Overview
1965 Shelby Cobra
Few cars have shaped American performance history like the big block Shelby Cobra. When rivals raised the stakes in the 1960s, Carroll Shelby and Ford answered by creating an icon: the 427 Cobra. To harness the power of the legendary 427 FE engine, Shelby re-engineered the Cobra from the ground up—fortifying the chassis, developing a new independent suspension, and modifying the body to fit larger wheels and tires. The result? The most revered American sports car ever built.
The 60th Anniversary CSX6000 Series Cobra's, limited to just 10 pieces, are available to order and create a rare collector's opportunity. Currently a rolling chassis, it showcases the timeless 427 S/C body, finished in authentic 1965 Championship Guardsman Blue with Wimbledon White LeMans stripes and polished stainless steel quick jacks. The new stainless steel 427 exhaust system and exclusive 60th Anniversary gauge package set this Cobra apart as a true centerpiece for any collection.
