Our creation of a Factory Five Racing 25th Anniversary Cobra pays homage to Carrol Shelby’s classic 427 Cobra S/C, infused with modern twists. My Cobra Dreams journey began with kit #9772, a project fueled by passion to achieve something new. From the moment it arrived, every bolt tightened and challenge overcome felt like a victory. Powered by a Ford Gen3 Coyote crate engine, Tremec TKX 5-speed, and much more – this build is my heart on wheels, brought to life with the support of my son and an incredible community.
Welcome to Cobra Dreams!
A learning experience
Building this Cobra has been a lifelong dream, a task that has taken over four years to complete amidst life’s ever-changing circumstances and challenges. Throughout the process, I’ve embraced continuous learning, finding new friends and may have acquired a few extra tools. In hindsight, you can never have too many tools.
From crate to concrete
It was truly mind-boggling to receive this kit with a bare frame, gel-coated body, and over 30 boxes of parts. Building a driving car from scratch feels surreal every time I take it out on the road. Click the link above to see all the tips, tricks, oopses, and challenges we faced.
