Vehicle Description
Carrol Shelby was motivated by speed as a driver and after retiring from racing he obtained a license to import the AC Ace. He fell in love with the performance of the small English roadster at Le Mans and knew he could beef it up with a Ford V8 to compete with the fastest autos in the world. Shelby's thirst for performance and the victory circle caused him to become a household name and automotive legend, and the AC Cobra is his crowning achievement. With sales of actual AC Cobra's in the 7 figures, companies like Factory Five produce awesome replicas for that high-performance Cobra driving experience without the price tag.
This extremely nice Cobra replica is a prime example of what Factory Five can do. Built in 2002 with just over 8,000 miles it comes in a very clean Inferno Red with white racing stripes, beautiful chrome roll bar, and accessory pieces. In the interior, it has the classic instrument gauge set with a reverse reading 180mph speedometer, door panels with an adjustable driver's seat in black leather, as well as a heater. Powering this delight is a Mustang 5.0L fuel injected roller motor and T-5 5-speed manual transmission. Powering the rear wheels, there is an 8.8" rear and with 3.55 ring and pinion gears. When you have to slow down there are 11" disc brakes in the front and 10" drum rear power brakes to stop the 15" replica Halibrand wheels with B.F Goodrich radial Traction Advantage tires. All in all this one cannot be looked over, it is great to look at and even better to drive!
