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 IV 427. Painted in a beautiful Lexus Indigo Blue with a pair of complementary silver racing stripes, this open-top roadster has just 2001 miles on it since it was built and brings all the no-nonsense power and performance of Shelby'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 padded steering wheel is assisted by a KRC power steering pump, which operates a power rack-and-pinion setup. Just ahead of that wheel sits a pair of gauges, featuring an 8,000-rpm tachometer and a quirky-but-correct Shelby-style reversed 180-mph speedometer. A five-pod Speed Hut auxiliary gauge cluster takes up residence center-dash. Door pockets, Simpson racing harnesses, and a chrome 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 that began life as a 351 Windsor, bored and stroked to the iconic displacement. Featuring an aesthetically awesome-looking 8-stack FAST EFI intake system, this Dart SHP block is outfitted with Scat H-beam rods, Mahale forged pistons, and a roller-rocker setup. Equipped with an MSD ignition, lightweight RHS aluminum cylinder heads, long-tube headers, and, of course, those stellar side pipes. Power is routed through a Tremec TKO600 five-speed manual transmission, Quicktime bell housing, and a hydraulic Kevlar clutch, which adds a useful overdrive gear compared to Shelby's original car. Seventeen-inch Halibrand-style wheels are shod with Kumho tires measuring 255/40ZR-17 at the front and massive 315/35ZR-17 at the rear.
