Vehicle Description
Powered by a V8 engine and 4-speed manual transmission, CSX2177 is
listed in the fourth edition World Registry of Cobras and GT40s. It
was used for its first year for sales promotion in the Cincinnati,
OH, Ford district and then returned to Shelby for reconditioning.
However, instead of reconditioning CSX2177, it was sold as-is to
Taylor American on June 3, 1965. It was later sold to Greg Bynum of
Bakersfield, CA, where he raced it until it was sold in 1985 to
Ronald O'Connor of Wauwatosa, WI. O'Connor vintage-raced CSX2177
over the next 18 years until he retired from vintage racing in
2003. In 2004 O'Connor restored and modified CSX2177 to its present
condition for more serious racing.
