1965 Shelby Cobra 427

Why This Car Is Special

The name Shelby elicits shivers from the competition on the tracks back in the 1960's, and still does today. But they also command a million-dollar price.

Now you can have a later model version of a Cobra like we have at Skyway Classics. It is a 1965 Shelby Cobra built with a High-performance Ford big block 460 cubic inch big block engine.

Mechanical

This Cobra is powered by a high-performance Ford 460 cubic inch big block engine with an 11 to 1 compression ratio but can still run on Super Unleaded pump gas. It has many go-fast goodies including a chrome aluminum intake, Holley Performance carb and fuel pump, Ford Cobra chrome valve covers. Aftermarket distributor and spark plug wires, Cobra black and silver finned air cleaner, headers and enormous black side-pipes, a 3200 stall speed torque converter, and a Ford automatic overdrive four speed w/ B/M shifter transmission with all that power going to the pavement via a Currie Positrac rear end with 3 .70 gears.

The chassis has more torsion strength than a round tube chassis and is fully adjustable with custom-engineered, tubular-steel A-arms with coil-over shocks for the front suspension, a 4-Link rear suspension with coil-over shocks, red Wildwood disc brakes on both the front and back, and it rides on wide American mag wheels and black sidewall performance tires.

Interior

The interior looks brand new and when you ease yourself down into the custom designed grey bucket seats you will find that they are very comfortable for long drives and you will never want to get out.

You will find when you sit down inside our car, you have plenty of legroom to stretch out your legs (even if you are over 6' tall), rather than being uncomfortable and sitting halfway out of the car like most other Cobra replicas.

You will also admire the full wrap around interior that has an upholstered tunnel and door panels, VDO gauges, billet tilt steering column with a GT sport steering wheel, 3" wide racing seat belts, double chrome roll bars, chrome floor shifter, grey carpet, and much more.

Exterior

The beautiful Cobra has the blue paint with painted silver metallic stripes covering the iconic Cobra body with flared fenders that give it that aggressive stance. The other highlights include the Shelby hood scoop, side vents, chrome trim, and 427 Shelby Cobra badging.
