1965 Shelby Cobra Backdraft 427ci Small Block V8 1546 Miles
We know that Cobra replica quality can be all over the map, but we invite you to examine this 1965 Shelby Cobra 427 from Backdraft Racing up close and personal, because it's one of the finest we've ever featured. Better still, it's a one-owner, low-mileage wrecking machine with some killer features, including a diabolical Destroyer Gray paint job that really stands out from the crowd, 427 cubic inches under the hood, a quick-shifting 5-speed gearbox, and a gorgeous bespoke interior. Sure, it's a replica (the real ones are locked away in museums these days), but it's one of the best replicas money can buy. Destroyer Gray, a name so cool we don't mind writing it over and over again. Nevertheless, it's a bit of an unusual shade for a Cobra, albeit a refreshing one in a sea of Guardsman Blue and Bright Red recreations that litter the marketplace. The Special Edition color gives the classic Cobra styling a bit more edge, not to mention a more modern street presence, and when off-set with gloss black stripes and black accents in place of all the usual brightwork, well, 'sinister' is a word that's easily conjured up. In truth, it's always nice to see non-traditional but period-correct colors on the replicas, suggesting that the original owner who had it built knew exactly what he was doing rather than just going with what he thought was pretty. If you know the Backdraft cars, you know that their workmanship is incredibly well-regarded in the Cobra industry and the fit and finish on this particular car is worthy of all the extra scrutiny it's likely to get at shows.
