1965 Shelby Cobra CSX4000 Series Roadster // Mecum Monterey 2024

Numbered CSX4207, this CSX4000 Series Continuation 427 S/C Cobra’s story begins with its sole owner, Scott Johnson, who arranged the car's order directly with Carroll Shelby at a meeting at the Bel Air Country Club.
It is believed that this example is the first aluminum-bodied CSX4000 Series car to be left unpainted. The classic Cobra striping etched into the body makes it one of only four cars produced in this style. Prior to completion, the car's aluminum body was displayed suspended from the ceiling at a prominent Shelby Showcase in Scottsdale, Arizona. The odometer reads a scant 97 miles, most of which were accrued in testing.

I’m planning on bidding on it. I told my wife I’ve set aside $75k for it. Wish me luck!

Isn't this just a replica?

[@PETERNESS]

hahahahhaa "you cant duplicate these things" really?????

[@grahambell4298]

Yes, that was hilarious. What's even more hilarious is that this car itself is effectively a copy. The tooling used to manufacture the original 1960s Cobras was retained by AC in England after Ford pulled the plug on the Cobra, and that photo of Cobras lined up at 1.38 shows AC's works in England.
So Shelby American is effectively peddling replicas made using non-original tooling. In addition to which CSX is an AC chassis designation used to denote a left hand drive Cobra for export to the US.
