Overview of 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica For Sale by Owner

Want a Shelby Cobra in your life but can’t stretch to the six-figure sums that originals tend to change hands for? No worries, consider a replica like this sub 33,000-mile 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica Backdraft Roadster. With its catchy blue and white striped paint job, punchy 347ci V8 under the hood and overall sense of raciness, this car currently resides in Murphy, North Carolina. And let us tell you, it’s true to Carroll Shelby’s vision of the original Cobras to a great degree. That pert British roadster body, the massive American V8 thrust under the hood and barely fitting inside, the ludicrous driving experience, it’s all right here for the taking! A plate on the car reveals that the car was built in South Africa by Tr-Tec Pty Ltd.

Exterior and Interior

With its bright blue paint job punctuated by twin over the top racing stripes in white, this 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica Backdraft Roadster is definitely a head turner. And you know what? It’s actually more practical than an original Cobra, because it has a full canvas convertible top too! Yes, the black soft top can easily be erected, allowing you to drive the car even if the weather isn’t perfect – of course, you’ve got to be extra careful because there’s no traction control or other electronics to save you if you get a bit lead-footed. The car comes with a lovely set of silver knock-off style wheels too, for the ultimate period stance. The interior of this 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica Backdraft Roadster seats two occupants on black leather-upholstered low-back seats with racing harnesses. The driver gets a full suite of gauges, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, three pedals and a stubby gear shifter for the car’s manual gearbox. You’ll also find some switches for auxiliary functions. That’s it. Nothing else to spoil the joy of pure, unadulterated driving.

Engine

Power comes from a Prestige Motorsports-built 347ci V8 that has been dyno-tested at approximately 433 horsepower. The engine is paired with a manual transmission and sends power to the rear wheels, delivering strong acceleration and an engaging driving experience. The lightweight roadster chassis combined with modern performance components helps provide responsive handling and impressive power-to-weight performance. Additional features include power brakes and drivetrain components derived from BMW engineering, a hallmark of many Backdraft Racing builds designed to enhance reliability and performance.

1956 Porsche 356 Speedster Replica

For Sale
ASK: $71,249
Miles: 29,452
Estimated: $724.12/mo

The Porsche 356 Speedster remains one of the most celebrated designs in automotive history, combining lightweight construction, minimalist styling, and an engaging driving experience that helped establish Porsche's reputation among sports car enthusiasts. Originally introduced in 1954, the Speedster became an enduring symbol of open-air motoring, with its low windshield, compact proportions, and unmistakable silhouette. This 1969 Porsche 356 Speedster Replica captures the spirit of that legendary roadster while offering a more accessible way to experience its timeless appeal. Showing approximately 29,452 miles on the odometer, this example is finished in Black over a striking Red leather interior with a matching Black convertible soft top. Power comes from a rear-mounted, air-cooled 1,600cc flat-four engine equipped with a single center-mounted carburetor, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. Its classic appearance is complemented by chrome five-spoke alloy wheels, Reutter-style badging, and a wood-rimmed steering wheel. Additional highlights include a reupholstered leather interior and work completed by Hicks VW Services. The current owner reports that the speedometer and tachometer are not functioning, meaning the indicated mileage cannot be independently verified. Combining iconic 1950s-inspired styling, traditional air-cooled mechanicals, and an eye-catching color combination, this Speedster replica offers a distinctive interpretation of one of Porsche's most recognizable open-top sports cars.
