Description
Overview 1965 Shelby Cobra 427 Roadster MKIII Hillbank Motorsports is proud to present SP03938, a beautifully spec'd Superformance MKIII Roadster finished in Ford Gem Green with an Amarotta interior, powered by a Roush 427 SR with fuel injection and backed by a Tremec TKX 5-speed. Classic Cobra presence, modern drivability, and the right options to make it an absolute standout.The Superformance MKIII is a meticulously engineered and crafted reproduction of the original, built under license from Carroll Shelby Licensing Inc. No expense is spared in recreating the authentic sports car experience, with a focus on quality components and craftsmanship that have helped these cars maintain strong resale value over time.The MKIII platform is built around a jig-welded heavy-wall 2” x 4” rectangular steel ladder-frame chassis featuring incorporated front and rear crumple zones, with the body bonded to the chassis for a solid, precise feel. The car features hand-laid fiberglass panels with reinforcements in key load areas, plus a show-quality two-stage paint finish.Performance and drivability are core to the MKIII design, with fully independent front and rear suspension, premium coil-over shocks and springs, rack-and-pinion steering, and power-assisted vented disc brakes. Superformance also builds these as complete, high-quality component packages—fully assembled minus engine and transmission—making them an ideal foundation for a properly finished, turn-key build.This MKIII Roadster is finished in an eye-catching Ford Gem Green and paired with a premium Amarotta interior, giving it a high-end, tailored look that still feels true to the car's vintage roots. Power comes from a Roush 427 SR with fuel injection, matched to a Tremec TKX 5-speed for a responsive, driver-focused experience. The Roadster configuration is complemented by roadster bumpers and a custom undercar exhaust, delivering a cleaner look and a more touring-friendly setup while still keeping the attitude these cars are known for. It's also equipped with comfort and usability upgrades including air conditioning, LED headlights, and a fire extinguisher, along with open-air flexibility thanks to the included soft top and tonneau cover. The stance is dialed-in with 18” black chrome tinted wheels wrapped in Nitto NT555 tires (275/35R18 front, 335/30R18 rear), and it's further enhanced with an oil cooler with shroud and Superformance electronic gauges to round out a very complete, thoughtfully spec'd build.Available now for $169,900 at Hillbank Motorsports in Jupiter, Florida, offered on MSO (Manufacturer's Statement of Origin).
