That car was built in 65 so obviously did not come with a C6 originally, most likely a C4, then refurbed by ol Carroll in the upgrade.
C4s are still the most popular with racers because of their lighter weigh, reliability, and nowadays with modern components just about bulletproof.

Did anyone notice the other headline in the Top Gear page ( This Shelby Cobra just sold for £3.3m - BBC Top Gear) about Tom the Scientologist playing Carroll Shelby in a movie on the Le Mans GT40. He's probably the only actor who will have to step up into one. A 5 foot nothing playing a 6 foot Texan?????????????????

I thought this thing sold for about $16m a few years ago when it was first restored. It was some kind of record.

Actually Shelby built two of them exactly alike. He used beefed up C-4s and built one for Bill Cosby which is what Cosby used for his 200 MPH album. That one was later returned to Shelby and sold out of a dealership in San Francisco to a guy who ran it off a cliff into the ocean and totally destroyed it. When this one sold at Barrett Jackson's several years ago Ron Pratt, who had it there this time bought it for 5.5 million. The highest priced Shelby Cars are the Daytona Coupes and the GT-40s that raced at LeMans. I just saw where they are restoring the GT-40 that won the 66 LeMans race when they finished 1-2-3. That one I got to sit in after the race and it still had all of the rubber and dirt on it from the race. I tried to talk them into letting me drive it some but no luck.

Since we're on this topic, what's the latest on CSX 3303?
Weren't parts of the wreck pulled from the ocean and someone restoring it?

It was reconstructed years ago as a right hand drive, quad weber car. The twin blown motor went into an award winning hot rod, but the engine block was recently purchased by the current owner of 3303. It is now converted back to LHD and has new blowers fitted, super snake hood fitted etc. While there's a clear paperwork trail of ownership of the car (or then at least the unusable scraps of tubes that once formed a chassis), nobody sees 3303 as an original 60s Cobra. It's all a reconstruction, including the body and chassis. If you have a VIN and a title, you can make magic happen!
A quote from Ned Scudder the SAAC guru from a few years back:
In the case of 3303, the wrecked chassis remains were sold to Gordon Gimbel in 1975 by Bob Sbarbaro, the person who acquired them from a scrap yard after Tony Maxey had his accident. Gimbel received a California pink slip for the car and sold the rights to it to Brian Angliss, who subsequently rebuilt it from the paperwork up. Given that the ownership trail is clear and well-documented, the reconstructed car is not properly termed an air-car, although it can accurately be called a reproduction.
