Default CSX3012 on ebay.......

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Cars-...=p4506.c0.m245

In these uncertain economic times we have been encouraged, among other things, to invest in Gold and Silver. This offering, . . . a vintage, sterling Silver investment opportunity that provides excitement, pride of ownership and, most importantly, potential asset appreciation. By definition, “The demand for precious metals is driven not only by their practical use, but also by their role as investments and a store of value.”

I respectfully introduce . .turned out in brilliant Astral Silver, CSX-3012, one of the original 19 production competition 427 Cobras. . Of the 348 “big block” Cobras produced by Shelby American in the mid 60’s, Only 21 cars, including 2 prototypes, were designated “Competition Cobras” and thus carried the mantra and status of “factory built and prepared race car”. These Comp 427 Cobras, as they are referred to, are among the very upper echelon of high performance, investment grade, collectible, race cars. Ownership of one of these venerable Comp Cobras is to possess a distinctive segment of Automotive history and a wise investment choice on many levels. With a short production run of only 19 examples, not including the 2 prototype cars, these fat fendered, 500+ horsepower, coil sprung monsters, are a wonder to behold, continue to appreciate in value, are very competitive in Vintage Racing events, and draw crowds of admirers wherever they appear.

Even though it is an air car it is still A-1, I could find space in the garage...

The mere mention of this Cobra's serial number evokes dialogue of epic proportions regarding rumor, lore and legend. The legacy of CSX-3012 begins over 42 years ago in May of 1966. This Cobra was delivered from Shelby American to a well known California racer and campaigned in various SCCA and USRRC races, with several wins and top 5 finishes.

MGM Studios selected CSX-3012 to star in the 1966 feature film "Spinout", costarring Elvis Presley and Shelly Fabares.

This car has also graced the cover and pages of several enthusiast books and magazines.

Since its early competition days CSX-3012 was returned to the factory, in England, and totally and completely rebuilt and restored to its original impressive persona, including the Silver livery. The complete documented history on this competition Cobra is available in the Shelby Registry or via email by request. The vinyl, #11 "meatballs" on the front flanks, were installed for a nostalgic photo shoot, are easily removable.


Title: Shelby 427 Cobra, Competition Roadster . .Comp Cobra!

Mileage: 5,000 miles

Location: Tempe, Arizona

3012 is still on the original MSO and has never been titled for street use. It is eligible for most vintage racing and Shelby Club events in this country and abroad and also eligible to participate in premier long distance vintage car tours and rally events like the Copperstate 1000, and other vintage auto tours, both across this country and abroad.

At least the lister allows the photos to be saved , unlike Canepa Design...
