For Sale: 1965 Shelby Cobra in Ft Worth, Texas

Vehicle Description

This 1965 Shelby Cobra Backdraft scorches the tarmac with its aggressive Prowler Orange paint and Wimbledon White racing stripes. The iconic Cobra silhouette, a direct homage to Carroll Shelby's legendary racer, cuts through the air with predatory intent. Chrome side fins and dual roll bars add to its track-ready persona, while 17-inch knockoff wheels wrapped in 235/45ZR17 front and massive 315/35ZR17 rear rubber hint at its cornering prowess. This modern interpretation of a classic keeps the timeless Cobra lines while incorporating subtle updates for enhanced performance.

Inside, tan vinyl bucket seats grip you tight as you grab the floor-mounted shifter of the Tremec TKO500 5-speed manual. No radio here - just you, the road, and the growl of that monstrous V8. The spartan cockpit keeps you focused on what matters: pure, unadulterated speed. A race-inspired battery cut-off switch behind the passenger seat stands ready for track day action.

The 408 Stroker V8, crafted by D&D Performance, gulps air through a single 4-barrel Holley carb and Edelbrock intake. Long tube headers feed side-exit pipes, unleashing a thunderous roar that'd make Carroll Shelby himself grin. Coilover front suspension and rear coil springs keep the rubber planted, while power discs at all corners haul this missile down from speed. With 403 horsepower on tap and only 8,262 miles since built, this Cobra's ready to dominate both street and strip.
