1965 SHELBY COBRA CSX 4095 ROADSTER

Immediately dominant in American road-racing from early 1963 Carrol Shelbys Ford-powered AC Ace-derived Cobra quickly became one of the most revered American sports cars built. As production ended replicas started to pop up. Reaching the status of the most-copied car Carroll Shelby saw a space and time in the market to produce a continuation car and the CSX6000 for the 289s and CSX4000 for the big-block 427s series were born. The Shelby CSX4000 delivers breathtaking performance and a historic driving experience. The frame is stronger than the original AC-built unit. Cooling is improved as is the heat shielding. CSX4095 offered here titled as a 1965 model year with Ford 427ci power has been meticulously kept and minimally enjoyed for less than 2000 miles from new (mileage not indicated on the title). The high-strength fiberglass composite body is painted Guardsman Blue and it has black leather upholstery. CSX4095 is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from Shelby American Inc. showing that this is every bit a real Shelby yet offers a practical alternative to experience the unmatched performance and aggressive style of these American sports car legends at a fraction of the cost of a 1960s-built car.
