Description:
INTRODUCTION: Only 285 miles, it\'s still a new car! Backdraft Racing is synonymous with quality in the Cobra world, building factory assembled and painted roadsters that are among the best available. This stunning example features the desirable big and tall package, gorgeous Soul Red paint, advanced RT4 independent suspension, and a 550-horsepower Roush 427R stroker. It\'s an incredible combination of beauty, performance, and craftsmanship.

EXTERIOR: It is absolutely gorgeous and looks like a piece of wet candy. Finished in a vibrant Soul Red, the paint has incredible depth and clarity, accented by Black Magic racing stripes that are smooth to the touch. The body is sleek, curvaceous, and beautifully presented, capturing everything that makes a Cobra one of the most iconic sports cars ever built. The brightwork is equally impressive, featuring a chrome windshield frame complete with wing windows and sun visors, a bullet-style side mirror, and the classic single hoop roll bar behind the driver. Other authentic Cobra details include the flip up gas cap, quick jack bumperettes, and polished side pipes fitted with vented heat shields to help protect your legs when entering and exiting the car. Filling the wheel wells are 18-inch Halibrand style knockoff wheels, staggered with extra wide rear tires for an aggressive stance. They\'re wrapped in Nitto performance tires and dressed with vintage style Goodyear lettering.

INTERIOR: The interior is definitely a cut above what you typically find in a Cobra. The sport bucket seats are upholstered in premium leather with tasteful red accents, giving the cockpit a more refined and upscale feel while still remaining true to the car\'s performance roots. Matching custom leather door panels and a leather wrapped center console feature contrasting red stitching that ties the entire interior together beautifully. This one also has the sought after big and tall package with a deeper foot well and the seat slides back further. The driver is greeted by an aluminum spoke steering wheel with a polished wood rim, a full set of AutoMeter gauges, and a proper hand operated emergency brake. Four point safety harnesses help keep occupants securely in place when enjoying the car\'s performance capabilities. The interior is fully carpeted throughout, creating a finished appearance that blends race-inspired function with a level of comfort and craftsmanship not often seen in a Cobra.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Power comes from a Roush 427R crate engine, a 427 stroker V8 producing a stout 550 horsepower! It\'s topped with a Holley 4-barrel carburetor with an electric choke, mounted on a high-rise aluminum intake for excellent performance. Electronic ignition, ceramic coated headers, and a serpentine belt system, power steering and brakes further enhance reliability and drivability. The engine compartment is exceptionally detailed and built to show quality standards, everything is polished. Even the underside of the hood is painted to match the top including the stripes. The Roush valve covers and matching air cleaner give it a cohesive performance appearance. An aluminum radiator, electric cooling fan, polished overflow bottle, and polished hard radiator pipes keep it running cool while adding visual appeal. Additional highlights include a Powermaster alternator, billet pulleys, and an aluminum water pump. Everywhere you look, the components are clean, purposeful, and beautifully presented, making the engine bay every bit as impressive as the rest of the car.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It is fully finished and carpeted, including the underside of the trunk lid, giving it a clean and upscale appearance. Unlike many sports cars of this type, it actually offers a surprisingly useful amount of storage space.

UNDERSIDE: The underside is detailed to the highest standards, more importantly, it has all the mechanical ingredients that make for an exceptional sports car. Up front is a fully adjustable coilover suspension p
