Why This Car Is Special

Some legends go by just one name. Elvis, Sinatra, Cher, Prince, just to name a few in the music industry. As far as car legends go, Cobra is about the biggest name to know.

We have a Factory Five built Shelby Cobra replica here at Skyway Classics that is a very potent combination for the street. It has serious big block performance, a five-speed manual, and a fully independent suspension, this is one heck of a buy in the Cobra community.

So we don't have to explain any further why you want this Factory Five Cobra, but we are going to go through all the details so you know this one is even better than you expected.

Mechanical

Factory Five Cobras not only capture the look of one of the world's favorite sports cars, but they build a car that takes advantage of the world's biggest supply of aftermarket performance.

Filling the engine bay is big bold Ford 460 cubic inch Cobra power with that even on the finned aluminum valve covers. It's a huge 460 cubic-inch V8 engine with over 450 horsepower and monster torque under the hood.

But more than just displacement, it has all the right performance upgrades such as a Holley double pumper four-barrel carburetor, aluminum intake, headers that feed those rumbling side pipes, modified aftermarket distributor and electronics, H.D. cooling system and radiator, finned aluminum open element air cleaner, MSD box, and more.

It sends the power back via a manual transmission, in a chassis with a fully independent suspension, adjustable coil overs at each corner, thick sway bars, H.D. rear end, and a four-wheel disc brake package.

This is a very formidable roadster that's also reliable enough to drive every day.

Interior

This Cobra is meant to be as safe on the street as it is on the track too so gaze into the cockpit and you will see the competition-grade bucket seats fitted with Simpson harnesses for both driver and passenger, a stylish dashboard that houses several modern Auto Meter black-face gauges and switches, wood-rimmed Factory 5 steering wheel, the manual shifter, black carpets help with heat control, and dual racing roll bars behind each seat.

Exterior

Factory Five's fiberglass is better than most and you can see it on our Cobra which is painted in in a great purple/blue paint job that shows a lot of metalflake, and looks period correct with the Shelby Cobra hood scoop, huge 5-spoke mag wheels and high performance radial tires, side exhaust, and Shelby Cobra emblems.

Details like tall driver roll hoop, flip-up gas cap, and push bumpers front and rear, tells you this is a serious race car on or off the street.

Conclusion

The Cobra name elicited shivers from the competition on the tracks back in the 1960's, and still does on the street today, but real ones command a million-dollar price.

Now you can have a version of a Cobra like the Factory Five Cobra we have here at Skyway Classics. This is a must have Cobra that any collector needs in his stable to finish his collection, and you can get it today.
