1962 Shelby CSX 8000 Fiberglass Body 50th anniversary ON EBAY NOW
|
Now that is interesting...
Not in the market for that but let's see what the market bares!;) |
I'll be watching it too. Don't like the Holley 8V setup. It's not in keeping with originality but whatever. Will be interesting to see if it sells.

Only 6 pictures?
Agree on the carb set-up; not too good. |
8v on a 289? Like flushing a toilet into a 5-gallon bucket, IMHO.;)
|
I like 8V setups, I just would like to see it done accurately with the Carter carbs. I know why it doesn't have one though as I'm right in the middle of putting one together right now. To make it right (accurate to original), it would have been cheaper to use Webers!

And what makes it even more rare is that it's a CS-signature delete edition too. :LOL: |
Here you go. I guess they were available back in the day. This is from an old catalog from CS. Your prices may vary.;)

Those are post-Cobra. As far I know, the dual four barrel offered as an option from SA for Cobra was the Carter setup. It was also offered through Ford with slight changes/evolution than what was used on the Cobra and past the production period of the Cobra.

Larry is correct. The “high rise” 2-4V system using Ford specific Holley carburetors wasn’t around during Cobra production. The first high rise intake with Holleys was developed for the 1966 Shelby Group II Mustangs for the SCCA Trans-Am series. A different intake was developed for the 1967 season (probably to take advantage of the racing only C6FE cylinder heads designed for GT40s) and started off using the same models Ford/Holley carburetors introduced as a running change for the 1963 Ford 427 8V option (and 1966 Cobras The 1966 high rise system style been reproduced. A company called Autosports marketed SHELBY lettered parts and accessories circa late 1967 through about early 1971. Dan |
Although the bids are coming in pretty fast, I somehow doubt it will hit the $189k asking price he has posted in the classified section of this site.
My guess is top out at about $120k...maybe? |
It's currently up to $100,000. Looking good so far!

I have never figured out why they can't get the interior right: things wrong are glove box knob location, clock, silly looking covers over door hinges, length of gearshift,...
I too don't like the glitzy dual quad setup, but at least that's an easy fix. |
one of fifty produced
This is only one of fifty cars built celebrating the 50th anniversary of the first Cobras. Like the originals no two are built alike. These cars will stand on their own merits as new 50th Anniversary Shelby Cobra cars. I think Shelby American got it right.

Who cares, it's a small block...:LOL::LOL:

OTOH, the $189,000 "ask" for a fiberglass-bodied CSX with red interior and a 289 probably entered the "irrational exuberance" territory. :) |

Being a member of other websites of other marques, Mr. Becker's asking price for the black/red 289 CSX seems plausible in comparison to other seller offerings in the current market. |
