Red-hot and ready for action, the 1966 Shelby Cobra Factory Five
Mark II sits before you - a genuine built-to-thrill machine with
just 7,248 miles on the clock since assembly. The bright red paint
on this roadster slices through the air while crisp white racing
stripes run from nose to tail, giving it unmistakable racing
pedigree. The aggressive profile is heightened by the 15" wheels
wrapped in BFG Radial TA rubber - 235/60R15 up front and wider
255/60R15 in back for optimal grip. Every curve and angle of this
roadster pays homage to Carroll Shelby's original vision while
maintaining the authentic low-slung, high-performance silhouette
that made these cars legendary on tracks worldwide.
Black vinyl bucket seats anchor the minimalist black interior,
designed for function rather than luxury. The Shelby shift knob
sits atop the floor-mounted shifter, ready for quick gear changes.
AutoMeter gauges display vital information clearly, allowing for
split-second readings at high RPMs. Simple yet effective
turnbuckle-style lap belts keep the driver securely in place during
hard cornering. The interior follows Factory Five's standard layout
- straightforward, uncluttered, and focused solely on driving,
without unnecessary distractions or creature comforts to add weight
or complexity.
The mechanical masterpiece of this roadster centers around its 5.0
Liter V8 engine borrowed from a Fox body Mustang, paired with a T5
5-speed automatic transmission. Electronic fuel injection provides
consistent fuel delivery and instantaneous throttle response. Long
tube headers and side exit exhaust create a thunderous soundtrack
while dramatically improving exhaust flow. The fully independent
front suspension with adjustable coilovers and solid axle rear with
4-link and coilovers deliver exceptional handling characteristics.
Four-wheel disc brakes deliver superior stopping power, making for
a complete performance package from acceleration to cornering to
braking.
