The Shelby Cobra, born from Carroll Shelby's audacious vision to fuse American V8 power with a lightweight British AC Ace chassis, became an instant legend. Introduced in 1962, the Cobra quickly dominated sports car racing, culminating in the fearsome 427 S/C variant in 1965. With its massive big-block Ford engine, flared fenders, and side exhausts, the 427 S/C was an untamed beast, a visceral embodiment of American muscle and engineering ingenuity. Only 348 original 427 Cobras were ever built, making them exceedingly rare and valuable, cementing their status as one of the most iconic and desirable performance cars in history. This particular Backdraft Roadster, a meticulously crafted recreation of the legendary 1965 Shelby Cobra 427, captures the spirit and performance of the original with modern reliability. Completed on November 26, 2007, and carrying Build No: 591, this roadster is finished in a striking Avis Blue PPG with classic White PPG stripes, perfectly complemented by a Black interior. Under the hood lies the heart of a true beast: a potent Roush 427 cubic inch engine, professionally installed by Speed Fanatix and supplied directly by Roush Racing, ensuring exhilarating performance. Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a robust TKO-600 manual transmission, offering an engaging and authentic driving experience. Showing 0 miles, this example is ready for its maiden voyage. This is an opportunity to own a faithful homage to an American icon, built to be driven and enjoyed.
