When you envision building your ideal Cobraand#44; this is the first picture your mind will always go to. The deep Indigo Blue with white painted dual racing stripes is as much a part of the icon as the curvy roadster body. And the combination of the high luster hue highlighting all the rounded panels is what makes every enthusiast fall in love instantly. It also helps that Backdraft offers one of the highest quality bodies in the Cobra industry. Thats why the fit and finish on this particular car is worthy of all the extra scrutiny its likely to get at shows.

Sureand#44; the engine bay has that perfect shiny appearance that will certainly attract crowds... but this is a Cobraand#44; and its primary mission is to be the fastest sports car around. Thats why beneath the flash is the substance of a stout 302 cubic-inch V8 with less than 500 miles on it since built. Go-fast goodies on this one include aluminum headsand#44; roller rockersand#44; hydraulic camand#44; electric fanand#44; MSD ignitionand#44; and a Holley Street Avenger 650 CFM four-barrel carburetor. It all feeds those side pipes that have the unmistakable growl of performance. You are in complete control of the V8s symphony thanks to the Tremec T56 five-speed manual transmission.
