1965 Shelby Cobra

There is no denying the magnetic allure of the 1965 Shelby Backdraft Cobra, a roadster that captures the very essence of American muscle and craftsmanship. This striking machine boasts a deep gloss-black finish that gleams with a show-quality presence, hinting at the power beneath its sculpted hood. What truly commands attention is its heart: a formidable 427 cubic inch V8, built by Backdraft in 2015, delivering a thrilling blend of classic spirit and modern muscle. With under 1,000 miles since built, this Cobra offers a rare chance to own a powerful legend that drives as impressively as it looks. Step inside the cockpit and experience a blend of classic comfort and purposeful design. Wide leather bucket seats envelop the driver with supportive luxury, while harness seatbelts add a race-inspired touch. The clean dash layout features clear AutoMeter gauges and a well-maintained dash pad and door panels with only minimal use. The tactile feel of the steering wheel and smooth shifters invite engagement, all complemented by plush carpeting that remains vibrant.  Under the hood, the 427ci Dart block V8 roars to life with Edelbrock E-Street aluminum heads, a Holley 4-barrel carburetor, and an Edelbrock RPM Air-Gap intake, making 518 horsepower and 529 pound-feet of torque as verified by a dyno sheet. The Tremec 5-speed manual transmission offers precise, confident shifts, perfectly matched to the long-tube headers and baffled side pipes that deliver a commanding rumble. With power four-wheel disc brakes and BMW independent coilover suspension front and rear, this Cobra offers a driving experience that balances raw muscle with refined control.
