In the Automotive Hall of Fame, there is no doubt that Carroll Shelby's Cobra is easily a first-ballot inductee. Beloved by millions for decades, this majestic muscle car has been so highly sought after that we absolutely adore replicas like the 1965 Shelby Cobra Coyote 5.0 Backdraft. With just 3,466 miles on its odometer, this Dark Metallic Blue vehicle, complemented by black and white center stripes, looks like a nightmarish dream car with its blacked-out knock-off wheels, roll hoop, and side pipes.
Hop inside this two-seater, and you're treated to a Spartan-yet-comfortable, diamond-stitched black leather interior featuring soft-yet-supportive bucket seats, four-point Sabelt racing harnesses, and a three-point, padded steering wheel. A carbon-fiber-style dashboard is home to a six-pod AutoMeter gauge cluster. Mapholders on each door panel are about as much of an amenity as this no-frills fire-breathing roadster can muster up, while the short-throw, forward-tilt shifter reminds you why.
Under the signature front-hinged hood, we find a modern 5.0-liter DOHC, 32-valve, V-8 engine. Featuring an aluminum block and heads, variable-valve timing, and a set of long-tube headers that lead to those bellowing side pipes, this powertrain goes a long way in living up to the legend. That power is routed through a Tremec TKO600 five-speed manual transmission before being sent out to a set of 18-inch knock-off-style wheels shod in sticky Nitto rubber.
