Gateway Classic Cars of Dallas/Fort Worth is thrilled to offer this
iconic 1965 AC Cobra Replica, built by North American Fiberglass
(NAF). Crafted with exceptional attention to historical detail,
this roadster features a body modeled directly after the original,
sleek AC Cobra design rather than Shelby's later, heavily flared
modifications. Finished in a glossy black exterior accented by
classic Terlingua Racing Team fender graphics, this build captures
true vintage racing spirit while delivering modern performance
engineering underneath.
Under the hood resides a potent 351 Windsor V8 engine with
Edelbrock Aluminum Intake and Aluminum Performer RPM heads and
headers, Edelbrock Carb and Mallory HEI Distributor, paired with an
engaging five-speed manual transmission. Designed for reliable
cooling under spirited driving conditions, the engine bay is
outfitted with an aluminum radiator and a high-flow electric
cooling fan. Power is delivered to the ground through a rugged
8.8-inch rear end, backed by independent front suspension featuring
double A-arms, front and rear sway bars, and direct rack-and-pinion
steering for precise apex carving. Fully adjustable QA1 coilover
shocks at all four corners allow drivers to tailor ride height and
damping dynamics to their exact preference. High-performance
Wilwood disc brakes provide massive, predictable stopping power,
while sticky Goodyear Eagle white-letter performance tires wrapped
around classic knock-off style wheels ensure maximum grip.
Inside, the open-top cockpit combines vintage racing aesthetics
with refined driver comfort. The interior features grey leather
bucket seating, plush carpeting, a classic wood-rimmed steering
wheel, traditional dashboard instrumentation, and a fire
extinguisher for authentic motorsport flair.
This NAF 1965 AC Cobra replica represents significant value in the
sports car market by blending the purest, early-style Cobra body
lines with top-tier chassis upgrades. High-end components like the
front double A-arm setup, sway bars, rack-and-pinion steering, QA1
adjustable coilovers, Wilwood braking system, reliable 351W
powertrain, and stout 8.8 rear end eliminate the handling and
mechanical quirks of original vintage roadsters while keeping the
pure, analog driving experience fully intact.
