Vehicle Description
Perhaps no other American manufacturer has gained more
international recognition than Carroll Shelby. His thirst for
performance and the victory circle has made him an household name
in all aspects of Motorsports. The A/C cobra is Shelby's crowning
achievement. Large horsepower integrated with a lightweight tubular
chassis and sexy and built aluminum body, coupled with a strong
partnership with AC motorcars and Ford, Shelby's AC 427 Cobra
thundered onto the scene offering high horsepower to the already
popular small block, sleeker bodied cars that appeared 2 years
prior. To this day, the look, sound, power and feel of the Cobra
remains on the bucker list of many motoring enthusiasts and with
original examples far exceeding 7 figures in value, small
independent manufacturing companies began building replica versions
of the Cobra. Factory Five has been on top of the game for over 20
years in building the highest quality Cobra component car kits and
are revered as the best in the business.
GR Auto Gallery is thrilled to offer this exciting, highly
engineered, 1965 Shelby 427 Cobra replica by Factory Five. The car
offered here was ordered new and configured by an automotive
engineer and performance enthusiast. It is finished in classic
Shelby Royal Blue with Artic White Stripes. The car has recently
been completely freshened cosmetically and also treated to a
complete mechanical restoration. It is powered by a professionally
prepared 347 Ford stroker engine that produces 475 horsepower which

The performance of this Cobra is amazing and the build quality
along with its mechanical engineering gives total confidence to the
driver as this high performance cobra is fully sorted and ready to
perform for its second owner. The car has been owned, cherished,
and drivin by its original owner since 2003. During that time, the
car has been looked after constantly, always being refined,
improved upon and has evolved into a superior Factory five Cobra.
Documentation includes a significantly large catalogue of receipts,
diagrams, specs and everything else the new owner would need to
know about nearly every inch of the car.
Ford's strong racing history is a prime example of why these cars
are on the road today and are so desirable by the masses. With a
style and sound unlike any other vehicle on the toad, the Shelby
Cobra has become an American Icon. High quality examples such as
this remain in high demand. This car is titled as a 2003
assembled.
