For Sale: 1965 Shelby Cobra in Lithia Springs, Georgia

Vehicle Description

Freshly built in 2021 by TR TEC of South Africa, this 1965 Shelby Cobra 427 Backdraft combines raw muscle with world-class craftsmanship. Gleaming in Eminent Pearl White paint with bold Rosso Competizione stripes slicing through its curves, this roadster drops jaws at every corner. The muscular stance comes alive with 18" knock-off wheels wrapped in sticky 245/45ZR18 front and 295/40ZR18 rear tires that plant this beast firmly to the pavement. Chrome side pipes flank the body, while the driver roll bar adds both safety and style to complete the look that made these cars legendary on both street and track.

German leather in Rosso Red wraps the interior with racing-inspired luxury. The wider seats grip your body through hard corners while the wood steering wheel connects you directly to the front wheels. Black 4-point safety harnesses keep you locked in position when pushing the limits. Every touch point exudes quality - from the red leather dash to the black carpeted center console and special touches like the optional glove box, lowered driver side floor box, and recessed rear wall. The master kill switch sits within easy reach on the center console, ready for track day action.

The monstrous Iconic-built 427 V8 pumps out a staggering 500 horsepower, making this roadster brutally quick by any standard. Modern Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection provides instant throttle response backed by the precision of a Tremec TKX 5-speed manual transmission. The engine bay looks as good as it performs with brushed aluminum valve covers, an aluminum air cleaner, ceramic coated headers, and chrome accessories throughout. MSD ignition delivers reliable spark while the independent coilover suspension front and rear (with BMW rear independent design) keeps all four corners planted when the road gets twisty.
