Gateway Classic Cars is proud to present this 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica, a machine that captures the raw spirit and legendary presence of one of the most iconic sports cars ever created. Finished in sinister black with bold white racing stripes stretching from nose to tail, this Cobra commands attention before the engine is even started. The aggressive stance, timeless roadster profile, and unmistakable racing heritage combine to create a car that looks fast standing still.
Slip behind the wheel and you're greeted by a rich brown interior that provides a striking contrast to the black exterior. The cockpit is purpose-built, placing the driver at the center of the action while preserving the classic feel that has made Cobras a dream car for enthusiasts around the world. Every glance across the hood reminds you that this isn't just transportation-it's an experience.
Under the hood sits a freshly rebuilt 302 CID V8 with less than 1,000 miles since completion. The extensive work performed on this Cobra included a complete engine rebuild along with numerous supporting upgrades and maintenance items. The fuel system was serviced with new filters and fuel lines, a new fuel pump was installed, the ignition system received fresh plugs and wires, and a new carburetor was fitted and tuned. Additional work included replacement of the master cylinder, brake service, differential service, transmission adjustments, cooling system gasket replacement, and installation of a braided power steering hose. The result is a Cobra that has benefited from significant mechanical attention, allowing the next owner to enjoy the unmistakable sound and character of Ford V8 power.
Backing the 302 is a smooth-shifting 4-speed automatic transmission that makes this Cobra equally comfortable cruising through town or stretching its legs on the open road. Power steering enhances drivability while maintaining the responsive nature expected from a lightweight roadster.
The Shelby Cobra's racing pedigree is legendary, born from Carroll Shelby's vision of combining lightweight British sports car handling with dependable American V8 muscle. Decades later, the Cobra remains one of the most recognizable performance cars ever built, and replicas like this allow enthusiasts to experience the look, feel, and excitement of the original without compromise.
With its fresh 302 V8, extensive recent mechanical investment, striking black-and-white color combination, brown interior, and automatic transmission, this 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica offers a unique opportunity to own a car that delivers both classic style and exhilarating performance. Whether it's parked at a local cruise night or carving through winding roads on a sunny afternoon, this Cobra is ready to make every drive memorable.
