1965 Backdraft Racing Cobra Replica

Brand New Backdraft Cobra Build with Roush 427R Power

Red Diamond paint, Black Magic stripes, and 550 horsepower make this brand-new Backdraft Cobra difficult to ignore. Built with Backdraft Racing's GT body option, this 1965 Shelby Cobra replica gives the legendary roadster a more muscular presence while staying true to the open-cockpit, V8-powered experience that made the original famous.

Under the hood is a Roush 427R stroker V8 producing 550 horsepower, paired with a Tremec TKX 5-speed manual transmission. Black ceramic-coated headers feed matching black side pipes, giving the Roush engine a deep soundtrack to match its performance. An upgraded aluminum radiator helps manage temperatures, while an aluminum fuel tank and power steering round out the road-ready equipment.

The Red Diamond exterior is accented by Black Magic stripes, additional side stripes, and stripes continuing beneath the hood. Eighteen-inch aluminum knock-off-style wheels wrapped in Continental ExtremeContact tires give this replica Shelby a modern footprint.

Inside, black ribbed leather seats are paired with Alcantara accents and SABELT four-point cam-lock harnesses. Heated seats and a heater add comfort, while dual side mirrors and AutoMeter OEM-style gauges with a reverse-counting speedometer keep the cockpit focused on the driving experience.

For anyone searching for a Shelby Cobra replica for sale, this fresh build brings together dramatic color, the GT body, and proven Roush power. Tap to see our full inventory of Backdraft Cobras
