Original or not, does it really matter? This 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica, built by Superformance as a 2002 model replicates the same thrill and joy you get from the legendary 1965 Shelby Cobra. Developed by Carroll Shelby, a racing driver, who was surprised by the speed of the AC Ace during the Le Mans race in 1959. He retired from racing after a few years, wanting to build a race car of his own, and this is what he had in mind. A Ford Windsor 221 engine was mounted into an AC Ace chassis shipped from England, and within just eight hours, the legendary Cobra was brought to life. A.k.a ‘The Turd’ as nicknamed by Ken Miles, the Shelby Cobras have been brilliant machines that everyone must at least experience once in their life. This particular model we have today has undergone an engine rebuild on the 427ci V8 engine, clocking less than 5,000 miles as reported by the current owner.
What did the fastest accelerating road car for over 20 years since 1965 have? The coolest ever side exhausts, and this replica has it to original specification. If that is not attention seeking enough, this 1965 Cobra replica is dressed in a bright red exterior with the iconic white stripes, a rare sight as most of these come in a blue hue. The shiny chrome alloy wheels are fitted with new BF Goodrich radial tires as reported by the current owner, which are equipped with some powerful ventilated disc brakes with 4-pot calipers to bring this beast to a halt. The body is made out of hand laid fiberglass panels with steel tube reinforcements in all openings. The muffler and tailpipes are custom made with stainless extensions. Inside the black cockpit, you have the classic wooden steering wheel, long gear stick and some quality Superformance carpets. The speedometer has been newly reinstalled, along with the starter as reported by the current owner. It’s not the most spacious cabin, but with a 427ci V8 engine sitting in front, you will also be smiling behind the wheel.
A Ford Racing 427ci V8 engine that has been balanced and blueprinted breathes under the hood, being recently rebuilt it outputs a staggering amount of power that will propel you from 0 to 60 mph in around 4 seconds. Ensuring maximum power, the engine has been upgraded with Le Mans rods and Dual-Quad Holley 600CFM carburetors. This 1965 Shelby Cobra replica comes with rack and pinion steering along with independent suspension with unequal length A-arms with adjustable coils over telescopic shock absorbers in the front and with fabricated hub carriers and coil over shock absorbers in the rear. The clutch, master cylinder, and battery are all new as reported by the current owner. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a Tremec 5-Speed manual, in true muscle car fashion.

The Cadillac De Ville was introduced in 1958, as a full-size luxury car from America’s top luxury automaker at the time. De Ville means “of the town” in French, meaning that Cadillac intended the De Ville to be the talk of the town. The first generation is the most popular, naturally, thanks to its iconic shape and rear fins. In 1961, the second generation was introduced, with fresh styling and more body styles. Buyers could now pick from a four-door hardtop with four or six windows, a 2-door hardtop, or a 2-door convertible. If you’ve been trying to get your hands on a De Ville, check out this 56,435-mile 1964 Cadillac De Ville Sedan that’s up for sale right now. The current owner reports it to have been restored, hence its pristine appearance.
The fourth-generation Ford Fairlane of the ‘60s offered a happy middle ground for those who wanted a large sedan or coupe but didn’t want to stretch to the levels that the Galaxie offered. Our featured Ford Fairlane has been on the receiving end of some loving restoration work and reports an all-new interior along with other key components. With a 260ci V8 engine, the owner reports a mileage of 47,200 on the odometer.
Say hello to the 1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS. You may be familiar with the name; after all, it’s one of the most iconic cars out there. It was a proper performance car that took the Camaro name to new heights. One of the downsides of this kind of fame is that imitators are aplenty — not all Camaros bore the SS moniker when they left the showroom. However, our featured car is reported to be a true SS. Moreover, it’s undergone a complete restoration to bring it to its current condition.
