive fun on the street or track. A Cobra is a dream for a lot of usand#44; so hurry up before one of the most affordable and complete Factory Five builds gets snatched up by someone else. Call today!!! |
