Modeled after the legendary 1965 Shelby Cobra, this Backdraft Racing RT4B Roadster was reportedly constructed in South Africa in 2021 and finished in Lamborghini Grigio Telesto Metallic over a black and yellow interior. Power is provided by a 427ci Stroker V8 mated to a Tremec TKO 5-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Features include side-exit exhaust pipes, 17” Hallibrand-style wheels, low-back bucket seats, a MOMO steering wheel, and more. Showing approximately 3k miles on the odometer, this Backdraft Cobra is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Tennessee.
The RT4B features lightweight fiberglass bodywork over a powder-coated steel frame. Finished in Lamborghini Grigio Telesto Metallic with black and yellow racing stripes, this example equips black quick-jack bumperettes, a black driver’s roll hoop, a hood scoop, black Le Mans-style fuel cap, Raydyot-style mirrors, custom fender emblems, ceramic-coated side pipes, and 18” matte black Hallibrand-style knock-off wheels. Paint protection film has been applied to the front end, tops of the doors, and behind the doors. A few touched-up rock chips are noted, and a clean CARFAX report is provided in the gallery.
The cockpit presents black leather upholstery complemented with yellow accents. Equipment includes an Alcantara-wrapped MOMO flat-bottom steering wheel, a yellow-faced RPM tachometer, a dashboard-mounted rearview mirror, a fire extinguisher, a locking passenger’s side glovebox, and Backdraft Racing-branded floor mats.
Power comes from a 427ci Stroker V8 crate engine generating a reported 515 HP and 585 lb-ft of torque. The rear wheels are driven through a Tremec TKO 5-speed manual transmission and limited-slip differential. The seller states the vehicle was last serviced in September 2024, which included an oil change and all filters replaced.
This Backdraft Racing Shelby Cobra Replica is offered with a registration.
The seller would like you to know: “Great car and the best time you will spend in an automobile. If you want to be noticed, this is the car for you. At Cars and Coffee, people tend to approach this vehicle before looking at a Ferrari sitting beside it. Thank you for visiting this auction and know that this car is stock based on the manufacturer. The car has been kept in a climate-controlled garage since the purchase.”

@SignsbyJMHarley Thanks John for your interest in the Cobra.The cup holders ,the tray at the rear of the console and the Bluetooth radio were all installed after the purchase.The cost of parts and installation was $4000 dollars
The blue tooth radio works off your phone or iPad with a log in you can play everything from iTunes to youtube.It has a great sound that can be heard over the sound of the exhaust pipes without having to turn the volume wide open.
As far as waiting for transport there would be no charge for whatever time was needed to secure proper transportation.The car is covered with a car cover to be included and the garage is climate controlled.No one has excess to the garage but me and car would be safe and not touched.
Thanks admfain for inquiring and don't hesitate to contact me with further guestions.
Good morning JGM37660
Real quickly did you install the cup holders and does it have a cd player or radio. I like the car. I did order on the Frank at Backdraft Motor Sports. It's 8 months out because I ordered a special color. Anyway lets see where this goes. Also how long can the car sit at your place while a person is waiting for a enclosed car shipper.
Thanks John

This one has all the options you want, even the needed PPF I’m having done on mine as we speak. The power steering is something I’m really jealous of.
Bid in the amount of $45,000
The car does have power steering and the warranty period is over.Thanks for inquiring.....
Does the car have power steering this is an option with Backdraft. Also is there any warranty left on the car.
Thanks
