1965 Cobra Superformance – Indigo Blue with Wimbledon White Stripes
This stunning 1965 Cobra Superformance (SPO #3229), built in 2017 and with the drivetrain installed in May 2019, is a one-owner car with only 702 miles on the odometer. A high-performance machine, it features a Roush 427R small block polished engine, paired with a dual-disc clutch kit and a Tremec 5-speed 4617 transmission. The car also boasts a number of premium features, including 427 Cobra side emblems, Cobra round hood and trunk emblems, and a braided line upgrade in the engine compartment. The wheels have been force-balanced, and the car includes a chrome 3″ fire extinguisher with mounting hardware, an expansion tank, and Ventureshield clear rear fender protection.
Performance features include a freshly built 427 Cobra engine, dual-disc clutch kit, and Tremec 5-speed transmission. The chassis is built to last, with a heavy-duty TIG welded ladder frame and crumple zones. For superior handling, it features fully independent front and rear suspension, coil-over shocks, and Wilwood power-assisted vented disc brakes. The car is also equipped with an oil cooler and braided lines, and the stainless steel 17-gallon fuel tank is pressure-tested for reliability.
The car has been meticulously crafted with show-quality paint finishes, a hand-laminated fiberglass body, and reinforcing inserts. The interior includes hand-made leather seating, original style pedals, and a Moto-Lita wooden steering wheel. It features original style gauges by Smiths, Lucas switches, and a reverse 180mph speedometer. A stainless steel roll bar adds safety and style, and the original-style side pipes and headers complement the V8 engine’s performance.
