Vehicle Description
Perhaps no other American manufacturer gained more international
recognition than Carrol Shelby. His thirst for performance and the
victory circle has made him a household name in all aspects of
motorsports. The A/C Cobra is Shelby's crowning achievement. Large
horsepower integrated with a lightweight tubular chassis and sexy
hand built aluminum body, With a partnership of AC Motorcars and
Ford, Shelby's AC 427 Cobra thundered onto the scene in 1965
offering a big block, high horse power edition over the already
popular 289 small block version that came on scene two years prior.
To this day, the look, sound, power and feel of the Cobra remains
on the bucket list of many motoring enthusiasts and long before
original examples far began exceeding 7 figures in value,
independent manufacturing companies and talented performance car
builders began building replica versions of the famed Cobra.
According to Factory Five Racing, "There is no better way to honor
a legacy than to continue it. The MK2 Roadster is designed to
accurately reproduce the looks of the legendary 427 Cobra, keeping
its essence intact, while using modern technology, parts and
materials to improve performance, reliability and comfort."
