A lot of Shelby's work on the cars was quick and sloppy, with a "get the engines in and sell them" execution. SA was interested in racing, not selling street cars. The tailshaft housing used on the Cobra 427 was drilled/tapped in the rear most shifter position as supplied from Ford. It was easiest to just turn the handle around and leave the shifter attached to the housing.
