Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1965 Factory Five Shelby
Cobra for consideration. This is a one owner vehicle and is not a
donor-car build - it was built by a Ford Engineer and a GM
designer. Features include; Ford Motorsports 302 crate motor with
aluminum GT40 heads, Holley 650 CFM carb, Edelbrock aluminum
intake, MSD electronic ignition and blaster coil, ceramic coated
headers and side pipes, 5 speed T5 manual transmission, 8.8 inch
Ford four-link rear axle with 3.55 posi, 4 wheel disc brakes with
large Mustang Cobra front discs, drilled and slotted rotors, four
corner coil-overs, aluminum fuel tank, leather dash and trunk
panel, carpeted trunk, rack and pinion steering, custom wheels
spec'd for this car (20x10 rear and 18x8 front), burnished and
clear-coated aluminum panels, fiberglass body professionally
prepared and finished by a fiberglass specialist (infrared heat
lamp used to remove liquid resins from fiberglass and reskinned)
unlike other Cobras, no surprises will bubble through this paint.
This is an extremely well-done build with no expenses spared; it
has never been driven in the rain and has been stored in a heated
garage off the ground. The owner has provided us with all build
documents and photos through the process. Please call or email us
today for more information on this 1965 Factory Five Shelby
Cobra.
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.
