Step into the spirit of pure American muscle with this Backdraft
1965 Shelby Cobra, a true icon reborn with modern precision and
classic flair. This Backdraft Roush 342 Cobra captures the raw soul
of vintage racing legend while delivering a refined, aggressive
presence on the road. Cloaked in a sleek black finish with painted
stripes and a hint of patina on its side pipe heat shields, this
Cobra is a stunning blend of heritage and performance. With only
1,157 miles since built, this is a rare opportunity to claim a
meticulously maintained piece of automotive passion.
The cabin invites you into a driver-focused experience where
vintage style meets functional comfort. Wrapped in clean gray
leather buckets with a subtle racing edge, the interior features
four-point harnesses and a wood steering wheel crowned with the
iconic Cobra insignia. The dash is tidy and purposeful, housing
crisp VDO gauges and a Cobra shifter knob that promises tactile
connection. Racing floor mats protect the carpet, and a battery
cut-off switch discreetly resides behind the passenger seat,
blending safety with style.
Under the hood roars a Roush 342 V8, a powerhouse wrapped in clean
presentation with Roush heads, valve covers, and an Edelbrock
Victor Jr intake feeding a Holley four-barrel carburetor topped by
a Roush air cleaner. The quick-shifting Tremec TKO500 five-speed
manual transmission with a Quick Time bell housing delivers crisp
engagement, while the BMW front independent suspension and rear
divorced coilover setup provide exceptional handling. The rumble
from the baffled straight side pipes commands attention, promising
an exhilarating drive with rack and pinion steering and four-wheel
disc brakes ensuring control.
