The Shelby Cobra is arguably the most iconic American sports car ever conceived, a brutal marriage of British lightweight roadster and potent American V8 power. Carroll Shelby’s vision to defeat Ferrari on the world stage led to the AC Ace chassis being re-engineered to accept Ford’s small-block V8, creating a legend that dominated racetracks and captivated enthusiasts. The original 427 S/C models, produced in limited numbers in the mid-1960s, are among the most valuable collector cars in existence. Recognizing the enduring demand and historical significance, Shelby American launched the CSX Continuation series, offering enthusiasts the opportunity to own a brand-new Cobra built to original specifications, complete with a genuine Shelby serial number. This particular example is CSX #6113 from the CSX6000 series, a line dedicated to faithfully recreating the legendary 427 S/C. Though titled as a 1965 model, reflecting its historical inspiration, this car was produced in 2014, making it a modern interpretation built with contemporary precision while maintaining historical accuracy. With a mere 0 miles on the odometer, this Cobra is a blank canvas, ready for its first owner to embark on a thrilling journey. It comes equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission, promising an engaging and visceral driving experience true to the Cobra spirit. This is a rare chance to acquire a factory-sanctioned Shelby Cobra Continuation car, ready for its engine and its maiden voyage.
