This 1965 Superformance MKIII roadster was custom-built in 2015,
designed and constructed by Ted Taormina. It is powered by a 351
Windsor stroker V8 engine expanded to 427ci, producing 650hp and
600 ft/lbs of torque, paired with a Tremec TKO600 5-speed manual
transmission. The induction system features four 48 IDA Weber
carburetors, delivering responsive performance and a distinctive
exhaust note. The exterior is finished in McLaren Volcano Orange
accented by classic Rally stripes, combining modern paint
technology with traditional styling. The cabin is trimmed in black
Alcantara with orange stitching and piping, highlighted by
custom-embroidered Carroll Shelby signatures on the seats. This car
rides on 18-inch Halibrand black wheels wrapped in Toyo R888 tires
for enhanced grip and handling. Built as a modern interpretation of
the iconic roadster, this example showcases Taormina's precision
craftsmanship and attention to performance engineering.
