Carroll Shelby's racing legacy lives on through this 1965 Shelby Cobra Backdraft 427, built in 2009 by TR Tec in South Africa. Finished in Pewter with bold silver racing stripes running across its body, this roadster makes quite an entrance. The low stance comes from its 17" wheels with center knock-offs and massive 245/45ZR17 front and 315/35ZR17 rear tires that grip the road. Side pipes run along the flanks, while the paint protection film on the nose demonstrates the thoughtful care given to this American-inspired design.
The black and tan leather interior blends race-car function with just enough comfort. Leather bucket seats keep you in place through every curve and straightaway. The layout puts all controls exactly where you need them with zero excess. The Roush shifter sits perfectly positioned for quick gear changes during high-speed runs. Power steering gives you total control when pushing the limits, while the trunk-mounted battery with a shut-off behind the passenger seat shows intelligent engineering that follows racing tradition.
The Roush 427 R V8 engine gives this Cobra its famous growl, working perfectly with the TREMEC 5-speed manual transmission for quick acceleration. Roush aluminum heads and a Holley carburetor feed through an Edelbrock intake manifold for optimal output across the RPM range. The fully independent suspension uses adjustable coilovers up front with a performance-tuned coil spring, shock, and sway bar setup in back for amazing handling. Four-wheel power disc brakes bring you to a stop quickly, while long tube headers connect to those side pipes for that unmistakable Cobra sound.
