Vehicle Description
Performance, style, and heritage come together in this striking
Backdraft RT4B Roadster, built in tribute to the original Essex
Wire race car. It's powered by a Roush 427-IR V8 with stack
electronic fuel injection and a TKX 5-speed manual transmission.
The Roush engine delivers power through a limited-slip 8.8
independent rear end fitted with 3.73 gears.
The car is finished in Wimbledon White with a Raven Black center
stripe and Poppy Red pinstripes. Matching the aggressive look are
18-inch true knock-off wheels and upgraded 335-width tires in the
rear. HID headlights, ceramic-coated headers, side pipes, and an
oil cooler add function and visual impact. Paint protection film
has been applied to the rear fenders.
Inside, you'll find black leather heated seats, 4-point harnesses,
and vintage-style gauges, including a reverse-sweep speedometer.
Cooling and fluid systems have been upgraded with an aluminum
radiator, shroud, remote reservoirs, and an aluminum fuel tank. It
also includes a black tonneau cover and removable vinyl decals with
period-correct racing numbers.
For those looking at a 1965 Shelby Cobra for sale, this Backdraft
Racing Cobra delivers serious performance and standout
presentation. A detailed example that honors one of the most famous
Cobras in history.
