This incredible 1965 Backdraft Racing Cobra RT4 is the perfect
combination of classic Cobra styling and modern engineering. If
you've ever dreamed of owning one of the most legendary roadsters
of all time, this RT4 delivers in every way-brutal performance,
head-turning looks, and premium build quality. Finished in one of
our absolute favorite color combinations, this Cobra wears Indigo
Blue paint accented by bold white racing stripes, a look that has
become iconic among enthusiasts. The attention to detail is evident
everywhere-from the high-gloss finish to the paint protection film
applied to the nose, fenders, and door tops ($2,300 total),
ensuring the car stays as stunning as the day it was built.
Completing the exterior are classic Cobra details like the Raydot
driver-side mirror ($165) and staggered alloy wheels that perfectly
fill the arches for that aggressive stance. The interior is all
business with a touch of luxury, featuring upgraded RT4 black
leather bucket seats, cam-lock style Sabelt harnesses ($480), and a
full complement of Autometer OEM-style gauges ($1,000) set in a
period-correct dash layout. Every control feels tight and precise,
ready for serious driving. Under the hood sits the crown jewel of
this build-a Ford Racing 427 cubic-inch V8, delivering a
jaw-dropping 535 horsepower the old-school way, through a
carburetor. The exhaust note is pure muscle thanks to
ceramic-coated headers ($360) feeding into polished side pipes that
announce your arrival long before you're seen. Backing the engine
is the upgraded Tremec TKO600 5-speed manual transmission, a
perfect partner for harnessing all that power. An upgraded aluminum
fuel tank ($600) ensures consistent fuel delivery during spirited
driving, while remote brake and clutch reservoirs ($950) make
maintenance simple and clean. With just 1,300 miles from new and
one meticulous owner, this Backdraft Cobra is in like-new condition
and ready for the next enthusiast. Originally sold by well-known
Backdraft dealer Jonathan Motorcars of Edgewater Park, NJ, it's
been lovingly cared for and never abused. If you're looking for the
ultimate road-going Cobra replica-one with the right engine, the
right transmission, and all the right upgrades-this RT4 checks
every box. It's turn-key, sorted, and ready to burn rubber the
second you get behind the wheel. Contact Brian at 352-307-1968 and
