I was told that only 10 were ever made, nine of them were blue with a white stripe and that this is the only red one to exist. They made them back in 1967 to promote the actual 1965 model of the Shelby Ford Cobra for the Ford Motor Company. It has all the real badges, five horse power motor. It is all original, runs good, and has original tires and old school wheels. This is a very rare one of a kind cool antique. Would make an excellent addition to a car collection or make it your own. Caroll Shelby had these made for promotional events and gave away 10 of these with the first 10 cars that were sold, This is what I was told and all I know about this Go Kart. The body has a few minor cracks on the bottom. One is in the front and one in the back, but these can easily be repaired. I am open to series offers over $5000 and/or partial trades. I have looked online everywhere and could not find anything that comes close to this one. If anyone else has has any information on these older Cobra karts, please share it. Thanks!

This story sounds rather unlikely. But what the heck, do you have any proof that this go kart was built in 1967 and given away by Shelby?

If you are sure of your story, why not try posting this on saacforum.com?
