In 1962, Carroll Shelby, one of America's greatest race car drivers, began a new chapter with the iconic Cobra sports car. This legendary model infused every subsequent Shelby vehicle with a piece of its unique “DNA".
Carroll Shelby built his first Cobra using the new small-block Ford engine in a rented shop, with assistance from skilled California hot rodders. The car quickly became a global sensation, gracing magazine covers and receiving rave reviews.
This lightweight, reliable, and powerful roadster was the embodiment of American spirit. Today's CSX8000 Series Cobra, modeled after that original, retains the classic suspension and body lines but offers superior fit and finish. With modern upgrades for safety and performance, this small-block street Cobra delivers the same thrilling drive as the first cars from over 50 years ago.
CSX8045 is a prime example of an aluminum Shelby Cobra. This 1962 Shelby CSX8000 features an aluminum body with a polished finish, showcasing sleek lines and a concours-ready appearance.
CSX8045 is a new rolling chassis, ready for an engine and transmission. It includes stainless exhaust, fresh air vents, a glove box, grab handle, and leather interior. It is sold new on Shelby MCO for $361,795.
