For Sale: Authentic 1965 Classic – A True Collector's Gem
This is your chance to own a piece of automotive history. Manufactured in 1965 and first registered in December of that year, this rare classic is one of the few original models produced in 1965. A true icon for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
Key Features:
• Authenticity Restored: Originally built for competition with FIA-approved wheels, this car was restored to its original state in 2023 after arriving in Dubai. The restoration included bringing back the FIA wheels, original seats, safety belts, and the official Shelby Cobra 427 racing blue of 1965 (Guardsman Blue with white Le Mans stripes)—matching the official Shelby team cars from that year.
• Unique History: The car suffered a major race accident in the early 1980s and was rebuilt for street use. During this period, Weld Rodlite wheels, modern seats, and a wooden dashboard with street gauges were installed. Despite these modifications, key components such as the engine, gearbox, gear lever, and chassis remained original.
• Complete Package: The car is sold with its original FIA wheels and comes with the set of four 1980 Rodlite wheels. Additionally, it includes two covers: the original beige one and a brand-new black cover for added protection and style.
