1965 Shelby Cobra

Superformance MKIII SP02952

Good times are a quick turn of the ignition key away in this high-impact Superformance MKIII (SP02952) roadster. This head-turning sports car is finished in “Shelby” black with silver stripes, accented by 18-inch black center pin-drive Shelby wheels. Exterior detailing includes a hood scoop, competition style bumper jacks, driver's-side roll hoop, fender-mounted side mirrors, and wing windows.

Under the long hood resides a Roush 402SR (6.6L) V8, rated at 480 hp and 480 lbs/ft of torque. Key components include 2-piece billet Roush valve covers, a Roush open element air cleaner, black intake manifold, braided stainless steel lines, MSD ignition, and headers feeding the side pipes. The car has a Roush shifter connected to the robust Tremec TKO 500 5-speed manual transmission. Wilwood disc brakes bring the car down from speed in a blink. With the melding of Shelby and Roush influences, the car is adorned with badges from both companies.

The interior is outfitted for driving fun, with 4-point harnesses for the driver and passenger bucket seats, and Smiths gauges, including a 180 mph reverse speedometer. The wood-rimmed steering wheel, Superformance floor mats, and Carroll Shelby signature on the glove box door add warmth and character to the cockpit.

The Superformance MKIII is a meticulously engineered and crafted reproduction of the original, built under license from Carroll Shelby Licensing Inc., ensuring an authentic sports car experience.

SP02952 was built in 2009. It is titled as 2009 SPCN in Montana with 12,845 miles and is available for only $99,950.
