1965 Backdraft Racing 427SC Roadster. Prism Red/silver stripes, BDR#0187.

Richly-appointed… and this pristine beauty has accumulated less than 9,300 miles [<15,000 km].

This bucket-list Cobra is a stunning, e-ticket drivin’ machine! It’s a smooth street cruiser & canyon carver, but can be an absolute beast when you drop the hammer. It is VERY nimble, VERY fast, and corners like it’s glued to the pavement.

Note (16 December 2022): actually this Cobra was first registered (under California’s SB-100 in January, 2008, and thus won’t become eligible for Canada registration for another month (January, 2023).
