1965 Shelby Cobra-Replica

This Factory Five Racing Mk3 Roadster is a Cobra replica that was purchased as a kit by the previous owner in 2010 and acquired by the seller in 2021, who subsequently assembled it with a 427ci stroker V8 paired with a Tremec TKX five-speed manual transmission. The fiberglass body is finished in black with gray stripes over black
upholstery, and additional equipment includes Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection, 17" Halibrand-style wheels, Wilwood disc brakes, Koni adjustable coilovers, a single roll hoop, side-exit exhaust pipes, Simpson four-point harnesses, and a cabin heater. This Cobra replica is now offered with build documents and a clean Louisiana title in the seller's name listing the car as a 1965 FFRI MK3. The fiberglass bodywork is finished in black with gray over-the-top stripes. Additional exterior details include a single chrome- finished roll hoop, a bullet-style side mirror, chrome bumperettes, and polished side-exit exhaust pipes with perforated heat shields in addition to a hood scoop, fender vents, wind wings, and a LeMans-style fuel filler cap. Halibrand-style 17" wheels with faux knock- off spinners are wrapped in 245/45 front and 315/35 rear Nitto NT555 G2 tires. The car is said to be equipped with electric power- assisted rack-and-pinion steering, and the fully independent suspension features Koni adjustable coilovers. Braking is handled by red-finished Wilwood calipers over discs at all four corners. The cockpit houses adjustable low-back bucket seats trimmed in black vinyl, and matching upholstery extends to the center console. Simpson four-point harnesses are installed for each occupant, and additional interior appointments include Mercedes- Benz-sourced carpets, a heater, a dash- mounted rearview mirror, a Wilwood clutch and brake pedal set, and a Holley Sniper control interface mounted in the locking glove compartment. The wood-rimmed steering wheel sits ahead of a reverse-sweep 180-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, an analog clock, and auxiliary gauges for water temperature, fuel level, oil pressure, and voltage. The digital odometer shows 1627 miles. The 351ci Windsor V8 was reportedly assembled by Mike Forte of Forte Parts before being installed under current ownership and has been stroked to displace 427ci. It is equipped with Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection, AFR cylinder heads, and a Windsor Stealth intake manifold as well as a Cobra-branded air intake assembly and matching valve covers. An oil cooler is also installed along with a front-mount battery relocation kit and steel braided fuel lines, LizardSkin sound-dampening material has reportedly been applied to the engine bay and interior. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Tremec TKX five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip rear differential reportedly sourced from a Ford Thunderbird Super Coupe. A RAM clutch, a steel billet flywheel, and a Wilwood hydraulic clutch kit are also fitted. NO AUTO BROKERS.
