1965 Backdraft Cobra

The Gentleman's Cobra with Roush 427 Power

This 1965 Backdraft Cobra is a refined take on the iconic Shelby Cobra look, with serious performance beneath its understated style. Powered by a Roush 427R V8 producing 550 horsepower and equipped with a TKX 5-speed manual transmission, this Cobra replica is as capable as it is clean.

Finished in Brittany Blue with stripe delete, hood scoop delete, roll bar delete, and side pipe delete, this build is purposefully subtle. It features chrome bumper overriders, a custom undercar exhaust that exits at the rear, and 18-inch Halibrand-style wheels with optional polished lips.

Inside, the Dove leather bucket seats feature gray stitching, offering comfort, along with a glove box, heater, and heated seats. AutoMeter Classic gauges feature a reverse-counting speedometer, while rack-and-pinion steering and power four-wheel disc brakes provide control in your hands. The 8.8 independent rear suspension, paired with 3.55 gears, puts the power down with confidence.
