Overview

1965 Shelby Cobra

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. Shelby developed a new independent suspension, fortified the frame to handle the increase in torque and modified the body to fit bigger wheels and tires.

CSX3093 is a text book example of what an aluminum cobra can be. A Shelby genuine exclusive CSX3000 sequence numbered car, ordered in aluminum body with a polish finish. But what is a Cobra without stripes? So CSX3093 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.


CSX3093 is built on a stainless steel chassis with billet aluminum suspension components. The interior features leather seats and dash panel with carpeted doors and tunnel.

This CSX3000 was finished with a Shelby Engine 437FE Stroked to 511cu and topped with an 8-stack fuel injection system which produces 639HP through a Tremec TKO600 5 speed transmission.

CSX3093 is currently titled in Montana as a 1965 Shelby Cobra 427 and is available for sale for $549,995.00
