Vehicle Description
This 1965 Shelby Cobra Superformance has the classic look that will
always make you stop and stare. But it's the performance-built V8
and all the right speedy components that make this roadster live up
to its track-burning legacy.
This one makes the exact right first impression. After all, blue
with white racing stripes is an American racing legend.
Superformance is the gold standard in the Cobra business, and so
the whole body has well-done look with plenty of aggressive flair
in the fenders. Plus, you have all the right details finished in
steel, like the quick-jack bumpers, quick fill fuel cap, and
polished roll hoop. And we know you took immediate notice of the
Halibrand-style wheels with genuine knock-off hubs.
The interior absolutely gets the Shelby attitude right. It keeps
all the traditional components in place, including the low-back
bucket seats, forward curved gearshift, and racing seatbelts.
You'll love the grippy three spoke sports steering wheel, and the
full Smiths gauge package is AC Cobra correct, right down to the
reverse position speedometer. Plus, there are some thoughtful
details you don't get in other Cobras, like the folding roof with
side curtains. And there's also a heater to keep you warm when you
want to get to the track day at dawn.
The engine bay has the right Cobra look with the valve covers and
long air topper. But what you'll really love is the power this is
making. It's a 351 cubic-inch V8 that the consignor states has been
stroked to 392ci. It has the right go-fast goodies like a Holley
four-barrel carburetor, raised aluminum intake, and headers that
feed those growling side pipes. This V8 does a great job of moving
the lightweight fiberglass body, and you can stay in the power band
with ease thanks to the five-speed manual transmission. Of course,
all this superior power is nothing without control. That's why this
Cobra comes with a fully independent suspension with adjustable
coil overs at each corner. It's backed up by a limited slip rear
end, sway bars, and a four-wheel power disc brake package.
Complete with owner's manual, this has the look, features, and
power you want. So when a quality build like this is up for grabs,
you know you need to act fast. Call now!
