4100-PHX 1965 SHELBY COBRA 427 BACKDRAFT

Arriving with a mere 76 actual miles on the odometer, the 1965 Shelby Cobra 427 Backdraft sits practically factory fresh and ready to unleash its fury. Indigo Blue paint slashed with classic white racing stripes creates a bold visual impact that screams pure American muscle. Aggressive 18-inch true knock-off wheels wrapped in massive Nitto rubber - 245/40R18 front and 295/40R18 rear - plant this beast firmly to the asphalt. The brushed roll bar rises from the body like a dorsal fin, while chrome mirrors and wind deflector pieces add just the right amount of flash. Finishing the profile are the Side-exit exhaust pipes with exposed collectors.

Black quilted vinyl with precise white stitching covers nearly every surface of the cabin, creating a race-ready atmosphere that never sacrifices style. Low-back bucket seats grip your torso while Sabelt harnesses lock you in place for when the g-forces hit. The driver faces a full arsenal of AutoMeter gauges monitoring every vital sign: oil pressure, oil temp, RPM, water temp, fuel level, voltage, and speed. The left-hand ignition switch and separate right-hand engine start button add theatrical flair to the starting sequence. A wood-rimmed steering wheel with the Backdraft logo on the horn button puts total control in your hands, while the chrome-ringed floor shifter waits to select the perfect gear.

Ford's legendary 427 V8 crate motor dominates the engine bay, topped with Edelbrock E Street aluminum heads, hydraulic roller Comp cam, and an Edelbrock intake manifold fed by a Holley Street Avenger four-barrel carburetor. Chrome accents on the power steering pump and alternator provide visual flair among the serious hardware. An aluminum radiator with electric fan keeps temperatures under control during high-performance driving. The Tremec TKX 5-speed manual transmission channels all that American muscle to a Ford 8.8 rear end with 3.55 gears for explosive acceleration. Fully independent coilover suspension at all four corners delivers modern handling dynamics, while power disc brakes bring everything to a halt with absolute control.
