Finished in silver with black trim and a striking red and black interior, this Backdraft Cobra has just 4,691 original miles and offers the exhilarating driving experience that has made Cobra replicas among the most sought-after modern performance cars.

Power comes from a 302 cubic-inch V8 equipped with a Holley 4-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock aluminum performance heads.

Inside, the red and black interior features full AutoMeter instrumentation, racing harnesses, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, and even a mounted fire extinguisher, reinforcing the car's competition-inspired personality. Wind wings and tinted visors add both style and comfort, making this 1965 Shelby Cobra enjoyable for longer drives as well.

The exterior is completed with a single roll bar hoop and black 15-inch Halibrand-style wheels wrapped in white-letter BFGoodrich tires measuring 235/60R15 in front and 295/50R15 in the rear. The combination gives this Shelby Cobra for sale the classic stance and aggressive appearance that have made Cobras legendary.
