The Shelby Cobra is an automotive icon, a brutal Anglo-American hybrid born from Carroll Shelby's audacious vision to put a small-block Ford V8 into AC Cars' lightweight Ace roadster. The resulting AC Cobra, introduced in 1962, quickly dominated racetracks, but Shelby's ambition didn't stop there. For 1965, he unleashed the legendary 427 Cobra, a beast designed to conquer the world's fastest circuits. With its massively flared fenders, wider chassis, and a monstrous big-block Ford 427 cubic inch V8, it was a visceral machine, capable of speeds that few cars of its era could match. Only around 300 original 427 Cobras were ever built, cementing its status as one of the most desirable and recognizable performance cars in history. This particular Backdraft RT4 recreation pays homage to that ultimate 1965 427 Cobra, meticulously capturing its aggressive stance and raw performance. With only 2,000 miles on the odometer, this stunning coupe is barely broken in, ready to deliver an unadulterated driving experience. Under the hood lies a formidable Ford Racing 427 V8, a powerhouse engine rated at an impressive 500 horsepower, perfectly embodying the spirit of the original big-block Cobras. Paired with a smooth automatic transmission, it offers thrilling acceleration with surprising usability. This is an opportunity to own a meticulously crafted tribute to one of motorsport's most legendary machines.
