If you know these Factory Produced Backdraft Cobra’s with high-end craftsmanship, you know a few important key points… They are Very Hot, HARD TO FIND, Very Collectable, Eye-Catching, offers an unbelievable driving experience, trendy and extremely fast! While it looks, rides and drives like a new almost 6-figure priced Backdraft, it will be bought for a fraction of that and little expense was spared during its build. Well maintained and everything works as it should.

This Backdraft Cobra body & chassis was completed in September 2010 and went into service with its drivetrain in in 2010. It comes with the full Factory Backdraft Manual with all details as well as the complete folder of details.

To sit in the seats is a Serious RUSH and while it gets the job done quickly, it is engineered to drive anywhere with confidence. Take it to shows, cruises short and long, power tours, etc… drive with complete confidence!

Things work as they should including but not limited to Headlight/Taillights, Signals, Interior dash, Gauges, Wipers, Horn, Heater (Yes, it has an added cost Heater) etc… Get in, hit the key, smile at the rumble and hit the road smiling…that is all it takes to have fun in this one… Note: It comes with temporary Cockpit cover that allows you to travel with confidence.

Is this Cobra perfect? No and none of them are… the only thing that comes to mind is a small paint blemish in a place or two from driving… you have to search to find it. I am stretching to find something here. I am selling two or three of my cars due to space to make room for more that are stored at a friends house.

I reserve the right to end this auction early due to having it for sale locally... I am pricing my Cobra to sell and believe it will not last long so do not hesitate to buy it now (BIN) and please do so with absolute confidence!
