The AC Shelby Cobra’s story is a tale of a legendary transatlantic partnership. Designed by the independent British manufacturer AC Cars, the Cobra was first introduced in 1962. AC Cars would build, paint, and assemble cars (without the drivetrain) and ship them to Shelby in the US to do the finishing touches, drop the drivetrains in, and put them on sale. Early 1963 saw the MkII come into the market with a mechanically redesigned front end. The Cobra now had rack and pinion steering (with the steering rack from the MGB and the steering column from the VW Beetle), while retaining the transverse leaf spring front suspension. Most Shelby Cobras were fitted with Ford 289ci (4.7L) V8s. Several variants were developed for various types of motorsports, including the S/C (semi-competition) models, which were unsold race cars that were detuned and made road-legal to sell to the public. An original S/C is said to sell for as much as US$1.5 million today. Sadly, setbacks in motorsport and other factors resulted in the Cobra being a failure (financially) for both Carroll Shelby and Ford, leading to the discontinuation of the AC Shelby Cobra in 1967. Despite this, the Shelby Cobra has become a fan favorite, as seen by the number of replicas being produced even today like the one here produced by Factory Five Racing.
This 1965 Cobra is finished in blue with white Shelby stripes running down the middle, which is an iconic color combination for Cobras. The interior is black, making the chrome (forward slanted) gear stick and the wood-rimmed, 3-spoke steering wheel stand out. The gauge cluster and the dash-mounted rear-view mirror are also very characteristically '60s. There’s also a fire extinguisher mounted between the seats for good measure. The many Shelby emblems on both the exterior and the interior (including the Cobras stitched on the seats) remind you exactly which car you’re in. This car also has air conditioning, interior lighting, and true knockoff racing wheels.
At the heart of this machine is a 302ci V8 with multi-port fuel injection, reportedly clocking 400hp on the dyno. Drilled and slotted rotors help bring all this power to a stop when needed, and the independent rear suspension helps in the corners. And it’s not just numbers on a piece of paper either, as this car is reported to have been raced at several tracks by the current owner.

Our featured car is a replica of a 1967 Shelby Cobra. This 2010 AC Cobra replica was built by Shell Valley. And, like most replicas, the approach to personalization is off the charts. This car features a stroked 351ci V8 engine, with the total displacement now standing at 418ci, with an output reported at 500hp.

Less than a thousand original Cobras were made, which means that the replica market is booming. After all, the beauty of a replica is that you can customize it accordingly. Enter this 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica, that’s reportedly a race car style build of a Gen 1 Cobra. And now, this 10,000-mile beast can be yours!

The Porsche 356 was the first ever commercial model that Porsche made, debuting in 1950. Sharing some common components with the Volkswagen Beetle (which Ferdinand Porsche himself had a hand in), the two cars couldn’t be more divergent in purpose and persona. While the Beetle is a friendly, cute, family car, the Porsche 356 is a lightweight, nimble-handing sports car. It was made in coupe and convertible (Speedster) forms. This makes the 356 one of the most sought-after classic cars these days. It’s not unheard of for mint specimens to fetch high six, or even seven-figure prices. Thankfully, there are plenty of excellent replicas around for those who want the 356 driving experience, but aren’t too fussed about purity. We’ve got to say that this 2007 Vintage 356 Speedster Replica up for sale right now is one of the best replicas that we’ve seen. If it speaks your language, don’t delay; call us ASAP.
The Porsche 550 was a mid-engined sports car, available as a coupe and as a spyder, specifically developed and used for racing in the mid-fifties. It won upon debut at the Nurburgring Eifel Race in 1953, a result that would set the tone for the rest of its motorsport career. It was succeeded by the Porsche 718 in 1957, which would also become incredibly successful. 70 years on, they’ve become incredibly sought after, with the most expensive one reportedly selling for over $5 million. But even for those in the tax bracket to invest that kind of money in one of these, there’s one big catch: only 90 were ever made. So, is there an alternative? Well, this replica from Vintage Motorcars of California might be the next best option.
