01 · the starting point
RT4 Classic Edition
The car the rest of the decisions happen to. Everything below follows from this one choice.
From $66,900
Backdraft Cobras · built to order
Nobody buys one of these off a lot.
Every car leaves here as the sum of decisions someone made on purpose — body, engine, interior, the sound it makes. Start with a finished one, or start with a blank sheet.

RT4B Black Edition
Same car underneath, finished dark, and the options that come with it are the ones you can hear and grab.
From $70,500
03 · down the side
Ceramic-coated side pipes and roll bars
The two parts you hear and the two you grab getting in. Coated black, at build time, not afterwards.
Option Ceramic-coated

Eighteen-inch rims, matte black
The last thing chosen and the first thing seen from ten feet away.
Diameter 18 in
Inventory
Two to four at a time
Which is why each one gets a page's worth of room rather than a cell in a grid. When a car is gone it is gone; nothing is reordered to look busier.

The factory takes these decisions over the phone. Here you can see them, one at a time, with the car turning to face whichever one you are making.

Who we are
Forty years of putting people in cars that should not exist
Midwest Cobras builds, sells, services and moves Backdraft Cobras. The work is the same work it has always been: a car arrives as parts and leaves as somebody's.
Services
After it is yours
Tune-up and service
These are not cars a general workshop sees twice a year. Setup, carburetion, cooling, brakes and the annual going-over, done by people who have the car's own build sheet in front of them.
Transportation
Enclosed transport to and from the shop, to an event, or to a new owner. The car does not arrive on an open trailer behind somebody's pickup.
Consignment
Already have one
If the car is going to change hands, it is worth it changing hands properly — photographed, described accurately, and shown to people who already know what they are looking at.
