1965 SHELBY COBRA CSX 4000 ROADSTER
Commissioned by Carroll Shelby, the CSX 4000 Continuation Series was everything the legendary 427 Cobras are and more. This example was built on the same line as CSX 3031, which was among the very few that were finished to Semi-Competition S/C specifications, and is finished in Blue with white side pipe exhaust. Built at Shelby American Las Vegas, this early car was the 21st Cobra sold to the public. It’s rolling chassis was completed April 23, 1997, and its 428ci SCJ V8 engine was built by noted engine builder, Stan Johnson of Ford Powertrain Puyallup, WA. The engine is equipped with a fully balanced rotating assembly with resized LeMans rods, aluminum Cobra Jet heads by Bliss, Blue Thunder aluminum intake with correct Holley 780 carburetor with Turkey Baster, and sends power through a Toploader 4-speed manual transmission with 3.54 Dana rear end. CSX4031 features correct Lucas wiring and lights, Galaxie reversed shifter and black leather interior, Trigo chrome knock-off wheels, chrome quick jacks and roll bar, remote filter, correct 15-inch Shelby steering wheel, and a fiberglass body with aluminum dress-up kit, including fender wells and trunk. This Cobra was featured in two Xbox 360 games, Project Gotham Racing 4 and Forza Motorsports 3. It’s a two-owner car with all documentation and receipts, including the original copy of the MSO signed by Carroll Shelby. It’s listed in the new Cobra Registry and the dash is signed by Peter Brock and Allen Grant. A select offering from a private collection. **TITLED AS A 1997 SHELBY REPLICA** Mileage is on chassis. Engine has been rebuilt within 1000 miles.
This Shelby is from my personal collection and is the most well documented Shelby CSX I have ever seen. There are receipts for EVERYTHING on the car, along with a copy of the original Shelby build documents signed by Shelby himself. Absolute collectors dream! I can help with financing through a dealer partner if necessary.
