Shelby Backdraft Shelby Cobra (1965)
for sale

Price: US $59,750.00

Description:


Up for sale is my prized 1965 Backdraft Shelby Cobra SC #904. Free and clear title ready to sell. No accidents no drama ! This car is fully sorted out and comes with no stories or headaches. It is powered by an incredible Roush Racing 427R V8 mated to a Tremec TKO 600 5 Speed manual transmission. This particular engine dynoed at very healthy 538 hp and 517 ft / lbs of torque. Combine that much power with a car that weighs 2300 lbs and you can imagine what a blast it is to drive this car. I have personally added a large number of upgrades which are all listed below. I have taken the time to make this car as reliable and trouble free as possible. Most of the upgrades below will have to be done to one of these cars at some point or another. Save yourself the trouble, money, and time, and buy this car which already has everything on it already taken care of. Last year the car was at Backdraft Racing where I spent $4500.00 in upgrades and maintenance on the car. I have the receipt for this service visit and can provide it upon request. The car has a little over 5k trouble free miles on the clock. Please let me know if you have any questions. This car turns heads everywhere it goes. It is not for the faint of heart and definitely not for folks that do not like getting a ton of attention. Simply get in the car and drive. Comes with 2 sets of ignition keys as well as keys for the hood and trunk latches. I will also include 2 car covers with the sale as well as extra belts and any other spare parts I may have laying around the garage. You will not find a nicer and more sorted out Backdraft Cobra. This car would cost over $75, 000 to replicate today including all of the upgrades I have added which are listed below. These pictures are from when I first bought the car. I have since added the Cobra emblems and Hurst shifter with shift knob. Car is always kept on battery tender which will be included with the sale.
