1965 427-Powered Backdraft Racing RT4 Roadster 5-Speed
This Backdraft Racing RT4 Classic Edition is finished in Mercedes Silver with black stripes over black leather upholstery and is powered by an Iconic 427ci V8 linked with a Tremec TKX five-speed manual transmission and an 8.8″ Ford independent rear axle. Equipment includes a single roll hoop, a hood scoop, side-exit exhaust pipes, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, 18″ Halibrand-style wheels, independent suspension, adjustable coilovers, and four-wheel disc brakes. The current owner purchased the car in 2022 and has since added approximately 2,500 miles. This RT4 Classic Edition is now offered by the seller on behalf of the owner in New Jersey with a build specification document, an engine dyno sheet, and a Montana title in the name of an LLC describing the vehicle as a 1965 Backdraft Roadster.
The bodywork is finished in Mercedes Silver with black stripes, and exterior equipment includes a single roll hoop, a hood scoop, a windshield frame-mounted side mirror, quick jack bumperettes, and side-exit exhaust pipes with perforated heat shields. Paint protection film has been applied to the front nose, rear quarter panels, and the upper portions of the doors.
Halibrand-style 18″ wheels are secured with safety-wired three-eared knockoffs and are mounted with Nitto NT555 G2 tires measuring 245/40 up front and 295/40 out back. The car is equipped with four-wheel independent suspension and adjustable coilovers. Stopping power is handed by four-wheel disc brakes.
The cockpit features bucket seats upholstered in black leather with silver stitching and embroidered Backdraft Racing logos. Matching upholstery extends to the transmission tunnel and door panels, the latter of which feature map pockets and pull straps. Additional interior elements include a keyed push-button ignition, Sabelt cam-lock harnesses, tinted visors, a battery cut-off switch, and a dashboard-mounted rearview mirror.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel fronts a 200-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and readouts for oil pressure, oil temperature, coolant temperature, voltage, and fuel level. The digital odometer shows 2,500 miles.
