2015 Factory Five Racing Mk4 Roadster Aluminum Body Cobra 427 S/C Replica

Description

It’s hard to believe Carroll Shelby only built 312 Shelby Cobra 427 supercars, and of those just 31 of the S/C “semi-competition” variant. Such rarity results in genuine 427 Cobras costing a true fortune. But over the years, numerous companies began offering Cobra replicas, some with high quality and great historic accuracy, with others lacking in detail.

The Factory Five Racing Mk4 Roadster is one of the more authentic Cobra 427 S/C reproductions. Hagerty’s Larry Webster when writing for Car and Driver magazine said of the Mk4 Roadster: "Brawny good looks, high quality materials, outta-my-way exhaust note, abundant thrust. A primal brute that will confirm all your mother-in-law's worst suspicions." Factory Five’s four inch tube chassis and full independent suspension is fabricated much like the original, including Koni coil-over shock absorbers. Even the aluminum body is shaped directly from two genuine Cobra 427 cars. Plus, this one is powered by a Ford “FE” 7.0-liter engine much like Shelby’s Cobras used. Original-style details abound such as reproduction Talbot mirrors and Halibrand-style wheels, offering the Cobra 427 S/C experience - at a fraction of the price.
