1965 Shelby Cobra

Now for sale in our Gateway Classic Cars of Houston showroom is this brilliant pearl white Factory Five 1965 Shelby Cobra replica. A mighty 289 CID V8 engine, mated to a crisp-shifting 5-speed manual transmission provides the go; and Factory Five's tube-frame chassis with coil-overs at all 4 corners and 4-wheel power disc brakes handle keeping things wheels down and with aplomb. The 289 is fed by the big Holley 4BBL carb and gets spark from the requisite MSD ignition. A big aluminum radiator with an electric fan help keep the mill in proper operating temps. Custom ceramic-coated headers feed into the dual side-pipes and provide for that great throaty sound that the early Cobras were famous for. A full set of Autometer Phantom gauges help the driver monitor critical operating functions. Fast is a complete understatement. With little to no weight and a potent V8 up front, this thing is a rocket, and this rocket has been very well kept and cared for over its life, having only covered 9603 miles since it was built in 2005, so it's broken in but not worn out.

The black/white/silver them is a pleasant change from the usual blue/white/gray color combo. A custom Cobra-logoed set of aluminum wheels with machined silver lips and black centers are shod with some very sticky BF Goodrich G-Force T/A radials, 245/45ZR17 up front, and 285/40ZR17s out back. Inside, you'll find a spartan black interior, with some features not found on the originals. For instance, there are gas struts to keep the hood and trunk open, electric seat warmers for the lower cushions on the synthetic leather seats, and an iPod connection for the hidden stereo, which is powered by a Profile AP400 amp, and shoots the tunes out a pair of Polk Audio 2-way speakers. It also sports HID headlights. Whether you're looking for a cruiser, track day car, show car or something fun, this is the car. This car gives you the feeling of driving a real Cobra, but without the 6- to 7-figure price tag.

When you're behind the wheel of a Cobra, it's just you, the car and the road ahead. A true driver's car. Anyone looking at the pictures and video of this beautiful machine can clearly see why it's a great buy. The design is timeless. Don't wait until it's gone to inquire. Don't miss your chance to get behind the wheel of this one.
