Eligible Everywhere: 1957 AC Aceca with FIA logbook

This 1957 AC Aceca is a find that’s met us with mixed emotions. It was for sale (from what we recall, 6-7 years ago) for $44,000 here, but we missed it then! We’ve often looked for this exact car to come back on the market and now it has, but the values of Aceca’s have [...]

Lowest price we’ve seen: 2000 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R

If you’re not familar with the 2000 Mustang Cobra R, it’s probably because they only built 300 of them. We featured one a while back, which sold in a matter of days, you can check it out here with 8k miles. This one has 24k, but it’s also much cheaper, with an asking price of [...]

All-Aluminum: Kirkham Motorsports KMP 357

Kirkham Motorsports makes some of the best Shelby Cobra reproductions in the world. If you’ve never heard of them, AutoWeek did a great article on Kirkham in 1996.

Reasonably Priced: 2004 Factory Five Racing Cobra Daytona Couple – Type 65

With only 6 Shelby Daytona Coupes ever built and prices approaching 8 digits it’s not likely we’ll be seeing one in our near future. But, for a similar driving experience, the guys at Factory Five Racing have developed the “Type 65.” If you don’t know FFR, they’re the ones who revolutionized the kit-car market a [...]

Real Deal: 1966 Shelby Mustang SFM6S770

We recently posted a 1966 Shelby G.T.350 “Tribute” that was a very nice car and sold rather quickly. This is the car that “Tribute” was based on, a real ’66 Shelby. These cars were built by Carroll Shelby to compete with the Europeans, both on and off the track; if you don’t believe that was [...]

Arrest-Me Red: 1985 AC AutoKraft Cobra

We’re not sure but we think the term “Arrest-Me Red” came about specifically for this car. Nothing screams speed like a Cobra: real, fake, continuation, or otherwise. The AutoKraft Cobra, to many is the first real “continuation” Cobra, originally filling a space that has now been over taken by the Shelby CSX4000, 6000, 7000 and [...]

Rare Shelby: 289 Cobra CSX2557

After spending this weekend at the Monterey Historics we had to post this Shelby.  Watching these cars dice it up with the GT350′s, R-Model’s and Corvette’s was a real treat, besides, any Cobra holds a special place for us.  We’d like to see this one get back on the track with some of its well run siblings.
