For Sale: 1965 Shelby Cobra in Mesa, Arizona

The 1965 Shelby Cobra is a quality Factory Five replica. And while that already makes it worth the price all on its own, this one also gives you terrific features, like a fuel-injected V8, five speed, and a slick paint that's part of a detailed color-matched style.


Factory Five is known for producing quality Cobras, and this example only has about 5k miles on it since completion. So it shows far less signs of use than many others out there. The Black Cherry paint is a terrific color that has the deep tone you want in an intimidating roadster, and at the same time, this one also has an extra pop of color in the sunlight that makes it so memorable. It's so appealing that you'll even spot the color used for details in other places, like the custom-painted Halibrand-style racing wheels. The dark color also allows for the brightwork to stand out further on places like the roll hoop, headlight bezels, gas cap, and wheel trim. But of course, your favorite contrasting piece will be the full racing stripe package - the white even is done with a pearlescent glow for added flair. And as a true competition-ready Cobra, it has all your favorite track-style pieces, like the quick jack bumpers, full racing tonneau, and side stripes.


The interior continues the race-ready attitude. You get leather bucket seats with full Simpson racing harnesses, side wind wing deflectors, and nice stainless inserts in the doors that match the trunk. The classic-style wood-rimmed steering wheel and forward tilted gearstick give you a great classic Cobra feeling. And the dash is dominated by a full set of AutoMeter Pro-Comp Ultra-Lite gauges.


The engine bay has a clean style that reminds you of the low mileage on this build. And you'll even notice the exterior deep red returning on the intake and Cobra valve covers. More than just look cool, this has the substance of Ford's mighty 302 cubic-inch V8. In inhales with added power and consistency with BBK fuel injection system. It exhales with added power and authority as headers feed those awesome side pipes. This V8 does a great job of moving the lightweight fiberglass body, and you can stay in the powerband with ease thanks to the five-speed manual transmission. Plus, features like a strong tubular frame, coilovers, front disc brakes, and wide BF Goodrich tires make for a proper sports car feeling.


Complete with build receipts, this is a sharp-looking Factory Five Cobra. And so you know how rare it is to find this level of quality priced so well. Call today!!!
