Dyno Sheet SELLER REMARKS We know that Cobra replica quality can be all over the map. but we invite you to examine this Backdraft Racing Cobra up close and personal. because it's one of the finest we've ever featured. Better still. it's got some unusual features. including a lovely light blue paint job that really stands out. and with 427 cubic inches under the hood. it backs up the look with plenty of go power. It's Gulf Blue. a well-known and highly respected racing color from the period. and it looks pretty darned good on the Cobra. In truth. it's always nice to see non-traditional but period-correct colors on the replicas. suggesting that the guy who built it knew exactly what he was doing rather than just going with what he thought was pretty. If you know the Backdraft cars. you know that their workmanship is well-regarded in the Cobra industry and the fit and finish on this particular car is worthy of all the extra scrutiny it's likely to get at shows. White stripes are. of course. part of the package. but look closely and you'll see that there's a black outline that really makes the stripes pop. Just look at the overhead shot and tell me you don't love the look! It's set up as an SC. so it has the flares. the jacking stubs instead of bumpers. a chrome roll hoop. and all the other fixtures that define the Cobra today. And since this one was built to drive. there's 3M protective tape on the rear fenders to prevent chips and trick polished heat shields on the side pipes that might save your pants next time. The interior is basic Cobra: wrap-around low back buckets. black leather. and minimal frills. However. for the business of driving. there are few better places to work. A fat leather-wrapped steering wheel communicates the front wheels' activities directly to you palms and even the shifter for the 5-speed gearbox has a slight forward cant to replicate the look of the original 4-speed. Attractive VDO gauges monitor all the important stuff and flip-up racing style toggle switches are just plain fun. No radio. no heat. nothing that'll slow it down. just pure performance that's in almost new condition. The trunk is reasonably spacious for tools and spares for your track day. and it does include a full tonneau cover that's probably a must-have for any Anglo 2-seater. Tilt the hood forward and you'll find a legitimate 427 cubic inches of Jack Roush built muscle. neatly packaged in a lightweight small block package. A big Holley double pumper feeds an Edelbrock intake and the Roush emblems are proudly displayed on the retro-looking air cleaner and fabricated aluminum valve covers. It cackles through the side pipes like a machine that makes a real-world 530 horsepower and as you ease out the clutch in first hear. you'll understand why these cars remain so insanely popular year after year; the performance is explosive! The unique suspension includes a giant front sway bar and rack-and-pinion steering. and out back there's a BMW independent setup that's agile yet supple. making this a Cobra you could use every day. Power 4-wheel disc brakes are powerful enough to dislodge the fillings in your teeth and hide behind 17-inch Halibrand-style wheels that are absolutely perfect for a Cobra like this. Rubber is from Goodyear. measuring 235/45/17 in front and a giant 315/35/17 out back. Beautifully built. insanely fast. and supremely competent in the corners. this is the Cobra we all wish for when we entertain the thoughts of building our own. So why wait. this one's ready to go now. Call today! 1965 Shelby Cobra for Sale 1965 Shelby Cobra for Sale Stock # 2211-ATL Charlotte Showroom 5400 West WT Harris Blvd Charlotte.
