1965 Backdraft Cobra

1965 Backdraft Cobra with 427 V8 and Only 66 Test Miles

This stunning 1965 Backdraft Cobra delivers the iconic styling of the legendary Shelby Cobra with the performance, reliability, and drivability of a modern sports car. Finished in classic Guardsman Blue with Wimbledon White stripes, this freshly built roadster has only 66 test miles and is ready to be enjoyed immediately with no waiting period for a custom build!

Power comes from a potent 427 cubic-inch V8 paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, delivering the raw performance and driver involvement that have made the Cobra one of the most celebrated sports cars ever created. A Ford Super 8.8 rear end equipped with 3.55 gears provides an excellent balance of acceleration and highway cruising capability, making this Shelby Cobra replica equally comfortable on spirited drives or longer road trips.

Unlike the original 1960s Cobras, this Backdraft Cobra benefits from thoroughly modern chassis engineering. A multi-link independent rear suspension, McPherson strut front suspension, and coilovers at all four corners provide exceptional handling and ride quality. Vented disc brakes and the lightweight roadster design further enhance the driving experience, creating a Cobra replica that performs every bit as impressively as it looks.

The black interior features Sabelt seatbelts, along with optional comforts such as a heater and a glovebox. Additional details such as the driver's side mirror, wind wings, and sun visors make this 1965 Shelby Cobra practical and enjoyable for longer drives.

The exterior is finished with many of the details enthusiasts love, including ceramic-coated headers, 18-inch knock-off wheels, a chrome roll bar, and the signature Le Mans-style fuel filler. The result is a Shelby Cobra that perfectly captures the spirit of the original while offering modern reliability and refinement.
