Backdraft Racing 427SC Cobra, professionally-built one-owner serpent with 2,073 miles since I took delivery in June of 2005, this fine driving machine has never been abused, always pampered.

Fully carpeted cockpit. Bucket seats upholstered in premium quality leather with driver's seat adjustment slider. Dual four-point racing harnesses.

Upgraded Backdraft Racing floormats, battery cutoff switch.

This is an awe-inspiring roadway reptile, outfitted with a polished 408 stroker/ 530 horsepower powerplant. It's equipped with countless upgrades that add to its value; in the process I've invested well over $50,000. Unfortunately college tuition is forcing a quick sale. You would be getting more than your money's worth. My loss is your gain.
