The Shelby Cobra, a car born from Carroll Shelby's audacious vision to put an American V8 into a British AC Ace chassis, became an instant legend. From its humble beginnings in the early 1960s, the Cobra quickly established itself as a dominant force on racetracks worldwide, famously challenging and beating Ferrari in the FIA World Sportscar Championship. Its lightweight design combined with potent Ford powerplants created a raw, visceral driving experience that few cars could match, cementing its status as an icon of American performance and ingenuity. This particular 1965 Shelby Cobra Factory Five Mark IV embodies that spirit, meticulously crafted to replicate the exhilarating essence of the original. With a mere 31 miles on the odometer, this stunning roadster is virtually new, ready to carve its own legend on the open road. Beneath its vibrant blue finish lies a modern 4.6-liter V8 engine, paired with a manual transmission, promising an engaging and unadulterated driving experience that connects driver to machine in the most direct way possible. This is an opportunity to acquire a meticulously built homage to one of the most significant sports cars ever conceived.
