1965 Shelby Cobra Replica For Sale - HOU2397

Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is proud to present this awesome blue 1965 Shelby Cobra replica. This classic Snake is courtesy of a Factory Five Racing Cobra kit and a lot of man-hours in the build. Although it's titled as a "2001 ASVE" ("Assembled Vehicle"), it looks and sounds just like the venerable big block-powered Shelby Cobras from the 1960s. Its gorgeous deep blue paint looks great, and the classic racing stripes add to the vintage racing look. Under the hood lurks a massive 460 CID V8, which is backed by a stout 5-speed manual transmission. Fire this bad boy up, and you're treated to the unmistakable sound of a sidepipe-equipped Cobra roadster: plenty of chop to go along with that deep rumble. The big 460 is also equipped with a Holley 4BBL Carb, Edelbrock Performer aluminum intake, Aluminum Ford Motorsport CobraJet heads, MSD Ignition and billet distributor, and wrapped headers. A substantial aluminum radiator helps keep that big block running in the cool zone, aided by twin electric fans, and fed by an Edelbrock aluminum water pump. Four-wheel disc braking provides ample stopping power, and the slotted/drilled rotors up front add some additional performance vibe as they hide behind the polished Halibrand-style aluminum wheels. Sticky Cooper Zeon performance radials keep this wicked ride glued down in the corners. Inside, the black interior is in very nice shape. The black synthetic leather seating is enhanced by suede-like inserts, which help provide better breathing (than vinyl) and help keep the occupants from any slippage while they're strapped in with the very effective 5-point Simpson Racing harness belts. A complete set of AutoMeter gauges provide instrumentation readouts for critical operating temps and pressures. If you're looking for that vintage Cobra ride, without the 7-figure price tag of a real Shelby Cobra, this one checks the boxes!
