If you know these Factory Produced Backdraft Cobra's with high-end craftsmanship, you know a few important key points… They are Very Hot, HARD TO FIND, Very Collectable, Eye-Catching, offers an unbelievable driving experience, trendy and extremely fast! While it looks, rides and drives like a new 6-figure priced Backdraft, it will be bought for a fraction of that with little expense spared during its factory build. It's been well maintained with things working as they should. This is my 4th Backdraft Cobra of 5 that I have owned and I think it drives out the best of all of them… its simply well sorted.

This Backdraft Cobra was completed May 30 of 2002 and went into service with its drivetrain upon delivery August 29, 2002. It comes with the Factory Backdraft Certificates which includes the Build details.

To sit in the seats is a Serious RUSH and while it gets the job done quickly, it is engineered to drive anywhere with confidence. Take it to shows, cruises short and long, power tours, etc… drive with complete confidence!

Things work as they should including but not limited to Headlight/Taillights, Signals, Interior dash, Gauges, Horn, etc… Get in, hit the key, smile at the rumble and hit the road smiling…that is all it takes to have fun in this one… Note: It comes with a great fitting car cover and a soft top that allows you to travel with confidence.

Is this Cobra perfect? No and none of them are… the only thing that comes to mind is a few small paint blemishes in a from driving the car… you have to search to find them. I tried the wipers yesterday and they did not turn on (Might be a fuse?) I am stretching to find something here. I am selling two or three of my cars due to space and I basically have a twin to this car as well.

I reserve the right to end this auction early due to having it for sale locally... I am pricing my Cobra to sell and believe it will not last long so do not hesitate to hit the buy it now button and please do so with absolute confidence!
