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.
The Shelby Cobra remains one of the most legendary American sports cars ever created, combining lightweight construction with massive V8 power to deliver performance that was decades ahead of its time.

Showing approximately 21,887 miles, this striking roadster is finished in black over a matching black interior and features a professionally built 351ci V8 that has been balanced, blueprinted, bored, and stroked for enhanced performance. Supported by an independent rear suspension and a robust 4-inch tubular frame, this Cobra replica offers the visceral driving experience enthusiasts crave while providing the reliability and usability expected from a carefully constructed modern interpretation of an automotive icon.
