1965 Superformance Cobra MKIII Replica

2019 Superformance Cobra Build with Just 2,600 Miles

The Shelby Cobra formula has always been wonderfully simple: a lightweight British-inspired roadster wrapped around serious Ford V8 power. This 1965 Shelby Cobra replica carries that idea forward with a Superformance build, a 550-horsepower Roush 427, and just 2,600 miles since its 2019 completion.

Under the hood is a Roush 427 cubic-inch small block Ford built from an aftermarket Dart iron block. It produces 550 horsepower and is backed by a Tremec TKO 600 5-speed manual transmission. An independent rear end with 3.50:1 Posi gears puts the power down, and rack-and-pinion steering, adjustable coilovers, tubular control arms, and four-wheel power disc brakes with Wilwood calipers give this Superformance Cobra serious road-going hardware.

Metallic Blue paint with white painted stripes provides the unmistakable Cobra appearance. A chrome single roll hoop and 15-inch Shelby knock-off wheels complete the vintage-inspired look, with 255/60R15 front and wide 295/50R15 rear tires filling the wheel openings.

Inside, black bucket seats are fitted with four-point racing harnesses. A wood-rimmed Shelby steering wheel, Smiths gauges, and a glove box keep the cockpit appropriately simple.

For someone searching for a high-quality Shelby Cobra replica for sale, this example offers a compelling combination. With 550 horsepower, a five-speed manual, and only 2,600 miles, this Cobra replica for sale is ready for the experience these cars were built around: open air, a V8 soundtrack, and a winding stretch of pavement ahead!
