Classic Car Addict presents this Factory Five Mk Roadster for sale in our Mesa, AZ showroom. Titled as a 1965 Cobra, this Factory Five Roadster is a Shelby-authorized continuation of the original AC-built Cobra series. This Mk Roadster is said to have been constructed in 1997 from the ground-up with a full tubular steel chassis and fiberglass bodywork finished in the signature theme of Racing Red with stripe delete. It features an independent rear suspension, coilovers, four-wheel disc brakes, and a Ford 302 motor paired with a Tremec 5-speed manual gearbox and a limited-slip differential. The car is from a private party in California who only drove the vehicle a very low 4,243 miles. Styled after the iconic Shelby Cobra 427, the fiberglass bodywork is finished in Race Red and features quick-jack bumperettes, a black driver’s roll hoop, wind wings, a hood scoop, and side exhaust pipes. This Roadster rides on Halibrand-style 17” knock-off wheels dressed in Kumho Estrada’s with 245/45/ZR17’s in the front and 315/45/ZR17’s in the rear. The cabin is upholstered in black and includes two bucket seats with multi-point safety harnesses. The dashboard houses toggle switches, and autolite analog instrumentation. Other features include a removable Sparco racing steering wheel and a fire extinguisher mounted beneath the dashboard. The seller recommends the emergency brake lever be adjusted. A Ford Cobra Fuel injected 302 HO motor outfitted with MSD Ignition and distributer, Trick Flow heads, Aluminum radiator and electric fan sends power to the big 315 rear wheels through a Tremec 5-speed manual gearbox and a limited-slip differential.
