The 1965 Shelby Cobra 427 S/C (Semi-Competition) is a two-seater roadster with only 31 S/C models built in 1965.

It was conceived when Carroll Shelby collaborated with AC to create a car powered by a V8 engine.

The Cobra Semi-Competition uses a reworked AC Ace chassis in order to handle the amount of torque produced by the 427cu Ford V8 engine as well as wider fenders and a larger radiator opening by Shelby.

Its handling performance counts as its strongest trait; the Cobra 427 is capable of turning quickly in corners without losing much grip. Top speed is 196 mph (315 km/h).
