Arguably, the best and worst thing about the Shelby Cobra is that they just didn’t produce enough of them. Original cars, designed by AC of the UK and enhanced by Shelby America, are so sought after today that their pricing is now in the stratosphere. Thankfully, there are some dedicated replica manufacturers out there that will get you as close to the original at a fraction of the cost. In this case, say hello to the 1965 Shelby Cobra Backdraft Racing. Backdraft Racing is renowned for its Cobra reproductions, and this car is a beauty. In addition to its stunning looks, capped off with a Steel Grey exterior, you’ll find some choice elements in play, too. Under the hood lies a 351ci V8 engine that has been breathed upon with parts from Edelbrock and Holley. You get independent coilover suspension and some nice wheels. Plus, an interior to die for. With a reported 3,000 miles on the clock, this Shelby Cobra is exceedingly tempting.
The Shelby Cobra's design is one of the most recognizable American sports cars made to date. This replica 1965 Shelby Cobra by Backdraft Racing captures this timeless shape. It’s painted Steel Grey with white racing stripes over the top. The car sits on 18-inch knock-off-style aluminum wheels. You’ll also notice Quick-Jack bumpers, a polished roll bar, and polished stainless steel side pipes. Inside, you’ll find bucket seats trimmed in red leather. The driver is offered control via a wood and polished aluminum steering wheel, a polished floor shifter, and aluminum pedals. You’ll find a bank of AutoMeter gauges on the dashboard to keep track of engine vital, too.
Under the hood of this 1965 Shelby Cobra Backdraft Racing lies a suitably potent engine: a 351ci V8 engine.

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.
