Cobra: CSX 3127
Might be a repeat, but in case anyone missed a Thread
By: Brad Constant on 12/02/2011 @ AutoWeek
"Shelby American's original 1965 Shelby 427 Street Cobra prototype will be up for auction at the 2012 Russo and Steele auction on Jan. 18-22, 2012, in Scottsdale, Ariz.
According to the auction house, this 427 Cobra--chassis No. CSX 3127--was the fourth of the 260 original 427 Street Cobras created by Shelby. The car was built by Britain's Auto Carriers Ltd., like all Cobras, but it was the only one delivered to Shelby American by air; the rest were delivered by boat. CSX 3127 arrived first, in bare aluminum ready for Shelby to install a Ford 427 V8 engine.
Check out the fascinating history of CSX 3127 at Russo and Steele's Web site, and start saving your pennies. "
