Backdraft Racing Cobra Roadster for sale

Overview of this 1965 Backdraft Racing Cobra Roadster used for sale

Backdraft Racing builds roadsters in the image of the 1960s Shelby Cobra 427, the lightweight British-bodied two-seater that AC Cars and Carroll Shelby fitted with Ford's big-block V8. The firm's cars keep the original proportions, side pipes and flared fenders, and use a modern chassis with independent suspension under the fiberglass body. This example is titled as a 1965 and has covered 873 miles. It is finished in Eminent Pearl White with a yellow and black racing stripe and the GT body option, on 18-inch gloss black wheels with a gloss black roll bar and fuel cap. The dealer lists a 427 V8 with individual throttle bodies and 510 hp, and the photographs show Ford Racing valve covers under the hood. Power reaches the rear wheels through a Tremec TKO600 5-speed manual and a limited-slip differential, with BMW-sourced independent rear suspension and adjustable coilovers. The title is reported clear. The cabin has leather bucket seats with Alcantara inserts and yellow stitching, Sabelt belts and a suede Sabelt steering wheel, Autometer gauges, a carbon-fiber dashboard and a diamond-stitched console. Gulf Coast Motorworks offers this Cobra in Bonita Springs, Florida.
