For Sale: 1965 Shelby Cobra in Mesa, Arizona

4351-PHX 1965 SHELBY COBRA 427 BACKDRAFT

Factory-fresh with a mere 74 miles on the odometer, this 1965 Shelby Cobra 427 Backdraft comes finished in deep Indigo Blue with racing-inspired white stripes running from nose to tail. The unmistakable Cobra profile remains exactly as Carroll intended - low-slung, wide-tracked, and built for speed. The aggressive stance features side-exit exhaust pipes, a competition-style roll bar, and 18-inch knock-off wheels fitted with 245/40R18 front and 295/40R18 rear 2024 Nitto 555G2 tires for maximum grip. Special paint protection film applied to the rear quarters and roof area maintains the flawless finish of this brand-new roadster.

The performance-focused black vinyl interior incorporates diamond-stitched pattern work that's both functional and good-looking. Backdraft emblems integrated into the seatbacks verify this car's performance credentials while the matching diamond-stitched door panels create a unified racing-inspired theme. The instrument cluster features authentic racing details including a reversed speedometer, while the classic wooden steering wheel offers direct connection to the road. Power steering and tilt wheel functionality provide excellent control without diluting the pure driving sensation that made these roadsters famous.

Brute force comes from the freshly built 427 stroker V8 that combines Edelbrock E Street aluminum heads, hydraulic roller Comp cam, and an Edelbrock intake topped with a Holley single 4-barrel carburetor. All that muscle flows through a Tremec TKX 5-speed manual transmission to an 8.8 rear end running 3.55 gears. The suspension features independent coilovers for superior handling while four-wheel power disc brakes bring everything to a stop. Long tube headers feed into glasspack mufflers and side-exit exhaust for that signature Cobra growl that announces your arrival before you're even seen.
