Few cars capture the spirit of American performance quite like a Shelby Cobra, and this Factory Five Mk3 Roadster delivers that legendary experience with modern craftsmanship and proven reliability. Titled as a 1965 Ford Assembled, this professionally built roadster combines timeless Cobra styling with dependable components, impressive power, and only 9,119 miles shown. Finished in striking Ford Blue with white pearl racing stripes, the body was expertly painted by Alcade Customs and sits over a gloss black powder-coated chassis, creating an unmistakable presence whether parked or carving through back roads. Power comes from a professionally built 408 cubic-inch stroker V8 assembled by Gordon Levy Racing and dyno-tested at an impressive 400 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque at the rear wheels. The engine features Victor Jr. aluminum heads, a Victor Jr. intake manifold, Holley 750 CFM double-pumper carburetor, K&N low-profile air cleaner, ceramic-coated 4-into-4 side headers, an Edelbrock aluminum water pump, custom oil pan, and an MSD distributor with tuning jet assortment included. Power is sent through a Tremec T5 five-speed manual transmission, providing the raw, engaging driving experience that made the original Cobras famous. The chassis was built with performance in mind from the ground up. Adjustable coil-over suspension at all four corners, Factory Five upper and lower control arms, Pro shocks, a rebuilt Ford 9-inch rear end with 2.73 gears, and a steel driveshaft loop all contribute to confident handling. Baer Racing four-wheel disc brakes, stainless steel brake lines, and an adjustable brake proportioning valve provide outstanding stopping power, while the classic 17-inch Halibrand-style wheels wrapped in Kumho Ecsta performance tires perfectly complete the iconic Cobra stance. Inside, the cockpit remains true to the minimalist racing heritage of the original Cobra while offering thoughtful upgrades for comfort and usability. Original-style bucket seats are paired with Simpson five-point harnesses, a beautiful hardwood-rim steering wheel, aluminum pedals, AutoMeter gauges, heater, visors, hidden 12-volt power outlet, ignition cutoff switch, and driver/passenger headset provisions. A tonneau cover is also included, allowing the car to maintain its authentic roadster appearance when desired. Additional details include a 20-gallon Fuel Safe fuel cell, chromed roll bar, full bumpers, Cobra badging, windshield wipers, hood and trunk struts, battery access panel, brake duct grilles, and an upgraded Painless wiring harness with OEM-style connectors, reflecting the quality and attention to detail throughout the build. Whether you're searching for an exhilarating weekend cruiser, a Cars & Coffee standout, or a faithful tribute to one of the greatest sports cars ever built, this Factory Five Cobra offers an incredible combination of classic styling, proven performance, and modern engineering.
