Vehicle Description
This is the ideal 1965 Backdraft Shelby Cobra 427 for both show and
go. After all, who doesn't love a shimmering version of a
timelessly attractive color combo? But beneath the surface lies a
fully independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, beefy
six-speed gearbox, and performance-built fuel-injected 418 stroker
motor dyno'd to make 425 horsepower at the rear wheels.
This Cobra has an instant touch of sophistication. After all, black
is the color of intimidation. But when it's this glossy, and paired
with champagne gold racing stripes, there's a lot of style within
its aggression. And of course, this high-luster finish does a
terrific job of highlighting all the rounded panels that make every
enthusiast fall in love instantly. It also helps that Backdraft
offers one of the highest quality bodies in the Cobra industry.
Plus, you're looking at a 2006 build that has averaged under 300
miles annually. That's why the fit and finish on this particular
car is worthy of all the extra scrutiny it's likely to get at
shows. It's set up as an SC, so it has the fender flares, jacking
stubs instead of bumpers, chrome roll hoop, and all the other
fixtures that define the Cobra today. And the Halibrand-style
wheels have the kind of shine that perfectly represents the style
and substance that this car is all about.
The interior is an eye-catching package. After all, most Cobras are
done in black, but this has a distinctive and premium supple tan
leather. And you'll even spot nice details like the Backdraft
racing carpeting and good bottom bolstering to the classic-style
bucket seats. This even comes with a full racing tonneau. The
racing harnesses, a grippy A/C sports steering wheel, toggle
switches, and a dash dominated by gauges are all part of a package
designed to keep you going faster. Plus, there are cool classic
Cobra touches, like the forward-tilted gearstick.
The engine bay has an awesome appearance with a ton of tidy style,
plenty of polish, and the Cobra valve covers. And we just know your
eyes were immediately drawn to those velocity stacks. But while
this looks like a classic racing motor, it's a true modern
powerhouse. This is a professionally built 418 cubic-inch stroker
V8. Not only does it give you a big block displacement in a small
block weight, but it's also a fortified build. It includes an Eagle
forged steel crank, Eagle rods, a Comp Cams camshaft, and Yella
Terra rockers. And below the velocity stacks is really a modern
fuel injection system. Plus, headers are feeding those growling
side pipes. There are also the right supporting components, like an
MSD ignition, an electric fan, March pulleys, and the battery
mounted over the rear axle for good weight distribution. You are in
complete control of the V8's symphony thanks to the Tremec
six-speed manual transmission. On the road or racetrack, you'll
feel the added confidence from the fully independent suspension
borrowed from a BMW M3. Add in four-wheel power disc brakes,
cross-drilled rotors, a limited-slip rear end, and wide sport
tires, and you have the full fun package built for power and
control.
This comes with the dyno sheet that shows this is a 425 RWP
juggernaut. So you know this is your dream Cobra done right. Hurry
