The Shelby Cobra, a car born from Carroll Shelby's audacious vision to put an American V8 into a British AC Ace roadster, quickly became an icon of raw power and unadulterated performance. From its introduction in 1962, the Cobra redefined sports car motoring, dominating racetracks and capturing the hearts of enthusiasts worldwide. With its lightweight body and potent Ford V8s, Cobras like the 289 and later the big-block 427 cemented their legend through racing victories and an unmistakable, visceral driving experience. The Factory Five MKIV kit car stands as a faithful homage to this legend, meticulously recreating the lines and spirit of the original while allowing for modern engineering and performance upgrades. This particular Factory Five MKIV Cobra, titled as a 1965 Shelby Cobra, is a stunning testament to that spirit, featuring a mere 110 miles on the odometer since its meticulous build. Under its aggressively styled hood lies the heart of a modern legend: a Ford Performance Gen 3 Coyote 5.0L crate engine, breathing through full-length headers with catalytic converters for a blend of exhilarating power and refined sound. The manual transmission ensures an engaging connection between driver and machine, true to the Cobra ethos. Visually, this Cobra is nothing short of spectacular, finished in a dazzling House of Kolor Candy Green. Custom ghost racing stripes, subtly buried beneath the clear coat, add a dynamic element that shifts and reveals itself depending on the light, providing a unique and captivating aesthetic. This is a meticulously crafted homage to an automotive legend, ready to deliver an unparalleled driving experience.
