Factory Five 1965 Cobra Roadster Packs Iconic Style and Modern Muscle

Stunning Factory Five 1965 Shelby Cobra replica combines eye-catching paint, fuel-injected V8 power, and authentic Cobra charisma.


An eye-catching Factory Five replica of the legendary 1965 Shelby Cobra Roadster is capturing the attention of car enthusiasts, blending classic American muscle heritage with contemporary performance and striking custom finishes.

Finished in a unique "Burple" hue—a distinctive blue-purple color custom-formulated by House of Kolor—this Factory Five Cobra roadster embodies the unmistakable silhouette of the Shelby original. Bold white racing stripes flow seamlessly from nose to tail, accented by signature Cobra elements including polished side pipes, gleaming chrome bumperettes, and a prominent chrome roll bar behind the driver's seat.

Under the hood, modern performance meets classic charisma. A fuel-injected 5.0-liter Ford V8 provides ample power and reliability, enhanced by a high-performance Trick Flow intake system. Mated to a crisp-shifting Tremec five-speed manual transmission and a robust Ford 8.8-inch rear end, the Cobra promises exhilarating acceleration and precise control.

The Cobra's cockpit pairs vintage aesthetics with modern functionality. Drivers grip a beautifully polished wood-rimmed steering wheel while nestled into supportive black vinyl racing seats secured with Simpson four-point harnesses. A full complement of white-faced AutoMeter gauges keeps essential data at the driver's fingertips, and an AM/FM/CD stereo provides entertainment beyond the roar of the exhaust.

Underneath, a meticulously detailed tubular frame, coil-over suspension, and four-wheel disc brakes ensure sharp handling and confident stopping power. Polished differential covers and detailed aluminum trunk panels underscore the craftsmanship invested in the build.

Displaying only 6,543 indicated miles, this Cobra has been maintained as a show-quality centerpiece, impeccably presented with no noted flaws. While the true mileage is unknown, this Factory Five build feels and drives like a new car, blending timeless Shelby style with modern reliability and performance.

Ready for spirited drives, car shows, or weekend cruises, this Factory Five 1965 Cobra Roadster effortlessly channels the legendary spirit of Carroll Shelby’s original Cobra racers.
