For Sale: 1965 Shelby Cobra in Lithia Springs, Georgia

Vehicle Description

Among the rarest configurations you'll find, automatic transmission Cobras make up only a tiny percentage of these iconic roadsters. Emerald Green paint with tan stripes gives this 1965 Shelby Cobra West Coast a distinct look that separates it from typical replicas. The exterior features aluminum mirrors complementing the sleek lines, while a double-width roll bar adds both structural support and visual interest. The wheels measure 15" in front and 16" in rear, wrapped with 255/60R15 front and 295/50R16 rear tires creating a perfect stance that balances aesthetics with traction.

Saddle brown vinyl covers the interior surfaces, creating a rich contrast against the green exterior. The bucket seats provide excellent support during cornering while maintaining a period-correct appearance. A tilt wheel allows drivers of various heights to find their ideal position. The AM/FM CD player with cassette capability pushes audio through door-mounted speakers for quality sound. Power steering reduces effort during parking maneuvers and tight corners. The trunk area houses the battery for better weight distribution and cleaner engine bay aesthetics.

The 460 V8 engine offers substantial power for this lightweight roadster. An Edelbrock carburetor and intake manifold optimize fuel delivery, while an aluminum radiator with dual electric fans maintains optimal operating temperatures. The C6 3-speed automatic transmission handles power transfer with ease, feeding into a sturdy 9" rear axle. Suspension components include adjustable coilovers and tubular control arms up front, with coil springs, shocks and trailing arms in the rear. Four-wheel disc brakes provide excellent stopping capability, and side pipes with long tube manifolds produce a signature exhaust note.
