There are several major cobra car manufactures that put out outstanding Shelby Cobra replica’s. I will be covering each and every one of them to give you choices when thinking about getting your own Cobra.
In my search for everything Shelby Cobra and Mustang I came across “Factory Five”. They are a Cobra replica builder. I sent away for information ( which came fast ) and was sent a packet of beautiful brochures and tech sheets. I got a wealth of history and facts about the Cobra legacy. Well worth reading just from a historical point of view.
Factory Five has been around since 1995 and produce two replica’s of the Cobra family. The 289 and 427 roadsters and the Type 65 Coupe. The lesser know coupe is a remake of the six hand build that captured the 1965 FIA World Championship for the U.S. They were built on a 289 AC chassis. As well as the cobra’s Factory Five makes a “33 Hotrod” and the GTM Supercar.
The package includes booklets on:
- Factory Five “33 Hot Rod”.
- Factory Five “GTM Supercar”
- Factory Five “MK4 Roadster”
- Factory Five “Type 65 Coupe”
Articles from “Car and Driver”, “Automobile”, and “Road and Track” are also included. They also send a professionally produced DVD on the cars and the quality of their materials. They also give a tour of their very modern manufacturing plant. It was a fun to watch video. Their site is www.factoryfive.com
