1965 Backdraft Racing Cobra Replica

Brand-New Sinister-Looking Backdraft Cobra GTR

The classic Shelby Cobra shape takes on a more aggressive personality in this Backdraft GTR. Finished in Grigio Silverstone with twin black stripes, under-hood stripes, black fender and side stripes, and a Gloss Blackout Trim Package, this Backdraft Cobra blends the familiar 1960s roadster profile with a distinctly modern performance look.

Under the hood is a Roush 427R V8 producing 560 horsepower. The 427R breathes through a high-flowing aluminum single-plane intake manifold topped by a Holley 4-barrel carburetor. A Tremec TKX 5-speed manual sends power to an 8.8-inch independent rear with 3.55 Posi Traction gears. Power steering and four-wheel disc brakes add confidence behind the wheel.

The GTR body sits over gloss black 18-inch knock-off-style aluminum wheels wrapped in sticky Hankook rubber, giving this Shelby Cobra replica a wider, more contemporary stance.

Inside, black ribbed leather upholstery is paired with Alcantara accents and SABELT four-point cam-lock racing harnesses. Heated seats, a glove box, LED headlights, and Auto Meter OEM-style gauges add useful touches, and the reverse-sweeping speedometer nods to the original Cobra cockpit.

For anyone searching for a Shelby Cobra replica for sale, this Backdraft GTR takes the 1965 Shelby Cobra formula in a more modern direction. Grab the Tremec five-speed, feed the Roush 427R some throttle, and 560 horsepower turns this roadster into an experience that feels every bit as serious as it looks.
