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 almost 6-figure priced Backdraft, it will be bought for a fraction of that and little expense was spared during its build. Well maintained and everything works as it should.

This Backdraft Cobra body & chassis was completed in 2006 and went in to service with its drivetrain.

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, Wipers, 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 bra and car cover 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 rubbed paint blemish in a place or two from driving under the nose… you have to search to find it. I am stretching to find something here. I am selling two or three of my cars due to space.

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 bid and please do so with absolute confidence! Please have finances in order prior to bidding as well. Purely as a hobby, I have been blessed to sell cars to buyers all over the country and internationally and take tremendous efforts in keeping a 100% feedback…that said, I have tried to be honest and accurate in all descriptions. I encourage however all to inspect this vehicle if possible prior to bidding so that you can confirm my notes above or contact me with any questions at mdescamp@comcast.net or (865) 384-6017.

Note: I have a clear Tennessee Title in my name and the car is titled per its production in 2006.

If you are the winning bidder, please expect to send a $2,500 deposit within 72 hours and have plans to pick the car up within 7 days. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer but I can assist with local direct carriers with both enclosed and open hauling available.
