Currently listed for sale on AutoHunter is this 15,998-mile 1965 Factory Five Racing Mk3 Roadster, perhaps the most popular Cobra replica out there. This one is powered by a 514ci V-8 paired with a five-speed TREMEC TKO-600 transmission. Features include chrome roll bars, driver-side mirror, Fikse wheels, Simpson Racing harnesses, and more. Painted Metallic Gray with silver stripes over a black vinyl interior, this Cobra replica is offered by the selling dealer with a clear title.
The silver stripes over the Metallic Gray paint is a modern take on a combination not seen on vintage Cobras, giving this roadster distinction. Other exterior features include chrome roll bars, hood scoop, driver-side chrome mirrors, wing windows, and appropriately placed “Cobra” and “427” badges. A set of chrome 17-inch Fikse wheels is wrapped in staggered-width BFGoodrich g-Force T/A radials — 255/40 up front, 315/35 out back.
The cabin features two vinyl bucket seats. A set of Simpson Racing harnesses keep the driver and passenger safe and secure. Other interior features include rack-and-pinion steering, floor-mounted transmission shifter, three-spoke steering wheel, monogrammed Cobra floor mats, and fire extinguisher.
Instrumentation includes AutoMeter gauges consisting of a 160-mph speedometer, 10,000-rpm tachometer, and readouts for the oil pressure, coolant temperature, air/fuel ratio, voltage, and fuel, plus a track stopwatch. The odometer currently shows 15,998 miles, which is the true mileage according to the title.
The V-8 powering this Cobra replica is an interesting choice. Measuring 514ci, it is part of the 385 series (with the 429 and 460 sharing the same lineage), which was Ford’s beefiest big-block — a worthy successor to the FE-series 427 that was used in vintage Cobras. This one reportedly puts out 625 horsepower via a four-barrel carburetor and headers. Other underhood features include a polished intake manifold, oil cooler, electronic ignition, and polished air cleaner. The entire mechanical setup is connected to a five-speed TREMEC TKO-600 manual.
The undercarriage features a black powder-coated frame, front/rear tubular control arms, Wilwood power disc brakes on all four corners, and a side-mounted dual exhaust system.
