1965 Superformance Cobra MKIII For Sale in Rogers, Minnesota, 2146378205 Tweet

This 1965 Superformance Cobra MKIII is a gorgeous, bespoke factory-built Shelby Cobra replica by the only manufacturer authorized, endorsed, and licensed by Carroll Shelby to reproduce his iconic 60s race cars. When it comes to Shelby Cobra replicas, Superformance is, without a doubt, the absolute best Cobra replica money can buy. What separates Superformance from the rest is the fact that its the only builder authorized, endorsed, and licensed by Carroll Shelby. Furthermore, Superformance Cobras are not Kit Cars! Unlike the lower-end Cobras that were literally bought in a zillion pieces and assembled by some guy in his backyard on the weekend, Superformance Cobras are hand built in a factory by experienced artisans and craftsman and are delivered as fully-assembled, factory-painted rolling chassises, just waiting for the installation of an engine, transmission, wheels, and tires. Everything else, from the front and rear independent suspension, Wilwood braking system, rack and pinion steering setup, limited slip rear differential, to even the gorgeous leather-trimmed interior are all factory installed. On top of that, Superformance is known for using the highest quality parts such as Wilwood and unlike many the cheaper, lower quality kit cars that repurpose parts from junkyards and salvage cars, Superformance always builds its rolling chassises with brand new parts. They dont creak, squeak, and or rattle either; these cars are hands down the best driving Cobra money can buy. Simply put, when it comes to Cobra replicas, theres Superformance and then there is the rest. This particular Superformance MKIII Cobra has been equipped with a Ford Racing 392 cubic inch V8 fed by a Holley single 4 barrel carburetor that together were said to have been rated at 475 horsepower when new. Exhaust exits the Ford built V8 via a set of of tubular headers and generate an exhilarating sound out of the ceramic coated side-exit exhaust pipes. The engine also features an MSD ignition system for increased reliability as well as a gorgeous Cobra dress up kit comprised of a Cobra emblazoned air cleaner and Cobra branded valve covers. The 392 V8 is backed by a Tremec 5 Speed Manual transmission that makes this Shelby Cobra a truly extraordinary car to drive. Power is sent from the Tremec 5 speed to a limited slip rear differential to help ensure that youll be able to keep the rubber to the pavement. Like all Superformance Cobras, this particular MKIII comes equipped with 4 wheel Wilwood power disc brakes so you have plenty of stopping power which is especially important with 475 horsepower found under the hood. The ride in this Shelby Cobra is superb thanks to the fully independent front and rear suspension complete with custom crafted coil-over shocks. Riding on a set of 245/60R15 radial tires up front and 295/50R15 in the rear, all of which are mounted on Halibrand-style aluminum pin drive knock off wheels, this 65 Shelby handles extremely well while retaining an outstanding period-correct look. Other exterior options include a drivers side roll bar hoop, hood scoop, quick-jack bumperettes, a drivers side mirror, windshield wipers, wing windows, and a LeMans-style gas filler cap. Should you need it, this 65 Cobra MKIII also comes with a set of removable side windows as well as a removable black soft top. The hand laid factory-built fiberglass body is beefed up with steel reinforcements and has been factory finished in 2-stage basecoat/clearcoat Grigio Silverstone urethane paint accented with painted black racing stripes as well as racing roundrel decals and period-correct racing inspired sponsorship decals. The interior of this 1965 Superformance Cobra MKIII is equally stunning!
