For Sale: 1965 Shelby Cobra in Mesa, Arizona

Vehicle Description

Factory Five's tribute to Carroll Shelby's racing legend, this 1965 Shelby Cobra Factory Five rolls in gray with aggressive black center stripes down the spine. Open roadster configuration stays true to the original competition spirit. American Racing 17" wheels sit at all four corners, mounted with 225/45R17 front and 255/40R17 rear Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 rubber. Side pipes exit through the rockers for that authentic competition exhaust note, while 4-wheel disc brakes handle the stopping duties when the action gets serious.

Racing bucket seats wrapped in black vinyl create the competition cockpit environment. Traditional round gauges keep tabs on vitals from the dash, while Factory Five floor mats protect the cabin. Floor-mounted shifter sits right where it belongs for quick gear changes during spirited runs. Carroll Shelby's signature adorns the dash as a nod to the racing heritage. Clean black vinyl throughout maintains that no-nonsense race car interior that serious drivers expect from a Cobra tribute.

Ford's proven 302 V8 breathes through a Holley 4-barrel carburetor mounted on an Edelbrock intake manifold. Power flows through a 5-speed manual Borg Warner T5 transmission for precise gear selection. Independent front suspension features control arms, coilovers and rack and pinion steering, while the solid rear axle uses coil springs and shocks. BBK long tube headers feed those side pipes for proper exhaust flow. The 8.8 rear axle transfers power to the pavement through those Michelin-wrapped American Racing wheels.
