Overview of 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica by Backdraft Racing For Sale by Owner

One of the rarest pure sports cars in the world is the AC Cobra, also known as the Shelby Cobra. It's the result of a collaboration between Carroll Shelby and British sports car maker AC Cars, and saw a brutish American V8 crammed into the engine bay of a pert British roadster. The result was one of the most capable sports cars of the time, a true driver’s challenger. Less than 1,000 official Cobras were made, which means that getting your hands on one is a high six figure investment – if you can find someone willing to sell, that is. Thankfully, we’ve got this 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica by Backdraft Racing for sale for much less. With a Ford Racing engine under the hood and plenty of original-inspired bits, this car is as close as you can get.

Exterior and Interior

Black Magic with Eminent White Stripes is the official color code of this 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica by Backdraft Racing and we’ve got to say, it’s simply jaw-dropping. In fact, it is the RT4 model which boasts a larger chassis. Yes, the Cobra itself is a head-turner, but this particular car with this color scheme and aftermarket 18-inch polished wheels really elevates things to a whole new level. Since the Cobra is an open-topped car, you can easily see the interior as well, protected by elements such as a driver-side roll bar in chrome. Further chrome elements include chrome exterior trim and chrome side-exit exhaust pipes. The two-seat interior of this 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica by Backdraft Racing comes in black, with German leatherback seats and a German-style leather-wrapped dashboard. You’ve also got a wood steering wheel, black four-point safety harnesses, and upgraded digital gauges. That’s it, really.

Engine

Packing a monstrous 427ci Ford Racing V8, this car enjoys a reported 480hp when called for. The engine has been upgraded with a Holley carburetor MSD ignition kit and Ford Racing brushed engine dress-up kit. A five-speed manual gearbox from Tremec – a T5 to be exact – sends power to the rear wheels through a 3.55 rear axle ratio. We’re also told that the car has upgraded BMW front and rear independent suspension and BMW front and rear disc brakes. This is truly a car that must be experienced to be appreciated.
