Vehicle Description
This 1965 Shelby Cobra 427 Superformance is a serious speed machine
with the best in everything you need in a Cobra. It has all the
right pieces, including a performance-built V8, strong five-speed,
fully-independent suspension, and race-ready style over every
inch.
The Guardsman Blue is a great '65 correct color that has been
professionally applied to show off an excellent gloss and shine. It
sets the tone correctly for a high-quality build that is about
authenticity mixed with the best upgrades for pure driving
pleasure. That's why there are also terrific details, like how the
racing stripes were painted on to give permanence to the race-ready
style. There are more competition-worthy components with the proper
side pipes, quick-jack bumpers, a hood scoop, and a roll hoop.
Plus, those Halibrand-style wheels have real knock-off hubs. It's a
total impression that gets your enthusiast's heart racing for both
its nostalgic appearance and the way it radiates pure power.
The interior is done in black. Everything from the carpeting to the
dash has a look of quality. You'll find thoughtful details,
including low-back bucket seats finished in leather and full racing
harnesses. And it has a terrific authentic feel from the driver's
seat with the wood-rimmed steering wheel, the gearstick correctly
bent forward, and the full set of Smiths gauges with the reversed
speedo in the center. But while some Cobras have been done for some
sunny track day afternoons, you can tell this one has a few of the
right extra to offer you more. The full convertible top, side
curtains, and the heater are the kind of things you want when
you're the kind of person who actually drives yourself to the track
first thing in the morning.
You'll proudly showcase the engine bay that gives you a tidy way to
show off a mean heart. Just like the rest of the car, it has
terrific details, like the Cobra ribbed valve covers and the air
grabber sitting in a box to seal to the fresh air hood scoop. It's
a look of both style and substance that's perfect for a Cobra. The
427 cubic-inch V8 is a true performance motor where the big block
is enhanced with Holley four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock Performer
intake, and MSD ignition. And headers feed those side pipes to let
this mighty V8 exhale freely with an impressive growl. Best of all,
you are in full control of it all with the Tremec five-speed manual
transmission. As you look at the photos of the clean undercarriage,
you'll spot some great features, like fully independent suspension
with adjustable coil-overs. Add in four-wheel disc brakes and brand
new tires, and you have a well-done high-performance package.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual and the paint
formula to recreate the special color. This is the iconic-looking
Cobra that offers enhanced power and control. So don't let this
deal slip away, call today!
