Unapologetically Bold: Signature Autosports Brings the Thunder With An Immaculate
1965 Shelby Cobra Replica Backdraft RT4B Roadster — #MT1051A

17 April 2025 by Signature Autosports, Castle Hayne, North Carolina

Signature Autosports in Castle Hayne, North Carolina, is proud to present an immaculate 1965 Shelby® Cobra® Replica Backdraft® RT4B Roadster—boasting just over 300 miles on the odometer and built for those who crave vintage looks, modern muscle, and all-out adrenaline.

Every Backdraft® RT4B Roadster is a hand-built, limited-production machine—engineered over years of development into a race-proven, high-performance sports car. With classic '60s lines and fully independent suspension, the RT4B delivers an unbeatable blend of styling, drivability, and sheer fun. It’s quick. It’s composed. It’s absolutely unapologetic.

POWERTRAIN & PERFORMANCE

Beneath the forward-tilting hood lies a Prestige® 427 cubic inch Ford V8, delivering a thunderous 525 horsepower and over 500 lb•ft of torque. The high-performance aluminum radiator and 16-inch electric fan keep things cool, even when the action heats up. A Tremec® TKX five-speed manual transmission channels all that power through a Ford Super 8.8” rear differential with 3.55 gears—bringing brutal acceleration and old-school driving thrills to the 1,900-pound chassis. This isn’t just a car. It’s a cannonball.

EXTERIOR DETAILS

Finished in Black Magic with bold Race Red Le Mans stripes, this 2024 RT4B Black Edition embraces its “Black-Out” theme with powder- and ceramic-coated accents throughout. Stainless steel ceramic-coated 4-into-1 side-exit exhaust pipes with perforated heat shields make their presence known, both visually and audibly. Up front and out back, you’ll find quick-jacks for the track, LED headlights, and clear front turn signals. The 18-inch Halibrand®-style knock-off alloy wheels wear sticky Nitto® NT555® G2™ tires—245/40ZR18 front, 295/40ZR18 rear—for maximum grip and a menacing stance.

INTERIOR FEATURES

The cockpit is equally race-ready, with low-back black leather bucket seats featuring red diamond stitching and matching red Sabelt® 4-point quick-release harnesses. A suede-wrapped Sabelt® steering wheel fronts a carbon fiber dashboard fascia loaded with Autometer® GT Series gauges. There’s a dash-mounted rear view mirror, tinted sun visors, and premium black carpet with bound edges for a clean, finished look. This car is configured with the “Big & Tall” package, offering a dropped footbox, reworked seat design, and a driver’s side seat slider to accommodate taller enthusiasts.

CHASSIS, SUSPENSION & BRAKING

Engineered for performance, the RT4B features a front coilover suspension and multi-link independent rear suspension with coilover shocks—delivering razor-sharp handling and compliant ride quality. Red brake calipers clamp down on power disc brakes at all four corners for sure-footed stopping power. The hydraulic clutch adds a smooth yet responsive feel to every shift, while a stainless steel, frame-mounted roll bar (powder-coated black) provides both safety and style.

ADDITIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

• Le Mans-style fuel filler cap

• Stainless steel expansion tank + engine side vents

• Stainless steel engine bay cladding

• Wind wings + sun visors

• Windshield wipers

• Trunk-mounted battery + isolator switch

• Black anodized billet aluminum side mirrors

Every detail is dialed in for performance, presence, and pride of ownership.
