Vehicle Description
This 1965 Shelby Cobra Superformance has a big power under the
hood, a strong five-speed, and a fully-independent sports
suspension. But what is likely going to impress you the most is the
sleek and shining style you get on this one-owner classic. So while
it has the performance to live up to the legend, it also has the
style to take center stage.
Superformance knows how to build correct Cobras with track-ready
style. That's why this one has race-ready components, like the
quick jack bumpers, stainless steel roll hoop, proper side pipes,
and Halibrand-style wheels with proper knock-off hubs. But even if
the components can dominate the speedway, the overall appearance of
this one is more concours than racecourse. The blue paint has a
smooth and sleek shine that comes from an investment in quality and
taking the time to properly respect it. And everything from the fit
of the panels to the polish of the wheels gives this a detailed
attraction. This Cobra was built in 2003, has under 40k miles on
it, and has been under the care of the same owner the whole time.
This kind of history is how you get such a well-presented car. And
when someone is going to keep one for themselves, you also get nice
personal details. That's why this has the rarely seen side curtains
and soft top package as well as a racing tonneau. Plus, the racing
stripes are done in a light silver to give you a similar look to
the classic white, but with an added radiance in the sunshine.
Just like the exterior, the interior is attractive for being clean,
correct, and gives the right updates to vintage details. For
example, you have classic low-back bucket seats but now they have
better padding and modern RJS racing harnesses. The gearstick is
correctly bent forward, you have a wood-rimmed AC sports steering
wheel, and there's a full set of Smiths gauges with the reversed
speedo in the center. So no matter if you are hammering down a
straightaway or just going to the car show, the experience from the
driver's seat is truly authentic.
Under the hood is Ford's mighty 460 cubic-inch V8. More than just a
big displacement, this is built with the right performance pieces,
like Edelbrock Performer RPM heads, an aluminum intake, and a fresh
air intake to feed cool air to the Holley four-barrel carburetor.
This is also supported by the right pieces, like steel braided
lines, dual electric fans, and an MSD distributor. And the
header-fed side pipes love to announce this performance build. All
this power is at your command thanks to the Tremec TKO five-speed
manual transmission. Superformance builds a strong chassis, and on
top of that, they added exactly what you want in an all-around
performance driver. This includes a fully independent suspension,
sway bars front & rear, rack & pinion steering, and four-wheel disc
brakes.
Complete with maintenance records, this is the one-owner Cobra
build that is the best mix of style and substance. Don't miss this
