1965 Shelby Backdraft Cobra

PRE-OWNED: 450 HP Backdraft Roadster Roush 342 R

stock#

BDR 0521

The Backdraft Roadster is not a kit. it is a hand crafted replica of the infamous British roadster with an American V 8 that captured every car lover's heart in 1965. It combines the historic looks of the original with the modern performance underpinnings of a BMW 3 series.

This Backdraft Roadster was completed by VMS in 2007.

The original owner has had it professionally maintained over the years.

Mechanically it is in top shape. This is a well optioned Backdraft and has a nice running Roush 342 R.

The paint is in fantastic shape.

The grey interior is unique. the previous owner preferred this over black in the hot sun.

Mileage shows how much the original owner enjoyed this car.

Not many Backdrafts on the market today in this price range from a dealer that has performed a complete service.
