1965 Backdraft Racing BRD Shelby Cobra Replica – 427 V8 500HP

Vehicle Overview

This 1965 Backdraft Racing Shelby Cobra Replica was privately owned by a good customer of ours. It is finished in a bespoke Dark Porsche Blue with Twin Silver Stripes over a Black Leather interior. It has the look and sound of an original 427 Cobra, with modern engineering underneath that makes it a car you can actually drive and enjoy.

Backdraft Racing is known for building some of the best-engineered Cobra replicas on the market. This one is built on a steel square-tube frame with a fiberglass body, BMW suspension arms, adjustable coilover shocks, and BMW four-wheel disc brakes. The Backdraft layout includes a recessed rear wall, a wider driver’s seat, and a dropped box on the driver’s floor, so the cockpit fits a wider range of drivers than a traditional Cobra.

Power comes from a Prestige Motorsports 427 V8 iron block rated at 500 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque. It is built with a Lunati forged crank, Mahle forged pistons, aluminum heads, and a roller camshaft. Supporting parts include an Edelbrock intake manifold, water pump, and fuel pump, a Holley 770 cfm carburetor, MSD distributor and Blaster SS coil, a Melling oil pump, and a Power Master starter. It is paired with a Tremec TKX 5-speed manual transmission.

Classic Style Trim includes black leather seats and dash, black carpet, a classic-style gauge package, 18″ knockoff wheels, a driver-side roll bar, Backdraft floor mats, and a carpeted trunk.
