For Sale: 1965 Superformance Cobra in O'Fallon, Illinois

Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to offer this Superformance 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica. "Hey little Cobra don't you know you're gonna shut 'em down." (The Rip Chords 1963). In the early 1960s when Carroll Shelby took a British AC Ace and shoved an American V8 under the hood not only did it put Ferrari on notice, it took the Automotive world by storm. On the track and on the street, nothing could touch a Shelby Cobra. Original production Cobra's are very hard to come by and can run deep into the the six figures or even higher. Of the builders creating Cobra replica's today, Superformance is the only one licensed by Shelby automotive -https://www.superformance.com/factory-models/mkiii. Since 1996, Superformance has produced only a very limited number of Cobra's and maintain their reputation for quality and being most like the original production models. This '65 SC MKIII has been in the possession of it's current owner since 2001. Before bringing the car to Gateway, the RDI 351w powerplant was freshened up and now produces just shy of 500hp. That may not be in the 600-700hp range of some of today's supercars, but this Cobra tips the scales at only 2500lbs making it scary fast. You won't find frivolous man card revoking creature comforts like Nav, a back up camera, traction control, or parking assist here. You get a steering wheel, a gear shifter for your Tremec 5-speed, and a seat with side pipes spitting fire in your ear drums telling you to be a man! New Cooper Cobra tires were recently installed and an alignment performed making this beast road ready. Included with the sale are the top, side curtains, tonneau cover and a full car cover. You'll find this bad boy sitting on the main showroom floor of our Tampa store.
