1965 Shelby Backdraft RT3B

The Backdraft RT3 Roadster is not a kit. it is a hand crafted replica of the infamous British roadster with an American V8 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. The result is a stunning recreation that maintains legendary visuals while offering industry leading comfort and safety. Through continuous improvement and refinement the Backdraft Roadster has reached the top of its class for price versus performance and features.

This one is not for everyone. that is certain. The car itself will get unlimited attention. some neon green stripes just take it a little further. Under the hood is a highly detailed VMS 427Xv2 topped with a stack fuel injection setup. This has been tuned to perfection and has returned 510HP at the rear wheels. The interior has also been treated to customization that VMS is known for.
