Description

The big block Shelby Cobra is considered by many to be the most iconic American sports car in history. When GM began to work on a new big block Corvette and Ferrari increased the power of the V12 powered GTO’s, Shelby and Ford Motor Company decided to shoehorn the mighty 427 FE motor into the Cobra.

To fit the 427 into his Cobra, Carroll Shelby completely redesigned the frame, body and chassis, developed a new independent suspension, fortified the frame to handle the increase in torque, and modified the body to fit bigger wheels and tires.

We resumed production of the Cobra 427 S/C (originally as the CSX4000-series) in 1997 and they’re available today in aluminum or fiberglass.

CSX4935 is a text book example of what an aluminum cobra can be. A Shelby CSX4000 ordered in aluminum body with a polished finish. But what is a Cobra without stripes? So, CSX4935 was finished with brushed stripes offering the aesthetic we have come to expect with a 427 S/C Cobra with a stunning concourse ready finish.

CSX4935 is a rolling chassis ready for engine and transmission, completed with stainless steel exhaust, fresh air vents, and leather interior. Sold brand new on Shelby factory Manufacturer’s Certificate of Origin (MCO), priced at $371,245.
