Vehicle Description
The 1965 Shelby Cobra is an iconic symbol of American automotive
engineering, and now, you have the chance to own a meticulously
crafted replica that captures the essence and thrill of the
original. This Backdraft Roadster is not just a car; it's a
masterpiece of performance and design, offering an exhilarating
driving experience with a classic, vintage charm.
This particular Cobra replica, built in 2009 by Vintage
Motorsports, pays homage to the legendary Terlingua Racing Team
with removable vinyl decals that highlight its racing pedigree.
Beneath its stunning exterior lies a powerhouse: a 1968 302 engine
stroked to 331 cubic inches, producing an impressive 409
horsepower. The engine's performance is thoroughly documented with
an included dyno report, ensuring you can appreciate every ounce of
its raw power.
Mated to this formidable engine is a 5-speed Tremec manual
transmission, delivering smooth, precise shifts that make every
drive a true adventure. With only 1,356 original miles on the
build, this vehicle remains in pristine condition, having been
meticulously cared for by its single owner since completion.
The driving experience is further enhanced by its advanced 4-wheel
independent suspension and front & rear coil suspension, providing
superior handling and ride quality. The 4-wheel power disc brakes
ensure you can harness all that power with confidence and control.
The attention to detail continues inside the cockpit, featuring VDO
gauges that offer precise and reliable readouts, allowing you to
monitor the car's performance effortlessly.
Aesthetically, the Cobra doesn't disappoint. The ceramic-coated
headers and side pipes not only look stunning but also enhance the
vehicle's performance and longevity. Safety is paramount, with a
driver-side roll bar and seatbelt harness ensuring peace of mind
while you unleash the car's potential. For those moments when you
need to protect the interior, a cockpit cover is included.
The documentation accompanying this Cobra replica is as impressive
as the car itself. An original build/manual binder is included,
providing a comprehensive history and technical details of the
vehicle. Titled as a 2009 Cobra, it holds a clean New Jersey title
and is emission exempt in NJ, making ownership straightforward and
hassle-free.
In summary, this 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica is more than just a nod
to a bygone era; it's a celebration of automotive excellence.
Whether you're a collector, a racing enthusiast, or someone who
simply appreciates the artistry of a well-built car, this Backdraft
Roadster offers an unparalleled opportunity to own a piece of
automotive history. Don't miss your chance to experience the
perfect blend of vintage aesthetics and modern performance.
