Description
We are proud to present this exceptional 1965 Superformance MKIII Cobra, chassis #SP03538, showing just 673 miles. Finished in a striking charcoal grey over a black leather interior, this under-exhaust roadster is a stunning and faithful recreation of Carroll Shelbys legendary 427 Cobra street car, blending iconic 1960s design with modern precision engineering.
Superformance has been a leader in continuation and replica race cars since 1994, earning a reputation for outstanding craftsmanship, accuracy, and quality. Built in partnership with Hi-Tech Automotive, the worlds largest specialty car manufacturer, each Superformance MKIII is a factory-assembled rolling chassis constructed entirely from new components. Known as the most sought-after continuation Cobra in the United States, these cars are celebrated for their meticulous attention to detail, exceptional fit and finish, and historically accurate proportions.
This particular MKIII pays homage to Shelbys personal 427 street car (CSX3178), featuring distinctive elements such as a clean hood design without a scoop, no roll bar, a grille splitter, glovebox, unique dashboard layout, and correct-style 15-inch Sunburst wheels. The result is a refined and authentic interpretation of one of the most valuable Cobras ever produced.
Power comes from a professionally built and dyno-tested 427 cubic inch Ford FE big block, assembled by renowned engine builder Ernie Elliott. The engine has been fully rebuilt, balanced, and detailed, featuring chrome Penthouse valve covers, electronic ignition, and a stock-style air cleaner. Power is delivered through a TKX 5-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential, paired with a high-performance Kevlar clutch and custom-balanced driveshaft, offering an exhilarating and engaging driving experience.
Additional features and options include a tonneau cover, door straps, spats, fitted floor mats, 12-volt kill switch, battery charger, overflow tank, insulation, period-correct emblems, rearview mirror, fire extinguisher, and stainless steel bumperettes with overriders. Every detail reflects the craftsmanship and authenticity that define the Superformance name.
Built in October 2021, this MKIII Cobra represents a rare opportunity to own a beautifully executed continuation car that captures the spirit and performance of the original Shelby Cobra, while offering the reliability and refinement of modern construction. With extremely low mileage and exceptional presentation, chassis SP03538 is ready to be enjoyed on the road or displayed as a standout piece in any collection.
