1965 Factory Five Cobra
This professionally assembled Factory Five Racing Mk3 Roadster is a striking Shelby Cobra replica, powered by a 347ci Stroker V8 paired with a heavy-duty Tremec T5 close-ratio 5-speed manual and Holley Sniper EFI. The car shows approximately 1,875 miles since completion, though true mileage is unknown.
Mechanical highlights include a heavy-duty Ford 8.8 rear differential with 3.73 gears, full rewire completed in 2023, and numerous 2024 updates: new battery, copper header gaskets, speedometer cable, transmission and oil pan gaskets, crankshaft seal, timing cover gasket, water pump, and heat shields for the side-exit exhaust. A short shifter was also installed in 2024.
Features include a functional heater and backup light. The fiberglass body is finished in ceramic-coated British Racing Green with dual white stripes. It rides on staggered 17-inch Hallibrand-style wheels wearing Kumho Ecsta tires (255/40ZR17 front, 275/40ZR17 rear). The black interior features carpeted floors, black bucket seats, a leather-wrapped dash and steering wheel, and original-style Smiths gauges. The car is titled in Florida as a 1965 Shelby.
