This 1965 Superformance Cobra MKIII is a stunning, professionally
built Shelby Cobra replica finished in breathtakingly iconic
Lightning Blue and it delivers an absolutely visceral driving
experience! When it comes to Shelby Cobra replicas, Superformance
stands in a league of its own-delivering what is widely considered
the finest Cobra reproduction available today. For this reason,
Superformance is the only manufacturer of Cobras officially
licensed, authorized, and endorsed by Carroll Shelby himself. What
truly sets Superformance apart is that in being the exclusive
builder granted full rights by Shelby to replicate his legendary
1960s race cars, the Superformance Cobras are largely considered
the most correct, authentic representation of a true Shelby Cobra.
Unlike kit cars assembled in garages from salvaged components,
every Superformance Cobra is hand-assembled by skilled craftsmen in
a dedicated factory setting. These cars arrive as fully finished
rolling chassis - complete with show-quality paint, premium
interiors, and fully installed components including independent
front and rear suspension, Wilwood disc brakes, rack-and-pinion
steering, and a limited-slip rear differential. Superformance uses
only new, top-quality parts, ensuring a tight, rattle-free driving
experience that rivals even modern performance cars. From the
leather-trimmed cockpit to the precise handling and race-inspired
engineering, everything about a Superformance Cobra is designed to
deliver the authentic Shelby experience with modern reliability.
There is simply no comparison - Superformance is the gold standard
in Cobra replicas. This particular MKIII Cobra comes to us from
California collectors who took great care of this extraordinary
vehicle. Under the locking hood of this exceptional Superformance
MKIII sits a Dart block 427 cubic inch V8 - the legendary
displacement forever associated with the most fearsome Cobras
Carroll Shelby ever built. The 427 V8 is equipped with Blueprint
aluminum cylinder heads and fed by a Holley electronic fuel
injection system that delivers crisp, reliable throttle response
and easy starting in virtually any condition. Exhaust exits the 427
V8 through a set of side pipes that give this hand-built Cobra its
unmistakable, spine-tingling roar. Backing the mighty 427 V8 is a
Tremec TKO600 5-speed manual transmission that makes this
Superformance Cobra MKIII an absolute blast to drive, putting the
full force of that legendary V8 directly in the driver's hands with
every gear change. This Cobra also benefits from a number of
outstanding upgrades that elevate both the performance and the
driving experience. Four-wheel Wilwood power disc brakes provide
strong, reliable, and confidence-inspiring stopping power befitting
a machine of this performance level. Rack and pinion steering
delivers precise, communicative feedback through every corner while
making low-speed maneuvering at car shows and cruise nights
surprisingly effortless. A limited-slip rear differential ensures
power is delivered to the pavement with maximum efficiency and
control. Riding on a set of 15 inch knock-off wheels wrapped in
Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tires, this Superformance MKIII has an
authentically period-correct look that perfectly complements its
legendary Cobra proportions. The hand-laid factory Superformance
fiberglass body is finished in stunning Lightning Blue paint
accented by painted Wimbledon White stripes - a striking, classic
color combination that captures the spirit of the original 427
Cobra competition cars and turns heads absolutely everywhere this
car goes. A single chrome roll bar and exposed side-pipe exhaust
complete the period-inspired exterior presentation beautifully. The
interior of this 1965 Superformance Cobra MKIII is exactly what one
would expect from the gold standard of Cobra builders - top-notch
in every respect. The low-back bucket seats are finished in black
leather upholstery that has a fantastic high-quality look and feel.
The matching leather-wrapped dashboard, three-spoke woodgrain Cobra
steering wheel, and Smiths instrumentation maintain the authentic
vintage character of the Cobra cockpit while keeping the driver
fully informed with a full complement of period-correct gauges.
Heating and defrost add a welcome measure of everyday usability and
comfort to this purpose-built roadster. This Lightning Blue
Superformance MKIII 427 represents an extraordinary opportunity to
own the finest Cobra replica in the world in one of the most
evocative and classically correct specifications imaginable.
Whether you are buying your very first collector car or adding a
crown jewel to an established collection, this 1965 Superformance
Cobra MKIII would make an absolutely outstanding choice. Give
