In 1965 Carroll Shelby was in a race against the clock to produce 100 completed 427 �Competition Cobras� to qualify as an FIA GT class manufacturer. Falling short of the requirement, Shelby put the project on hold. 50 years after the original project began, the Carroll Shelby Trust has elected to complete the remaining 34 Competi-tion Chassis big block Cobras. Building the cars as true race cars, these Shelby 427 �Competition Cobras� are sold as a complete vehicle includ-ing an Iron 427 FE side-oiler engine. The CSX3000 series Cobra was built closely to the GT class specs used by Shelby American to compete for the 1966 FIA World Championship.
Built by the Carroll Shelby Engine Company, the CSX3000 Series Cobra is completed with a 429CID engine. It begins with a fully prepped vintage road race legal iron side oiler 427 FE block with a 4.250� bore. Each of our complete engines are professionally assembled, balanced, blue printed, and Dyno tuned. This block produces 550 horsepower and 540 ft. lb. torque.
This race car comes with MSO
