THE CAR

Central Classic Cars is proud to present this exceptionally finished 1965 Backdraft Roadster RT3, a beautifully executed Cobra-style roadster that combines timeless 1960s sports-car styling with modern drivability, carefully selected upgrades, and an extremely low 2,732 miles.

This example represents a custom 2019 build, with the chassis and options supplied by Backdraft Racing and the engine supplied and professionally installed by Speed Fanatix.

From its aggressive black exterior and iconic roadster proportions to its beautifully finished light cream/tan diamond-stitch leather interior, this car has the presence and craftsmanship that collectors and enthusiasts look for.

This is not simply a car built to look the part. It was assembled with a thoughtful combination of performance, comfort, reliability, and appearance upgrades, making it equally appealing as a serious collector vehicle, weekend cruiser, or centerpiece for any enthusiast's garage.

BUILD & EQUIPMENT

This RT3 features a Backdraft Racing RT3 chassis and carries Backdraft Racing Build #1867. The car was custom built in 2019, with the engine supplied and professionally installed by Speed Fanatix.

The equipment and upgrades include a 4-speaker audio system with remote, air conditioning, heater, CAM-lock style seatbelts, PPR rear fenders, roll bar delete, Raydot driver-side mirror, 18-inch wheels, power steering rack kit, power steering engine kit, ceramic-coated headers, upgraded aluminum radiator and shroud, and an upgraded aluminum fuel tank with an internal fuel pump.

The combination of these upgrades gives this roadster the look and character of a classic while adding modern conveniences and enhancements that make the driving experience considerably more enjoyable.

COLLECTOR APPEAL

The appeal of a Backdraft Roadster is the ability to enjoy the iconic shape and character of one of America's most legendary performance cars while benefiting from modern construction and carefully engineered components.

This particular example stands out because of its extremely low mileage, documented Backdraft Racing build number, 2019 custom build, tasteful specification, and impressive collection of upgrades.

The black-over-light-cream/tan color combination is especially striking. The diamond-stitch leather interior adds a level of sophistication that complements the aggressive exterior perfectly.

With only 2,732 miles, this is an opportunity for the next owner to acquire an exceptionally low-mile example that has seen very limited use.

WHY THIS ROADSTER DESERVES A CLOSER LOOK

With only 2,732 miles, Backdraft Racing Build #1867, a custom 2019 build, and an engine supplied and installed by Speed Fanatix, this RT3 offers a particularly compelling combination of provenance and presentation.

The desirable black exterior, light cream/tan diamond-stitch leather interior, 18-inch wheels, air conditioning, heater, power steering, upgraded aluminum cooling system, upgraded aluminum fuel tank with internal pump, ceramic-coated headers, and carefully selected comfort and performance options make this a very well-appointed example.

This is the kind of roadster that looks spectacular sitting still but was built to be enjoyed from behind the wheel.

A TRUE ENTHUSIAST'S ROADSTER

There is something timeless about the proportions of a classic Cobra-style roadster. Long hood, open cockpit, wide stance, muscular fenders, and a purpose-built performance appearance — this design has remained one of the most recognizable shapes in automotive history.

The Backdraft RT3 brings that unmistakable styling together with a modern chassis and a carefully selected list of options, creating a car that can appeal to both the collector and the driving enthusiast.

Whether displayed in a collection, taken to local Cars & Coffee events, or enjoyed on a winding summer road, this RT3 offers the opportunity to own something genuinely special.
