Exterior and Interior

This example of the 1965 Shelby Cobra ERA Conversion Kit dons a striking blue coat—the very essence of the original Cobra iconography. Freshly painted in 2022, it boasts white racing stripes nodding to its storied racing lineage. Adorning the car's flank are new mufflers reminding of poised torpedoes. At ground level, recently fitted BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires provide traction, while new brakes deliver the essential stopping prowess. Every gleaming chrome accent you see that is beautifully placed around the car is new brightwork. These include the front and rear bumpers, the window frame, and the roll bar that is exposed behind the seats. Cobra badging is presented on the hood and rear of the car, while the Ford emblem graces the front fenders. Wrapped in black leather, the two seats inside the cockpit provide comfortable seating. A wooden steering wheel adds a classic touch, while a minimalist dash hosts two gauges in front of the wheel. Centered on the dash, five gauges accompanied by toggle switches recall a bygone era of automotive craftsmanship.

Engine

Nestled within the hood of this 1965 Shelby Cobra ERA Conversion Kit is a naturally aspirated 289 cu in V8 engine delivering a robust 271 horsepower and an impressive 311 lb-ft of torque. The harmonious marriage of power and efficiency is enhanced by an automatic transmission. Adding to its arsenal of performance enhancements, the engine is armed with a new carburetor, as reported by the current owner.
