The cockpit is outfitted with…

  • fine black leather upholstery
  • AutoMeter vintage-style blackfaced gauges and ‘correct’ reverse-winding speedometer
  • rich black wool carpeting edged with black piping
  • new Crow 4-point racing harnesses for both driver & passenger
  • adjustable seat slider for driver’s seat
  • chromed fire extinguisher [quick-release mounted beneath the dash on the tunnel]
  • windwings and sun visors
  • driver-side SS (stainless steel) chassis-mounted rollbar

The Backdraft Racing cockpit is a bit more spacious than most other Cobras, enhancing your driving and touring comfort. Taller drivers can easily slip behind the wheel of a Backdraft Cobra, given its additional legroom and kneeroom.
