1965 Shelby Cobra

STK 3684 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica

Backdraft Racing is a premier manufacturer of classic Cobra replicars. Based in the Boynton Beach, FL, BDR produces various Cobra kits and are very highly respected in the business. This beautiful 1-owner 1965 Shelby Backdraft Cobra is a prime example of what a replicar should be. The BDR Roadster is a serious Cobra that is built to race. That said, this particular Cobra has never been to a track. The BDR Cobra Roadster was originally built as a show car for the BDR sales team and was purchased as a rolling chassis by our owner in 2007. This gentleman, a valued leader of one of NASCAR\'s best race teams, completed the build - with a little help from his NASCAR friends, and his son. The SC-style body was professionally finished in Titanium Silver w/Indigo strips and it is in outstanding condition. Accents include stainless side-pipes, clear window wings and Shelby-style alloy wheels that are true \'knock-offs\' wrapped in Goodyear Eagle performance radials. The high grade vinyl interior looks as good as the day it was installed. A full complement of VDO gauges is perfectly positioned in the functional dash, there is a handsome wooden wheel and each bucket seat is equipped with lap/shoulder harness along with dual roll bars. One of the best features of this Cobra Roadster is a 2-1/2\" lengthened foot box to accept tall drivers.
Horsepower is furnished by a built 427R-532 polished Windsor from the shop of the owner\'s friend, \'The Cat in the Hat\' Jack Roush. The engine was dyno-ed by Roush Industries at 469bhp/481lb/ft. The intake mounts a Holley 670cfm double-pumper and the rumble from the side-pipe leaves no mistake - this Roush motor is all business. It is backed by a Tremec TKO-600 5-speed manual gearbox w/HD clutch and pressure plate. The chassis is equipped with fully independent suspension that utilizes BMW 3-Series components with adjustable coil-over shocks in the front and adjustable coil springs in the rear. Slow-down is provided by power-assisted 4-wheel disc brakes. The owner/builder has taken exceptional care of this handsome Cobra and is now ready to pass it on to the next caretaker. If you want a top-shelf Shelby Cobra replicar to drive and enjoy, or race, this is your machine. ALL VEHICLES SOLD \"AS IS\".
