SBX Cars is proud to offer for sale this 1965 Superformance Cobra 427, showing just 19 miles (31 km) on the odometer at the time of cataloging. Finished in Tuxedo Black with silver racing stripes over a black leather interior, this example captures the menacing presence of Carroll Shelby’s legendary roadster while benefiting from modern craftsmanship and engineering.

Built by Superformance as an official CSX car, this Cobra is not a replica but a faithful continuation of the original 1960s design. The wide-body 427 S/C silhouette is defined by flared fenders, side-exit exhaust pipes, quick-jack bumperettes, and a polished roll bar - combining to create one of the most recognizable shapes in American performance history.

Power comes from a Roush-built 427SR V8 that has been professionally dyno-tuned to produce 550 horsepower, paired with a close-ratio Tremec 5-speed manual transmission. With minimal weight, immense power, and the elemental experience of an open cockpit, this spectacular Cobra delivers the raw, visceral driving character that made the original cars legendary.
