1965 Backdraft Cobra

1965 Backdraft Racing RT4 Roadster with 427 V8 and Only 66 Test Miles

This stunning Backdraft Cobra delivers the timeless look of the legendary Shelby Cobra, combined with modern engineering and brand-new condition. Finished in beautiful Tour De France Blue over a rich brown interior, this freshly built roadster has only 66 test miles and is ready to be enjoyed on the street, at local cruises, or even on track days.

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 iconic sports cars ever built. A Ford Super 8.8 rear end equipped with 3.55 gears puts the power to the pavement while offering an excellent balance of acceleration and highway cruising capability.

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

The Tobacco interior complements the exterior beautifully and features Sabelt seatbelts, an optional heater, and a glovebox for added comfort and practicality. Additional details, including a driver's side mirror, wind wings, and sun visors, make this 1965 Shelby Cobra enjoyable for longer drives as well.

The exterior is finished with many of the classic 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 for sale that perfectly blends vintage styling with modern performance and reliability.

For enthusiasts searching for a 1965 Shelby Cobra for sale, this Backdraft Cobra offers exceptional craftsmanship, brand-new condition, and the unforgettable experience that only a big-block Cobra can deliver.
