1962 Shelby 289 Cobra "Slab Side"

CSX8200

In 1962 Carroll Shelby, one of America's greatest race car drivers began a new chapter in his storied career with the legendary Cobra sports car. A piece of of this sports car's "DNA" is part of every subsequent Shelby vehicle. Shelby built his first Cobra, using the new small block Ford engine, in a rented shop. An instant global sensation, it was featured on the cover of magazines with glowing reviews.

The lightweight, reliable and powerful roadster was pure American. Today's CSX8000 Series Cobra is modeled after that first car using the same original suspension and body lines. With a few modern upgrades in materials and design for safety and performance improvements, the small block street Cobra is as thrilling to drive as the first cars built in the 1960s. Like the 289 FIA Cobra, it is available in aluminum or fiberglass bodies.

CSX8200 is a fiberglass rolling chassis finished in classic Wimbledon White and is finished with tan leather interior with rear map pocket, grab handle, heater/defroster, fresh air vents, ceramic coated headers, and black painted wire wheels.

CSX8200 is available for $159,250 and sold on Shelby Manufacturers Certificate of Origin.
