Vehicle Original VIN : F5R1009412RD
Factory Five Cobras not only capture the look of the world's favorite Anglo-American hybrid, but they were clever enough to build a car that takes advantage of the world's biggest supply of aftermarket performance. With a stout 363 V8 Dart block under the hood, a Tremec 5-speed manual handling the shifts, and a race-grade sport suspension underneath, this is a very formidable, recently built roadster that's also reliable enough to drive every day.


You know the old line about bright colors being very difficult finishes to perfect? It's true, and the guys who built this car a mere 223 miles ago went the extra mile to make sure there were no disappointments on this beauty. With Toyota Summer Rain paint borrowed from the Prius palette, there's no disguising the Cobra shape, but this one takes on an altogether more seductive persona than many of its siblings. It's as if the light blue paint lulls you into a sense of ease, only to be jolted back to life with the first cackle from the blacked-out side pipes. With that being said, it also looks aggressive while still managing to feel light-hearted, and the fact that they resisted adding any stripes means the builders were really proud of this paint job – as they should be. Factory Five's fiberglass is better than most, so the car fits together very well as it is, but when put in the hands of a professional that knows how to lay down a light color as smooth and shiny as this, it ends up looking like a million bucks. Many of the original Cobra design cues are there, from the jacking stubs fore and aft to the aforementioned black side pipes to the matching black roll bars behind the driver, proving once again that no car has survived the passage of history better than the Shelby Cobra. This is not a purist's car, of course, but if you want an awesome-looking snake that moves even better than it looks (which is saying something on a show car like this), this is your car.


It's quite obvious that the intent was to build this car to be as happy on the track as on the street, and the comfortable low-back bucket seats seem to bear this out. Fitted with Simpson racing harnesses for both driver and passenger, you feel bolted directly to the car and can feel every move it makes in the seat of your pants. Black carpets help with heat control, but like most Cobras it's very bare bones in the best sense of the word inside. A stylish black vinyl-wrapped dashboard that looks like it was transplanted from an f-16 houses several modern black-face gauges and switches (check out the second speedometer in front of the passenger, likely installed to playfully toy with any nervous riders), and the thick, leather-rimmed Factory 5 steering wheel feels great in the hands of any white-knuckled driver, adorned with a cool horn cap in the center. A Tremec short shifter manages five gears instead of four, and it's nice to see authentic little details like the leather check straps on the doors and simple latch hardware. An Optima gel-cell battery was relocated to the trunk but takes up no extra storage space, so you could easily stow away a day bag or two for your next Hot Rod Power Tour.


While a heavy 427 scores cool conversation points, if you're going to actually drive your Cobra a Dart 363 shortblock built out from the venerable 302 is going to deliver a lot more fun per cubic inch. Keith Craft Performance decked it out with all the latest and greatest upgrades, from the blacked-out Edelbrock intake, aluminum heads, and a full MSD ignition, this stout small block grunts out very impressive horsepower, and the motor is incredibly responsive up and down the throttle. And thanks to a recent build that's barely broken this puppy in, it starts instantly and runs like a scalded dog regardless of ambient conditions. Blacked-out Cobra valve covers and a chrome air cleaner add a nostalgic touch, and if you've been under the hood of a built-up Mustang, you'll feel right at home here. Backed by a Tremec 5-speed gearbox and 8.8-inch independent rear end with a 3.55 gear ratio, it has a gear for every occasion, from pulling a hole-shot to cruising on the highway. The tubular frame is beautifully finished, and with sporty rack-and-pinion steering, 4-wheel disc brakes, and a set of coil-over shocks all around, handling is far sharper than anything with a heavy big block could be. Gorgeous Halibrand-style 17-ich wheels look great and carry 245/45/17 front and 275/40/17 rear Nitto performance radials.


So, if it's a Cobra you seek, this very drivable and very fast Factory Five roadster does everything quite well. Call today!

General Terms

Terms & Conditions

We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).

FEES: A documentation fee of $199 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.

AVAILABILITY: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.

CONTACT: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.

INSPECTION: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.

PAYMENT: We require a non-refundable $500 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers. SHIPPING: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.

DRIVE IT HOME: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.

DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.

VIN VERIFICATION: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.

MILEAGES: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.

CONDITION: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.

AS-IS: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!

DISCLAIMER: This site and all advertising information may be updated without notice whenever new information is obtained and may contain mistakes and inaccuracies. Information is provided to the best of our knowledge and we make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, truth, or reliability of such information. We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent. All vehicles are sold AS-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.

Fees and Taxes

Sales tax, title, license fee, registration fee, dealer documentary fee, finance charges, emission testing fees, and compliance fees are additional to the advertised price. Vehicle is listed locally, we reserve the right to end the auction at any time.
