1965 Backdraft Racing 427SC Roadster. BDR333. Ferrari Rossa (Red)/Alpine White stripes. Clear title. Richly-appointed… and this pristine beauty has accumulated less than 15,600 miles [±25,100 km].”

This li’l red reptile is a joy to behold and a visceral thrill to drive… it’s already lurking in its stable in Canada (BC), so it’s ready to roll on Canadian pavement!

Serious inquiries only, please!

4 July 2024: Dear Cobra Country: You can mark my red Backdraft Cobra SOLD. I received numerous replies, mostly from fellow (Westerner) Canadians, but also a few from the states. It sold…and very quickly… going to a new stable and a lucky new owner in picturesque Victoria (on Vancouver Island, British Columbia). You can color us both (seller and buyer) happy campers! Many thanks for your indispensable help in putting our ad together for the Canadian market. Denise Balbirnie
