If you are looking for a vehicle that is guaranteed to turn heads and make you a bunch of new friends, then there is no better car than this 1965 Shelby Cobra Factory Five Mark III. Painted in a beautiful black with a pair of complementary red racing stripes, this open-top roadster brings all the no-nonsense power and performance of Shebly's original masterpiece, and adds a few extras to make it even more fun to drive.
Inside, we find the traditional no-frills Cobra interior. Dual bucket seats are separated by a big transmission tunnel, topped by a signature reverse-angle shifter. A three-spoke, wood-rimmed steering wheel sits ahead of a pair of gauges, featuring an 8,000 rpm tachometer and quirky-but-correct Shebly-style reversed 180 mph speedometer. A five-pod auxiliary gauge cluster takes up residence center-dash, sharing space with a series of toggle switches and HVAC knobs. Door pockets, racing harnesses, and a driver's roll hoop round out the accoutrements of this speedy Spartan interior.
Under that signature front-hinged hood, we find an incredible 427 cubic-inch overhead valve V-8 engine. Featuring an aesthetically awesome-looking 8-stack intake system, this big block also comes equipped with an MSD ignition, lightweight Edelbrock Performer RPM aluminum cylinder heads, long-tube headers, and, of course, those stellar side pipes. Power is routed through a five-speed manual transmission, which adds a useful overdrive gear compared to Shebly's original car. Fifteen-inch knock-off-style wheels are shod with BFGoodrich tires measuring P235/60R-15 at the front and wider P295/50R-15 at the rear.
