Since the end of the nineties, the creator of the iconic Cobra, Carroll Shelby, builds continuation models strictly identical to the original Cobra of the 60's. The 427 S/C CSX4000 is built from the same specifications as the original Cobra 427 equipped with an enormous 7 liter V8 engine. These CSX4000 Cobra are of course everything the 65 models were and even more. They are built on a 65 like chassis but much stronger. Other enhancements have been made, like a better cooling system, a modern gearbox, enhanced suspensions (built like the original ones), and a better steering.

The car we are proud to offer is a Cobra 427 S/C built by Shelby. It is one of the few Continuation Cobra built in aluminium. The engine is a genuine period 427 Side oiler with a medium riser intake, Edelbrock aluminum heads, forged cranshaft and Holley 750 carburettor. The gearbox is a period correct 4 speed Toploader. The fuel tank is an aluminum 42 Gallons one. The car is salso equipped with black headers and side pipes, Girling brakes, and Smith gauges with reverse speedo. This car could not be closer to an original one. It is one of the best continuation cars on the market. It is a first hand car, that has only been driven 950 miles from new and and maintained regularly.

As a Shelby, the car is registered as a 1965 with an original VIN, and is delivered with a manufacturer's statement of origin from Shelby, certifying the car is 1965. This is trully unique in the Cobra world, as only the CSX4000 are delivered with a COC, a VIN compliant with the original ones, and can thus be registered in Europe (including France) as 1965 Shelby Cobra. 

With the alumiunium body it is the closest thing to the original Cobra. And as a Shelby built cobra, the car is listed in the Shelby registry. 

This stunning cobra is now available in the US. The price includes shipping and all european taxes. It will be delivered with a French (or european) road registration (registered as a 1965 427 Shelby Cobra).
