The Shelby Cobra, a car born from Carroll Shelby's audacious vision to wed American V8 power with a lightweight British AC Ace chassis, became an instant icon of performance and a legend on both road and track. The 427 S/C (Semi-Competition) variant, introduced in 1965, pushed this concept to its extreme. With its massively flared fenders accommodating wider tires and a big-block Ford 427 cubic inch engine, the S/C was essentially a detuned race car barely legal for the street. Only 31 examples of the original 427 S/C were built, making them exceedingly rare and valuable, cementing their status as one of the most revered and collectible American sports cars ever created. This particular Contemporary Classic 427 S/C Cobra Roadster, production number CCX34005, stands as a testament to the enduring appeal and meticulous craftsmanship of Peter Bayer's Contemporary Classic Motor Car Company. Titled and registered as a 1967 Shelby Cobra, this roadster embodies the spirit and thunderous presence of the original, showcasing the attention to detail that made Contemporary Cobras among the most respected recreations. With just 13,271 miles on the odometer, this example is presented in a stunning Bright Racing Green Mecca Pearl, accented by classic silver 'rookie' racing stripes, perfectly capturing the aesthetic of a Golden Age FIA racer. This is an opportunity to experience the legendary Shelby Cobra ethos in a meticulously crafted and highly regarded interpretation.
