Not Ranked
CSX 3058, Shelby Cobra 427 SC, was shown at an auction in Boca Raton about 5 years ago, not sure if it made its very high reserve. i don't think it has ever been registered, at least not with that title signed by Shelby, but Bill might know better about the details.
i am not a neutral party in this issue, as i have the AC Cars CSX 3058, the last of the very few "real" 427 SC's made by AC Cars, Ltd, England, in the early 90's. They were never Shelby cars, but were sold into GB, Finland, Jersey Isles and Germany, one each.
Of course, a few more were made by the later AC Cars Group, Ltd, but not recorded as CSX 30XX cars, [or, alternatively, if they were, they were not legal with the applicable and required British/German standards, since the "grandfather" clause exceptions on emissions and crash safety were canceled upon the closing of AC Cars, Ltd, England and the sale of its assets only.]
The Shelby 3058 is very interesting, because of the notorious story about its "origins" by Shelby/McCluskey and its high current price.
