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.
