1965 Shelby Cobra

Shelby Cobra (1965)
for sale

Price: US $27,000.00

Description:

Relisted due to overzealous bidder without time, space or money. If you don't have those, please don't bid :)
Factory Five Racing Cobra replica finished in 2002.
Two years to complete because you can’t rush a good thing.
If I didn’t like the way something turned out, I redid it including replacing my low-mile stock EFI 5.0L donor car engine with a professionally built 302 with several upgrades. More on that later.
This car looks as good as the day it was finished; inside, outside and underneath. You will not be disappointed.
Receipts available for everything and build photos.
Always kept in climate controlled garage and covered.
Never seen rain, but wipers are included (not installed).
It has a TN title with under 3, 000 miles. Why wouldn’t it look new, it is.
I'm selling it to make room for new projects. It was a blast to build and is a blast to drive, but I'm sure it will get more vaulable use in your garage.

This engine is a brute. You need to be ready when you step on the throttle or you will get yourself in trouble very quickly. This is only the second fastest car that I have ever driven or ridden. The first was completely impractical for the street. This is actually very streetable and comfortable for longer trips if you keep your foot under control.
