The legend of the Shelby Cobra began in the early 1960s when Carroll Shelby, a Texas-born racing driver and automotive visionary, sought to combine lightweight British AC Ace roadster chassis with powerful American V8 engines. The result was a car that would dominate racetracks and capture the imagination of enthusiasts worldwide. The 427 Cobra, introduced in 1965, was the ultimate evolution, featuring a wider, more muscular body and a monstrous 7.0-liter (427 cubic inch) Ford FE engine, capable of propelling the car to over 160 mph. Only around 300 original 427 Cobras were ever produced, making them exceedingly rare and valuable. Their raw power, visceral driving experience, and iconic shape cemented their place as one of the most revered sports cars in history. This Backdraft Racing Roadster pays homage to that legendary 1965 427 Cobra, meticulously crafted to capture the essence and thrill of the original. Under the hood lies a formidable 7.0L 427 Roush engine, paired with a precise TKX 5-speed manual transmission, offering an authentic and engaging driving experience. Showing a mere 85 miles on the odometer, this "new" convertible is ready to deliver exhilarating performance from the moment it leaves the showroom. This is an exceptional opportunity to experience the timeless appeal and electrifying performance of a Cobra, built for the modern enthusiast.
