SHELBY COBRA CSX4000

The Shelby Cobra is arguably the world's most famous and recognizable sports car. The legendary 427 S/C was the ultimate expression of this incredible car. Today's CSX4000 Series 427 S/C Cobra from Shelby American is everything our 1965 model was, and more. From the world's first computer designed chassis and four wheel coil-over independent suspension to the heart stopping power of the big block Ford V8 breathing through those awesome side pipes - these Cobras are all Shelby. The authenticity is documented by Shelby CSX chassis numbers and a Manufacturer's Statement of Origin (MSO) from Shelby American signed by Carroll himself. Improvements include a stronger steel frame and better alloys used in the components, plus better cooling and additional heat shielding to make these cars safer and more drivable without losing any of their original character. If you've ever wanted a true Shelby Cobra, this is your car. With 0-60 in four seconds flat and 12 second quarter mile performance, you'll know exactly what it's like to drive a true American Legend.

All new production Shelby Cobras are offered in component form, less drive train.
