Vehicle Description
Motorcar Studio is pleased to offer this 1965 Shelby Cobra Factory
Five replica. The car is finished in Redfire, an attractive deep
ruby red, with pearl white racing stripes. Paint quality is
excellent, as are all chrome, lenses and glass. The car is running
a set of 15-inch Halibrand replicas with meaty BF Goodrich radial
TAs. Functional sidepipes look and sound great.
As with all Shelby Cobras, the interior is all business but is
clean and well-executed - the streamlined dash is punctuated by a
complete set of AutoMeter gauges and a wood-rimmed Factory Five
steering wheel. Simpson four-point belts keep driver and passenger
secure in the fixed-back seats. All gauges, lights and switches are
working as they should. This Cobra is equipped with headlights,
taillights, brake lights, turn signals and a horn but no windshield
wipers - we can say with confidence that this car has never been
driven in the rain.
Under the hood is a 302 ci V8 fully rebuilt and bored .030" over
and fitted with a mild cam, then mated to a Tremec five-speed
manual transmission. Intake and fuel injection are from an early
2000s Mustang (ECU is cleanly mounted under the dash on the
passenger side). MSD ignition. Just under 7,000 miles on the build.
Runs well and thanks to the fuel injection you just turn the key
and go - it's a blast to drive.
Serial number FFR4988K indicates it's a Factory Five Mark II kit.
The car is titled in Georgia as a 1965 Factory Five Roadster. For
