1965 Shelby Cobra MkIII built by Superformance. Its Silver paint with black racing stripes is in near showroom condition. This car is a true dream to drive and a real conversation piece.

It’s equipped with a Ford stroker Windsor 427 engine paired with a Tremec 5550 five-speed transmission. It looks and sounds awesome. All necessary maintenance completed yearly. This year all fluids, oil pan gasket, clutch slave cylinder and brand-new Mickey Thompson ‘Sportsman S/T’  rubber installed. Updates such as stronger rear shock mounts were replaced in 2018 along with shocks, springs and swaybars… all very common and effective updates on older Superformance Cobras.

With this serpent you also get…

  • comes with factory soft top with sliding glass windows that I have never installed.
  • inside car cover and a “just in car” all weather cover that has never been used.
  • factory black tonneau cover and custom color matched tonneau cover are included as well.
  • Lead hammer for wheel lug also included.
