This exciting Shelby Cobra is one of fifty cars produced by Shelby American to honor the golden anniversary of the iconic CSX 2000, the first Shelby Cobra ever built and one of the most valuable sports cars in the world today. The 50th Anniversary Limited Edition CSX 8000-series Cobra has exclusive use of CSX serial numbers 8950-8999. This particular car is the fifth built, being numbered CSX 8954 and features a Black hand-laid fiberglass body that is greatly complemented by leather seats and wool carpet in Mercedes Wine. This is for all means a “new” car with only 60 miles driven.
The car has a tube frame that supports a hardy mechanical platform that includes a 289-cid, 350-hp V-8 engine, five-speed manual transmission, Shelby aluminum housing differential, dual piston four-wheel disc brakes, rack-and-pinion steering and Spicer split-spline half-shafts.
The cockpit features Stewart Warner gauges, tinted windscreen visors, leather-covered dash and map pockets, unique 50th Anniversary floor mats, Shelby harnesses and wood steering wheel with a limited edition horn button. The glovebox lid is auto-pen signed by the late Carroll Shelby. The front grille is instantly recognizable, and the car looks ready for action with front and rear bumpers, windwings, chrome 15-inch wire wheels and unique front, rear and side 50th Anniversary badging that is finished in a gold tone.
