Based on a ’65 Shelby Cobra, the company that produces this replica Shelby (Backdraft Racing) starts with one of its replica ’65 Cobra shells, and ends with what is called a Black Label RT3B Cobra. This one-piece shell is made of what the company refers to as Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP), and is hand laminated during the construction process.
There is nothing quite like a Shelby Cobra roadster to get the heart racing, and this eBay Motors find in Miami, Florida, is no exception. In fact, it’s a prime example of an old school ride with a modern twist. Listed for a buy-it-now auction price of $67,900, this ultimate driving car is beyond spectacular; boasting some pretty stout upgrades if we do say so ourselves.
For starters, this sinister Cobra replica is equipped with a ROUSH Performance supercharged 5.0-liter Coyote V8, capable of pulling 608 horses and knocking out 521 lb-ft of torque. And the kicker is, it only has 328 miles on the power-plant; making it practically a brand new snake.
The Tremec TKO 600 manual transmission looks right at home in the simple, yet functional interior of the RT3B Cobra. While the black leather interior is complemented with red stitching and a four-point safety harness for each seat; and the driver’s side roll-bar adds a classic look that completes the package from an exterior standpoint.
But above all of those things, its probably the signature Shelby racing stripes in steel grey, outlined in red to offset the darker hues of the black finish, that’s our favorite part about this Cobra. What about you?
