Vehicle Description
This 1965 Shelby Cobra from Backdraft Racing is everything you
want. After all, the exterior combines shining paint with a
race-ready attitude. And beneath the surface lies a fully
independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, beefy five-speed
gearbox, and Roush performance-built 550hp V8.
The deep Indigo Blue with gray painted stripes is an instant
attention-grabber. It has a hint of metallic element and a deep
luster that makes it a hit every time it's parked where the
sunshine can find these sleek curves. The color and gloss work
particularly well complementing the bright elements like the trim
around the lights, hood rivets, flip-up gas cap, roll hoop, and the
imposing side pipes. Those jack bumpers and Halibrand-style
knock-off wheels look like they're ready for competition. And this
race-ready style is only heightened by the sponsor decals and race
number cleanly applied to the fenders.
A gray interior is a rare sight on a Cobra, and it nicely
complements the exterior stripes. And because there's less than
5,300 miles on the car, there was barely any time to even put a
crease in the leather bucket seats. A good Cobra like this gets the
details right for driving, like good bolstering in the seats,
racing harnesses, a grippy sports steering wheel, and a gearstick
right where you want to put your right hand. Plus, the dash is
dominated by your gauges. They're all easy to see, including the
large VDO speedo prominently in the center.
Sure, the engine bay has that ideal shiny appearance that will
certainly attract crowds... but this is a Cobra, and its primary
mission is to be the fastest sports car around. That's why beneath
the flash is the substance of a stout Roush 427R-600 V8. It has
right performance pieces, including a Holley four-barrel
carburetor, Edelbrock Performer intake, MSD ignition, and headers
to feed the growling side pipes. The full package is rated at 550
horsepower, and we have the dyno sheet to prove it! All this power
is only at its best when you have the right components to control
it. That's why you get a Tremec TKO600 five-speed manual. On the
road or racetrack, you'll instantly feel the confidence the stout
frame and fully independent sports suspension gives you. Plus,
there's superior control with the modern grip of the Goodyear Eagle
F1 tires that are supported by four-wheel disc brakes.
Not only does the sale come with the dyno sheet, but also the
manual and buildsheet from Backdraft. This is the fresh and mean
Cobra with a cool attitude, so don't miss your chance at a pure
sports car experience. Call today!!!
