Overview of 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica For Sale by Owner

This 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica by Backdraft Racing brings together the unmistakable open-top Cobra formula with a more modern performance-oriented foundation. According to the current owner, the car was built by the Backdraft Racing team in 2008 and has remained a one-owner vehicle, while the odometer currently shows approximately 7,856 miles. Its specification centers on a Ford Performance Boss 302ci small-block V8, a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission, an RT3 tubular steel space frame, independent suspension at all four corners, and four-wheel disc brakes. Finished in Indigo Blue with white racing stripes and equipped with side-exit exhausts, knockoff-style wheels, and a driver-side roll bar, this Backdraft offers the classic Cobra appearance with the mechanical hardware expected of a purpose-built performance roadster.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior of this 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica by Backdraft Racing is finished in Indigo Blue and accented by contrasting white racing stripes running over the body. Its wide roadster proportions are complemented by Cobra-style knockoff wheels, front and rear quick-jack bumperettes, and a polished driver-side roll bar. A pair of side-exit exhausts with perforated heat shields runs beneath the doors, adding another unmistakable Cobra-inspired detail while giving the car a suitably purposeful profile. The interior of this 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica by Backdraft Racing is finished in black and maintains the focused, minimalist character expected from this style of roadster. A wood-rimmed three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of the driver, while a Cobra-branded shift knob operates the floor-mounted Tremec manual gearbox. Racing harnesses provide a more competition-inspired seating arrangement, and the polished driver-side roll bar rises immediately behind the cockpit. With few distractions between the driver and the controls, the cabin keeps attention firmly on the experience of operating the car.

Engine

At the heart of this Backdraft Racing Cobra is a Ford Performance Boss 302ci small-block V8 fed through a 4-barrel carburetor. Power is sent exclusively to the rear wheels through a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission, giving the driver direct control over the V8 and its side-exit exhaust soundtrack. Underneath, the Backdraft Racing RT3 tubular steel space frame is paired with front and rear independent suspension based on BMW E36 M3 components, an independent rear differential, rack-and-pinion steering, and four-wheel disc brakes. A front-mounted radiator handles cooling duties, completing a mechanical package designed around the lightweight, analog nature of the Cobra roadster formula.

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.
