1965 Shelby Cobra Backdraft RT3
1965 Shelby Cobra
This car was built 5-28-2008. An equivalent (engine minus) rolling chassis would cost $48,855 from Backdraft plus the extra work put into the interior and engine bay of this car make it a great deal. An equivalent engine and transmission in this car would cost $17,375 ($66,230 total).
This car has been well cared for and is ready to rock! Everything works, has been looked after by a meticulous mechanical engineer. All the work was done right. If you have any questions about the car feel free to contact me and I’ll get back to you promptly.
