This Ruby Red Backdraft RT4 Cobra replica is being sold by (Authorized Colorado Backdraft Dealer) Summit Classic Cars. To be specific, the color scheme is Ruby Red with Black Magic side stripes & LeMans longitudinal stripes. Eye Candy extraordinaire! Looks like it’s barreling down The Mulsanne Straight when it’s standing still.

In Colorado it’s titled as  a 1965 TRTE** Roadster [TRTE is the corporate name of Backdraft Racing in South Africa].

In Backdraft’s occupant-friendly/gran turismo cockpit:

  • rich (and supple) black leather upholstery
  • Backdraft Racing vintage-style blackfaced gauges
  • rich black wool carpeting edged with black piping
  • 4-point racing harnesses for both driver & passenger
  • adjustable seat slider for driver’s seat
  • 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 Roadster, given its additional legroom and kneeroom.

This Ruby Red reptile also has a glovebox, chromed fire extinguisher (mounted on the bulkhead between the seatbacks), under-dash heater, heated seats, seatbelts (cam style) and harnesses, clear bra door tops and rear quarter panels and full front nose.
