1965 Superformance Cobra MKIII " Shelby Licensed Recreation
This 1965 Superformance Cobra MKIII is an exceptional recreation of one of the most legendary performance cars ever created. Finished in classic White with Blue stripes, this Cobra combines the timeless styling of Carroll Shelby's iconic 427 S/C with modern engineering, exceptional craftsmanship, and thrilling performance.
In the early 1960s, Carroll Shelby transformed the British AC Ace by installing an American V8, creating the legendary Cobra that changed sports car history. The Cobra's combination of lightweight construction and massive V8 power shocked the automotive world and became a symbol of American performance.
Superformance is one of the most respected Cobra builders and the only manufacturer licensed by Shelby Automotive. Built with incredible attention to detail, the Superformance MKIII is one of the most faithful recreations available, featuring the classic appearance and driving experience of the original while incorporating modern upgrades for reliability and safety.
The White exterior with Blue racing stripes captures the unmistakable Cobra look. The hand-laid fiberglass body, chrome details, knock-off wheels, side pipes, and classic proportions create the perfect blend of vintage race car styling and modern craftsmanship. New Cooper Cobra tires and a recent alignment make this Cobra ready for the road.
Inside, the cockpit features Black leather bucket seats, a wooden steering wheel, period-correct Smiths-style gauges, and a chrome roll bar. Every detail is designed to recreate the original Cobra experience while providing a comfortable and engaging driving environment.
Power comes from a freshened 351 Windsor V8 producing nearly 500 horsepower (Nov 2024), giving this lightweight 2,500-pound Cobra incredible performance. The Tremec 5-speed manual transmission delivers precise shifting, while the heavy-duty chassis and suspension provide confidence and control.
The Superformance MKIII chassis includes a box-tube frame, adjustable coilover suspension, rack-and-pinion steering, aluminum limited-slip differential, and Wilwood four-wheel power disc brakes. The result is a Cobra that offers exhilarating acceleration with modern drivability.
This 1965 Superformance Cobra MKIII is the ultimate combination of historic styling, Shelby-inspired performance, and modern craftsmanship. A rare opportunity to own a beautifully built Cobra replica that delivers the spirit of the original legendary machine.
