Finished in Gloss Black with Pewter Silver stripes, this beautifully built Backdraft Cobra delivers timeless looks, outstanding craftsmanship, and the kind of driving experience that has made these roadsters legendary among enthusiasts.

Power comes from a Keith Craft-built 408 cubic-inch Windsor V8 producing an impressive 525 horsepower. Paired with a Tremec TKO600 5-speed manual transmission, this Shelby Cobra replica offers crisp shifting, incredible acceleration, and the unmistakable sound of a high-performance Ford small block. Stainless ceramic-coated headers feed polished stainless side pipes with heat shields, creating the aggressive exhaust note every Cobra deserves.

The lightweight Backdraft chassis is engineered to deliver exceptional handling and confidence on the road. Power four-wheel disc brakes provide outstanding stopping performance, and the wide Nitto NT555 G2 tires measure 245/45ZR17 in the front and 315/35ZR17 in the rear, giving this Cobra replica for sale outstanding grip and a muscular stance. Polished 17-inch Shelby-style aluminum wheels complete the classic appearance.

Inside, the black leather bucket seat interior is both purposeful and refined. Black VDO gauges, a MOMO steering wheel, black four-point racing harnesses, and a matching black tonneau cover create a driver-focused cockpit that stays true to the Cobra's racing heritage while remaining comfortable for weekend cruises.

The exterior is finished with many of the details enthusiasts expect from a premium Backdraft Racing build, including dual roll hoops, polished side pipes, and the iconic racing stripe combination that perfectly complements the Gloss Black finish. Every angle reflects the timeless design that has made the 1965 Shelby Cobra one of the most recognizable sports cars ever built.
