Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is super excited to
present one of the finest replicas ever produced, this beautiful
Monterey Red 1965 Backdraft Racing Cobra! The Backdraft RT4
Roadster has been extensively developed and refined over many years
as a race proven, high performance sports car. With 60's styling
and the use of a modern in independent suspension, it provides the
ultimate in styling and drivability. It offers lightning quick
performance, sure-footed handling, compliant ride comfort and
outstanding braking ability in a well-rounded package that is
unrivaled for quality and value. Backdraft Racing Inc. was founded
in January 2001 by a couple of Champion LeMan racers, Tony Martin
and Reg Dodd, and their desire for high performance is evident in
the quality of their product. With a passion for racing and cars
the company has evolved considerably over the past 20 years to
establish itself as one of the industry leaders in producing the
ultimate Shelby replica cars. This example was purchased new in Feb
2021 and is powered by a Ford Racing 427CID monster that was
installed by SpeedFanatix of Lake Worth, Florida that's teamed up
to a Tremec TKO 600 5-speed manual transmission, a Ford 8.8''
Independent Rear End, a 3.55 Posi rear end and adjustable
coil-overs on all 4 corners, so it certainly has no issue putting
all that power down on the pavement! These are the epitome of what
classic reproduction Cobra's should be. The interior features a
gorgeous diamond-patterned cream leather upholstery on the bucket
seats along with a color-coordinated dashboard, door panels, and
carpets. Equipment includes an under-dash mounted audio/Bluetooth
controller, high end Hertz speakers, a dashboard-mounted rearview
mirror, a carpeted trunk complete with a JL Audio subwoofer, Sabelt
four-point harnesses, sun visors, wind wings, Backdraft
Racing-branded floor mats, door pockets and the iconic wooden Cobra
steering wheel. When it comes to true craftsmanship and outright
performance, there are very few that come even remotely close to
the exhilarating performance of these Backdraft Cobras!
