I just bought a Backdraft Cobra at Barrett-Jackson! I had always admired Cobras from afar, but seeing a lot of cobbled kit cars I never looked too close. While attending Barrett-Jackson with a well known collector, he suggested I look at some of the higher end Cobra replicas, thinking there was some good value to be had.
We looked at several Cobra manufacturers, including Superformance, Backdraft and Factory Five. I was blown away by the quality of these replicas. I settled on the Backdraft #1792 in black with grey stripes and a Roush 427R. Went home, thought about it and made an offer. I should have the car delivered to Texas in a few weeks.
Coming from the Porsche world, I never thought I would walk out of there with a Cobra. I hope this car will scratch the itch for a raw, all business sports car. I haven’t felt since I sold my old 930.
