MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to present a very special 1965 Shelby AC CObra Replica. This beautiful roadster is from the dry state of California, has an incredible paint job, 427ci V8 and 5-speed manual transmission. As a replica, the Shelby you see here started its life as a kit car. The body and frame are from the highly reputable Factory Five Racing. Factory Five Racing makes the best of the best Shelby Cobra kits that are designed for hardcore racing junkies. The body is in incredible shape and extremely sound. It is painted in a deep, wet black paint with red metallic flake and twin burgundy stripes down the center of the car. The paint looks excellent with only minor imperfections. The hood has a center scoop and the sides have vents right above the heads to allow cool air in to cool them. The chrome on the car is in excellent shape and shines bright. This is a seriously gorgeous Shelby Cobra and is sure to turn heads! Inside, you will that the interior is finished in black leather and looks great. The seats show no signs of wear and also have 5-point racing harnesses installed for safety. The dashboard matches the rest of the interior and houses a set of original style black face gauges that look great. The late and great automotive pioneer, Carroll Shelby, has signed the glove box on the dashboard, giving this Shelby a very personal touch. Under the hood is where things get interesting. It is powered by an all aluminum 427 cubic inch side oiler, fuel injected V8 engine. We do have the spec card for the Comp Cams camshaft. The massive engine breathes through a set of side exit headers that have an awesome exhaust note and look just as great. It also has MSD ignition and Accel DFI Wide Band O2 Controller & Datalogger. Mated to the engine is a 5-speed Tremec manual transmission, making this car a blast to drive. It's safe to say that this roadster has an excellent, modern and dependable driveline! The car sits aggressively upon a set of polished aluminum knock off wheels, wrapped in 26.5x8.0-15 tires in the front and 26.5x10.5-15 tires in the rear.
