Backdraft Racing Inc. was founded in January 2001 by a couple of Champion LeMan racers, Tony Martin and Reg Dodd, and their desire for high performance is evident in the quality of their product. With a passion for racing and cars the company has evolved considerably over the past 20 years to establish itself as one of the industry leaders in producing the ultimate Shelby replica cars. This example was purchased new in 2010 and is powered by a Ford Roush 427CID monster that's fed by a FAST EFI set up & is teamed up to a Tremec TKO 600 5-speed manual transmission, a BMW E36 Independent Rear End, Posi rear end and adjustable coil-overs on all 4 corners, so it certainly has no issue putting all that power down on the pavement!

The interior features a classic black leather upholstery on the bucket seats along with a color-coordinated dashboard, door panels, and carpets. Equipment includes an under-dash mounted FAST EFI controller, high end VDO gauges, a dashboard-mounted rearview mirror, four-point harnesses, sun visors, door pockets and a super good looking set of polished CCW wheels with Nitto rubber.
