Vehicle Description
The Backdraft Roadster has been extensively developed and refined
over many years as a race proven, high performance sports car. With
60's styling and the use of a modern independent suspension, it
provides the ultimate in styling and drivability. It offers
lightning quick performance, sure-footed handling, ride comfort and
excellent braking ability in a well-rounded package that is
unrivaled for quality. This 1965 Shelby Cobra Backdraft 427 has
been carefully driven less than 200 break in miles since new and is
exceptional in every way.
The fiberglass body is mounted to a reinforced steel box frame and
is finished in Guardsman Blue with Wimbledon White center stripes.
Exterior details include a hood scoop, fender vents, and wind wings
in addition to a single roll hoop, a Raydot-style mirror, a
LeMans-style fuel filler, quick-jack bumperettes, and side-exit
exhaust pipes with perforated heat shields. Real 18-inch knock-off
wheels wrapped with Nitto performance tires look excellent and
compliment the overall stance of the car nicely. Chrome heat
shielding over side pipes shines nicely and is a nice addition to
protect against leg burns. The removable soft top is in wonderful
condition, the German fabric presents well and has a quality feel
to the touch. Side curtains are also included along with a vinyl
tonneau cover. This Cobra has also been optioned with wiper blades.
The 427 badging just above side fender vents lets others know this
machine has able go as well as show.

headers, Cobra air cleaner cover, and Ford Racing-branded valve
covers. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a Tremec TKO
