Overview of 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica by Backdraft Racing For Sale by Owner

The Shelby Cobra is a rare example of a car that’s highly desirable on both sides of the Atlantic. It’s the result of the prolific Carroll Shelby deciding to take a compact British roadster from AC Cars and stuff an American V8 into its engine bay. The result is a fantastically fearsome beast that’s a true driver’s car, and a race track demon. All in all, less than a thousand official Cobras were made between 1962 and 1967. Of course, at the time, scant thought was paid towards preservation of the model for future generations. This means that high six figure price tags are normal for average-condition cars, with mint examples commanding seven figures. However, plenty of replicas do exist for those who want to get their Cobra fix at a far more reasonable price. Today’s 2016 Shelby Cobra Replica is a prime example, and it’s up for sale in California with just 3,196 miles on the clock.

Exterior and Interior

This 2016 Shelby Cobra Replica showcases the model’s signature long and low stance with a silver and black two-tone paint job. Actually, the majority of the car is silver, while twin black racing stripes run down its spine. Then, you’ve got a silver-colored side-exit exhaust, silver alloy wheels, and a soft top with tonneau cover for some weather protection. Mind you, not all Cobras have this, so you’re in luck with this car. You’ll also note the Ray Dot driver and passenger side mirrors. The two-seat interior isn’t exactly snug, but it’s a fairly intimate affair, necessitated by the car’s relatively lithe stance. You’ll find features such as a heater, as well as heated seats for optimal winter comfort. There’s a Moto Lita-style leather upholstered steering wheel, Cam Lock seat belts, and a bevy of analog gauges. There doesn’t appear to be a radio, but then again, you likely won’t hear it once the engine is in stride.

Engine

This 2016 Shelby Cobra Replica comes with a 2015 Ford Coyote V8 under the hood. The modern 5.0-liter fuel-injected unit will be far more reliable and powerful than the older carbureted V8s that typically find their way into Cobra replicas. A 5-speed manual transmission is used to channel power to the rear wheels. There’s also a carbon fiber air intake and disc brakes all around.

The 1980 Shay Model A Roadster is more than a simple retro-styled roadster; it represents one of the more unusual chapters in Ford-related automotive history. Harry J. Shay founded Shay Motors in the late 1970s with the goal of recreating the 1929 Ford Model A Roadster for modern buyers, and the finished cars were sold through participating Ford dealerships rather than as conventional kit cars. That connection gave Shay’s Model A reproductions a unique place in the collector-car world, blending the appearance and charm of a prewar Ford with far more contemporary mechanicals. Showing approximately 8,327 miles, this example is finished in Cream over Black and features the signature details that make these cars so recognizable, including a rumble seat, dual side-mounted spare wheels, wire wheels, a Quail-style radiator mascot, and a rear-mounted luggage rack.
