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 Terminator 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 Ellingson's a call today at
