Shelby Cobra Replica

This Backdraft Racing RT3 Roadster is a Cobra replica that was built in 2012 by TR-Tec in Durban, South Africa, and was sold new at Backdraft Motorsports of Boynton Beach, Florida, before it was acquired by the seller in March 2023. It is powered by a Roush-supercharged 4.6-liter V8 paired with a Tremec T5 five-speed manual transmission and is finished in silver with white stripes over black leather upholstery. Equipment includes 17″ Halibrand-style wheels, a limited-slip differential, four-wheel disc brakes, side-exit exhaust pipes, a single roll hoop, quick-jack bumperettes, air conditioning, Crow Safety Gear racing harnesses, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. This RT3 Roadster is offered with a convertible top, side curtains, a tonneau cover, a car cover, a build sheet, a flash tuner device, an owner’s manual, service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Georgia title listing the car as a 1965 Roadster. The fiberglass bodywork is finished in silver with white stripes and features a hood scoop, a black-finished single roll hoop, a LeMans-style fuel filler cap, wind wings, dual-side mirrors, quick-jack bumperettes, and side-exit exhaust pipes with heat shields. A black tonneau cover and gray convertible top are included in the sale. Paint protection film covers the front panels. Black-finished 17″ Halibrand-style wheels are secured with safety-wired knock-off spinners and are wrapped in Nitto NT555 G2 tires. Braking is provided by four-wheel discs, and the car is equipped with power steering. The low-back bucket seats are trimmed in black leather with Backdraft Racing logos embroidered into the backrests. Additional appointments include a carbon-fiber dashboard, air conditioning, a dash-mounted rearview mirror, a fire extinguisher mounted between the seats, a red-finished emergency power cutoff switch, and Crow Safety Gear four-point harnesses. The leather-wrapped steering wheel sits ahead of VDO instrumentation including a 220-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The digital odometer shows 4,400 miles, approximately 150 of which were added under current ownership. The 4.6-liter V8 features a Roush supercharger and was fitted with a replacement serpentine belt and tensioner in April 2018. An oil change was performed in March 2023. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed Tremec T5 manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. A plaque affixed to the vehicle shows the VIN and identifies the car as being built by TR-Tec in South Africa. The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and lists registration history in Florida.
