We will start off with the exterior of this Backdraft. The body is one of the most well-built Cobra replica options on the market. It is clear to see the thoughtfulness that went into designing it as everything has stunning lines and a phenomenal fit. It's showcased in the Indigo Blue Paint Scheme with the Wimbledon White Stripes. The base coat clear coat paint has been buffed and polished out to an impressive finish that's slick to the touch. Once the polish was done it was professional ceramic coated to give you a lasting finish. It's accented by the Chrome Rollbar, stainless steel quick jacks, Sun visors and wings, removable hood scoop, stainless steel side vent, lemans styled gas cap, and of course the stainless-steel side pipes with heat shield. To finish off the exterior it sports the 18” Knock Off Wheels with Falken Tires 245/40/18 on the Front and 295/40/18 on the rear.
Next, we will look at the interior of this Cobra. On the inside, it's done in the upgraded option featuring black with white stripe buckets with custom stitching. We can see the same custom stitching is carried over to the center console that houses that 5-speed shifter and kill switch. This is a big and tall package that features a drop-down floor for more legroom while driving. It has the 7-gauge cluster with black faces that are all working as they should along with having the woodgrain accented steering wheel. You'll also notice it's optioned with the glove box as well. It has the Sabelt harness style seat belts with the driver side and dash mounted mirrors. Inside the trunk is all very nice and detailed out with the same eye to detail apparent in the rest of the Backdraft styling.
Finally, we will get to the driveline of this Shelby Cobra. Under the hood, we can see that it has a stunning appearance that's rooted in the ground-pounding power of the 427 Engine from Iconic. This 500HP rated V8 is built with Scat H Beam Rods, Lunati Forged Crank 4-inch stroke with Mahle Forged Pistons, Prestige Aluminum Heads, Prestige Roller Cam, and Comp Hydraulic Roller Lifter kit with Scorpion Racing Roller Rockers. It's got the Edelbrock Intake and Holley 770 Street Avenger Carb. It's dressed in the Ford Racing Valve Covers and the Iconic Oval Air Cleaner.
