About this Vehicle

1965 Superformance MKIII Cobra
In 1961, due to health concerns, Carroll Shelby was forced to hang up his racing helmet and began selling sports cars to racers around the southwest United States. Primarily focused on Maserati, Shelby decided fairly quickly that he wanted to develop his own sports car that would be equally at home on the street and the race track. The formula was simple- Shelby would find a lightweight roadster and place a large American V8 in the front, attach a robust gearbox and tweak the suspension to handle all the extra power. After approaching and subsequently being turned down by multiple car manufacturers, AC Cars out of the UK agreed to supply Shelby with a few of their Ace roadsters. At the same time, an engine program was developed with Ford agreeing to send Shelby a few of their high performance V8s for the project and by mid-1962, the first Cobra was completed. Immediately the car was a sensation and began demolishing competition at race tracks- the engines moved from 260 cubic inches to 289 and finally, in 1965, the 427. For the 427 engined cars, the entire chassis was significantly redesigned and the bodywork was flared to accept wider tires and side exhaust was added on the majority of the cars. Between 1961 and 1968, Shelby produced only 998 Cobras and they have become one of the most sought after collector cars today.
In light of their desirability and reasonably simple formula, a whole slew of manufacturers began producing replicas in the 1980s and 1990s. The quality varied but a few brands quickly rose to the top as the best- and Superformance was one of those. Superformance is the only company building recreations with permission from Carroll Shelby and many were used in the filming of the 2019 blockbuster Ford Vs Ferrari. This 2003 example perfectly exemplifies what the company is capable of and is as fantastic to look at as it is to drive.
This Cobra was built and originally sold by Southern Automotive in Atlanta, GA who was the authorized Superformance dealer at the time. Painted in a classic yet contemporary shade of metallic gray with black stripes, the car presents as immaculately today as it did when it was purchased new in 2003. When Southern Automotive was building this example, they specced the car with a true 427FE big block which they then built out to produce over 500 horsepower. All of that power is routed through a Tremec-5 Speed manual gearbox to the rear wheels and without any driver aids, makes for an exhilarating experience behind the wheel. Showing just 4,485 miles from new, this is a perfect opportunity to get into a nearly new Cobra for a fraction of the price of an original!
