Description:

Authentic 1965 Shelby Cobra 427SC Continuation built by Carroll Shelby.
CSX4948
The Shelby Cobra is arguably one of the world's most famous and recognizable sports cars today. Today's CSX 4000 Series 427 S/C component vehicles from Shelby Automobiles, Inc. are everything the 1965 models were and more. The authenticity of each vehicle is documented by Shelby CSX numbers and a manufacturer's Statement of Origin (MSO) from Shelby American signed by Carroll Shelby himself. Era correct coloring Wimbleton White with Guardsman Blue stripes. This is one of the last to be built and SIGNED by Carroll Shelby. The man sat in this car! Official Shelby registry and titled in Utah as SHELBY COBRA with VIN CXS4948. Copy of original MSO signed by Carroll. Like all of the authentic Continuation Series Cobras, this one was sold by Shelby American without an engine and transmission (called a “roller”) and ready to finish with the powertrain of your choice. As a roller this sells for $100k+. Finished by Gregory Motorsports. An authentic 1960’s Cast Iron Ford FE block was located and built to spec. The block alone is a collector item and worth a fortune. Producing incredible power, known for running 0-60 in under 4 seconds. Careful consideration was put in to get this gem to as close to the original build as you can get. Holley carburetor, ceramic-coated side pipes, aluminum radiator, electric cooling fans, oil cooler, Tremec TKO 5-speed gearbox, 4” round-tube frame, Halibrand-styled knockoff wheels with street legal tires, coil-over, rack & pinion, Shelby race-quality brakes, SS rollbar, 'correct' reverse-winding speedometer, original-style hardwood steering wheel, fiberglass body, Carroll Shelby's personal autograph on glovebox door! Less than 300 miles. Dry climate stored and like-new. If you're looking for a real Shelby Cobra, built by Shelby American, Signed by The Man, but don't want to invest a million dollars plus, here's a way to do it.
