Seller's Introduction
duPont REGISTRY Live presents this 1965 Backdraft Racing Cobra Roadster, a striking modern interpretation of one of the most legendary American sports cars ever built. Finished in eye-catching Plum Crazy Purple with bold white stripes and enhanced by a sinister black-out package, this example blends unmistakable vintage design with carefully selected modern performance upgrades. At its core is a formidable 427ci Ford Performance V8, paired with a Tremec TKO 600 5-speed manual transmission, delivering an engaging and visceral driving experience. Complemented by a custom German leather interior and supported by thorough owner documentation and records, this Cobra represents a compelling balance of craftsmanship, performance, and heritage.
Overview
This Backdraft Racing Cobra Roadster captures the iconic silhouette of the original 1960s design while incorporating modern engineering for improved drivability and reliability. Its aggressive stance is accentuated by 18-inch black Motorsport Edition knock-off wheels, black side-mounted exhaust, and a driver-side roll-over bar, all working together to reinforce its purposeful, performance-oriented presence. Details like Shelby fender badging and a white leather tonneau cover further enhance its classic roadster character.
Inside, the cabin showcases a blend of motorsport inspiration and bespoke craftsmanship. Custom white German diamond-stitched leather covers the bucket seats and interior surfaces, creating a bold contrast to the exterior. Sabelt 4-point racing harnesses, a leather 3-spoke steering wheel with Cobra emblem, and a white and purple custom shift knob emphasize the car’s driver-focused design. A carbon fiber dash panel adds a modern edge, while amenities such as an AM/FM stereo with CD player and Backdraft Racing floor mats provide subtle comfort touches.
