Vehicle Description

500hp Backdraft Racing Cobra Roadster 427 V8 5-speed GT Body

The Shelby Cobra, also known as the AC Cobra, is a legendary American sports car that is famous for its performance and racing pedigree. It was the result of a collaboration between American car designer and entrepreneur Carroll Shelby and the British automaker AC Cars. The first Shelby Cobra was introduced in the early 1960s and quickly gained a reputation as one of the most iconic and powerful sports cars of its era.

This Backdraft Racing Cobra was inspired by the work that Carrol Shelby had begun many decades before and it still lives true to the legend.

Under the hood is a 427ci small block Ford V8 pushing out 500hp and built with some of the best products on the market today.
Backing that power up is a Tremec TKX 5 speed manual transmission along with an Independent rear suspension.

Power four-wheel disc brakes and 18" center lock wheels and wide profile tires on all four corners make this Cobra a handling machine.

Inside you will find leather bucket seats along with carbon fiber looking Autometer gauges and sueded leather steering wheel to help keep your hands firmly planted on the wheel.
