Vehicle Description
4523-TPA 1965 SHELBY COBRA BACKDRAFT
When you lay eyes on this 1965 Shelby Cobra Backdraft, its Candy
Brandywine skin dazzles under the sun, complemented by crisp white
stripes that run the length of its classic roadster body. It's an
icon, reborn with a flair that demands attention. Clad in PPG
tri-coat Volcanic red paint, valued at a cool $8,500, it has a
shine that's hard to miss, even on the cloudiest of days. This
Cobra sits proudly on 15" Shelby Cobra rims, the front tires
measuring 235/60R15 and the rear a wider 295/50R15, ensuring a
stance that's as aggressive as its namesake. The side pipes, chrome
roll bar, and sharp exterior chrome bumper accentuate its racing
pedigree, making it a spectacle of engineering and design
brilliance.
Inside this masterpiece, the story continues with an interior
that's both luxurious and race-ready. Black leather bucket seats,
adorned with contrast stitching, cradle you in comfort. The carbon
fiber dash houses Autometer gauges, including a reversed
speedometer, paying homage to the Cobra's racing traditions while
embracing modernity. A woodgrain Shelby steering wheel offers a
tactile connection to the road, and the Sony AM/FM CD player radio
with Bluetooth capability ensures that the soundtrack to your
journey is always at your fingertips. Crow 4 point harness racing
seat belts and a neatly placed fire extinguisher between the seats
underscore the car's racing DNA, blending safety with style.
Underneath its stunning exterior lies a beast waiting to be
unleashed. The 427 stroker V8 engine, a masterpiece of engineering,
delivers power that's both raw and refined. Fuel is fed through a
Holley 750 carburetor sitting atop a high-rise Edelbrock RPM Chrome
plated intake, all sparked to life by a Billet MSD distributor and
coil pack. Power is transmitted through a Tremec TKO600 5-speed
manual transmission, complemented by a McLeod clutch assembly,
ensuring every shift is as smooth as silk. The roar from the side
pipes is music to any gearhead's ears, a symphony produced by long
tube headers. The fully independent suspension, a hallmark of the
Backdraft build, guarantees a ride that's as engaging as it is
smooth, promising an experience that's unforgettable.
