1965 Shelby Cobra Roadster Five Racing MKll
This is a Factory Five Racing MKll Shelby Cobra Replica. It was built and never driven more than a few miles. After the car was built, I needed to get it out of the facility and I had just built the facility in Northern Wisconsin to store it, so I shipped it here and this is where it has been. It doesn’t get driven as I am on a gravel road and that’s just not going to happen. Health issues and divorce have me re-evaluating my priorities and since this is never used, time to move on.
The engine started out as a Ford 5.0 H.O Roller Motor. We sent it to Faster 5.0 and they did the long block. Trick Flow Twisted Wedge Heads and Cam. New Crank, Bored with New Pistons and Rods, Crank and all the rest of the guts, even a powder coated block to match the car. I have any build sheets that came with work performance and parts and it will go to the new owner. That should answer many questions. We had the Tremec rebuilt using a Roush gear set. It’s an excellent improvement over the stock gears...it’s much more long legged now. I wanted to stay more true to the original and opted for a carb to keep it simple. The carb was ordered built to the engine specs and powder coated red to match. The build sheet goes with it. Since the donor car started out as a 1988, it had the 4 bolt everything, including the 8.8 rear end. It was immediately converted to 5 lug spindles and rear axles also. Of course all brakes and parts were new. Wheels are staggered and I thought, a great looking enhancement to the overall look. Of course wheels/tires were all new. The hood had a hinge kit installed, but I didn’t like the unfinished look of the under side of the hood, so I had that finished as well. The crappy external trunk hinges were tossed in favor of hidden hinges that actually work and won’t end up rusty and cracking. The inside of the trunk lid was finished as well. The instruments are Dolphin and are electronic, the build sheets are included. Some extras like the chrome roll bar and eustachions, chrome bumper jacks, wind wings and carbon fiber spats were added to the car. Much effort was taken to get the car body straight and gaps nice. I’ve seen a zillion Cobra replicas and most fall sadly short in this area. It’s why I spent the extra money to get this nice.
