Build Features
Not a Kit CarStarting off as a Complete Package from Factory Five Racing, this is a no-compromises build from the ground up. All parts were purchased new from Performance Parts Vendors. This is not a Kit Car and no used or remanufactured parts were used in this build.
Old Meets NewThe Shelby 427 Cobra is a legend and an American icon and we wanted to tastefully pay homage to that legacy – maintaining that classic look while bringing the styling up to date. Adding some modern “Restomod” twists to it, this is a Cobra for the modern age.
Modern AdvantagesWhile it may look like an original classic initially on the outside, but as you get closer it becomes evident that this is so much more. Everything underneath the skin will have modern components for performance, safety, comfort, and reliability.
