Seller's Introduction
duPont REGISTRY Live presents this beautifully specified Superformance MK III 1965 Shelby Cobra, finished in Lightning Blue with painted Wimbledon White stripes and showing approximately 2,404 miles since completion. Built in the tradition of the legendary 427 Cobra, this example combines the iconic proportions and unmistakable character of Carroll Shelby's original with modern engineering and drivability. Power comes from a Ford 427ci V8 equipped with Holley fuel injection and paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, while the Superformance MK III chassis, limited-slip differential, and Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes provide the performance and control expected from a purpose-built continuation Cobra.
Overview
The Superformance MK III faithfully recreates the competition-inspired design that made the original Shelby Cobra one of the most recognizable American sports cars of the 1960s. This example wears a striking Lightning Blue finish accented by painted Wimbledon White stripes, giving the car a distinctive appearance while retaining the classic Cobra silhouette. Chrome trim, 15-inch knock-off wheels, Cooper Cobra tires, a single roll bar, and exposed side-pipe exhaust complete the period-inspired presentation.
Inside, the cockpit is finished in Black leather upholstery with low-back bucket seats, a leather-wrapped dashboard, and a classic three-spoke Cobra steering wheel. Smiths instrumentation maintains the vintage character of the interior, while heating and defrost provide additional comfort and usability. The combination of simple, purposeful controls and high-quality materials creates an authentic driving environment that puts the focus squarely on the experience behind the wheel.
Power comes from a Ford 427ci V8 equipped with Holley electronic fuel injection, delivering the performance and unmistakable character associated with the legendary big-block Cobra. A 5-speed manual transmission sends power to the rear wheels through a limited-slip differential, while Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes provide modern stopping performance. The Superformance MK III chassis and suspension complete a package engineered to deliver the aggressive driving experience expected from a modern interpretation of the original 427 Cobra.
Showing approximately 2,404 miles since completion, this Superformance MK III represents a compelling opportunity to experience the iconic Shelby Cobra formula with modern mechanical components and an exceptionally recognizable specification. Offered with two sets of keys, a tonneau cover, and a car cover, it combines the timeless styling of one of America's most celebrated sports cars with the performance and usability of a professionally built continuation example.
