1965 Shelby Cobra Factory Five

Description

This 1965 Shelby Cobra Factory Five is about style and substance. That's because it's a quality Factory Five machine wrapped in a sleek and modern finish. And beneath this skin are components from an SVT donor Cobra and supercharged V8.

The marron gives you the race car kind of red you want, but in a darker tone for more distinction. And a quality application and a metallic element mean this one also has an extra pop in the sunlight that makes others jealous. And those silver painted stripes add to the sporty style and radiance. This is a desirable Factory Five car that was completed in 2016 with only about 1,700 miles on the build, and so you have a terrific fit to the body that lets the sunlight show off all those iconic curves. And part of this legendary style is about putting the performance on display. You see it with classic pieces like the roll hoop, push bumpers, and bright side pipes. Plus, the US Mags alloys and the big/bright brake calipers you see within signal an upgraded driver's experience.

The interior does a terrific job of being vintage while giving you the right upgrades, too. For example, you have the classic low-back bucket seats. But now they have fresh padding on this low mileage build and Simpson racing. The dash is dominated by crisp gauges, including a large tach and correct reversed speedo. Your left hand grabs the grippy three-spoke sports steering wheel (power steering), and your right gets attracted to the American Powertrain White Lightning shifter.

A great Cobra is all about the motor, and this one has a very special powerhouse. For starters, it's a true Cobra motor... a 5.0-liter fuel-injected V8 borrowed from a '95 Mustang SVT Cobra. It's a terrifically built powerhouse that includes a 90 mm mass air flow sensor, 42 lbs injectors, a BBK throttle body, and an Edelbrock fuel pump. And there's a Kenne Bell Blowzilla blower with 91 lbs pulley on top to supercharge your power. And the header-fed side pipes have the right growl without being obnoxious. It has a clean and ultra-tidy presentation of a low mileage build. It's great that you have full control over it with a stout T5 five-speed manual transmission with a Borg-Warner Brute Power clutch. The undercarriage looks just as clean as the rest of the car, and so you can easily see the strong chassis, adjustable coilovers all-around, and four-wheel power disc brakes with drilled & slotted rotors.

This is the sharp-looking Factory Five Cobra that supercharges your track-ready dreams. Call today!!!
