1965 Backdraft Racing Cobra Replica

Brand-New Shelby Cobra Build in Hera Mica Blue with Roush 427R V8

The Shelby Cobra has always been defined by a simple idea: a lightweight roadster, a big V8, and very little separating the driver from the experience. This brand-new Backdraft Cobra carries that formula forward with 550 horsepower, a five-speed manual, and a striking Hera Mica Blue finish accented by black and red racing stripes.

Under the hood is a Roush 427R small block stroker producing 550 horsepower, backed by a Tremec TKX 5-speed manual transmission. Silver ceramic-coated headers feed chrome side pipes for the unmistakable Cobra soundtrack. An 8.8-inch independent rear with 3.55 gears puts the power down, and power steering makes this Shelby Cobra replica easier to enjoy on the street. The build also includes an upgraded aluminum radiator and aluminum fuel tank.

The Hera Mica Blue body features a smooth hood without exposed rivets, giving this 1965 Shelby Cobra a particularly clean appearance. Eighteen-inch aluminum knock-off-style wheels wrapped in Continental ExtremeContact tires provide a modern footprint.

Inside, black leather upholstery features diagonal stitching with contrasting red thread. Heated seats, a heater, SABELT four-point cam-lock racing harnesses, dual Raydot mirrors, and AutoMeter OEM-style gauges with a reverse-counting speedometer complete the cockpit.

For anyone searching for a Shelby Cobra replica for sale, this fresh Backdraft build pairs timeless Cobra proportions with modern craftsmanship and serious Roush power. Grab the TKX five-speed, hear the 427R through the side pipes, and enjoy a brand-new Cobra built to spend its time on the road! Tap to see our full inventory of Backdraft Cobras
