1965 Shelby Cobra Factory Five

Description

A seriously speedy machine with all the right thoughtful touches and upgrades - that's what you get with this fuel-injected 1965 Shelby Cobra Factory Five.

Red is an aggressive color that we always love to see on a racing car like the Cobra. It's a thoughtful application that went down with an even hand, and the white racing stripes are under the clearcoat so that the sunlight can move smoothly across the curves of this roadster. It's not a museum piece, but rather a thoughtfully done driver's car. You see it in the details, like how the headlight has the classic Lucas tri-bar style, but they are really a modern piece with brighter lights that show the way better at night. And the side pipes, roll hoop, wind wings, race gas cap, and push bumpers are all part of this competition style. You even have Halibrand-style wheels with genuine knock-off hubs.

The black interior continues this Cobra's aggressive side. But more than just looking great, they also paid attention to details. That's why you have low-back leather bucket seats, Crow racing harnesses, and a mounted fire extinguisher. And when you sit down, you get the full driver's experience. Your left hand will love the correct wood and chrome three-spoke steering wheel with a Cobra center cap. And your right one may never want to leave that shifter that's correctly angled forward. True Cobra fans know a dash full of Smiths gauges is the proper way to celebrate this icon, and the speedometer is even appropriately reversed.

The motor is the heart of any good Cobra, and so this one is done to show correctly. You'll proudly lift the hood to showcase the clean engine bay with Cobra ribbed valve covers and the hallmark long Cobra air topper. And within the style is plenty of substance. You get proper blue oval power with a 5.0-liter fuel-injected V8. It also includes quality supporting components, like MSD ignition, braided fuel lines, a serpentine belt system, and an aluminum radiator. Those header-fed side pipes add both power and thunder to this Cobra. Best of all, you're in complete control over the high-octane soundtrack and the V8's fury with the T5 five-speed manual transmission. Because this is built for strong competition driving, you'll love looking underneath to see the strong tubular steel chassis, a four-link rear, front disc brakes, and rear adjustable coilovers.

This is the clean, powerful, and detailed Cobra you've been waiting for. So don't let this deal slip away. Call today!!!
