For more than 45 years, this beautifully preserved 1963 Shelby
Cobra lived in a temperature and humidity controlled environment in
Hawaii, and was driven by the late owner when he visited his second
home on the island. With less than 17,000 miles on the odometer,
which are believed to be original, this lightly used and lovingly
cared for authentic Shelby Cobra has to be one of the most original
on the planet.Unlike many of the Shelby street cars from the 60's,
this one has never been modified for the track, and is virtually
unmolested. Fenders, door panels, deck lid, hood, etc. have never
been modified with flares, and then made original again. You're
looking at the car the way Carroll intended. With the exception of
one respray and some recent small dent removal (PDR), the body is
as original as any you'll find. Even the original windscreen is
still in place!The tonneau cover, convertible top, side curtains,
bows, jack, tool kit, grease gun, etc. go with the car. The
chromespoke wheels were added in the late 60's. The original
painted wheels and tires are included in the sale.Here's an
opportunity to own a fully documented, original 289 c. i. Shelby
Cobra, fully sorted and ready to show, or enjoy on a weekend
cruise. CSX2081 features the original factory installed, 289 c. i.
powertrain, including the engine, transmission and differential.
The only updates under the hood have been the replacement of the
Harrison radiator with a quality replica, and upgrading the
generator with an alternator to keep the battery charged while
idling - a necessity to power the electric fans. The original
generator and radiator are available upon request.The car is
located in the Los Angeles, CA area and available for a
pre-purchase inspection, with some advance notice. Email
