  • Shelby Cobra Factory Five Roadster Replica

    This car was built while working for Factory Five - which allowed me phenomenal resources and assistance which resulted in a great build. I've had it since new - 1 owner - and due to relocating for a job (to Boston) I must finally sell. This chassis is a MKII chassis. It drives very well, and it tight and firm with absolutely no lack of power. The transmission shifts well, and is very smooth. The transmission (T5Z) was new at the time of the original build, which would mean it's got just over 4,000 miles on it. Engine is a 302 High Output, with a plethora of goodies which do not compromise the reliability of the engine. I've always been very well educated with cars and building them, and am an engineer as my profession.

    My name is Thomas, and I can be contacted at (734) 6zero4-zero369

    Enjoy this professionally recorded video of the exact car for sale in this ad. This video was filmed 5/26/2014 and accurately displays the car. For the very, very few miles on the car over the years, it saw mostly cruising with very little enthusiastic driving - however, it is built to handle such thing, and it was built to be enjoyed. This video is best viewed with headphones, as it will also give an incredibly accurate idea of the sound too. Again.... enjoy!



    Thanks for looking

        I can't seem to get the video to load.

        EDIT: Never mind- I got it now. Adblock was interfering.

          Glad you got it resolved - the video showcases the car incredible well. It's brutal, loud and A LOT of fun. If I don't get much action online (which at $26,000 I'm almost certain it'll sell in 1 or 2 weeks) I'll bring it to a couple local shows to get it out and about.

          Let me know if any of you have questions!

                      I drove a Superformance Cobra with a mean 428 a couple times, these are really fun cars! Good choice on the color.
