Vehicle Description
Commissioned by Carroll Shelby, the CSX 4000 Continuation Series
was everything the legendary 427 Cobras are and more. This example
was built on the same line as CSX 3031, which was among the very
few that were finished to Semi-Competition S/C specifications, and
is finished in Guardsman Blue with white side pipe exhaust. Built
at Shelby American Las Vegas, this early car was the 21st Cobra
sold to the public. It's rolling chassis was completed April 23,
1997, and its 428ci SCJ V8 engine was built by noted engine
builder, Stan Johnson of Ford Powertrain Puyallup, WA. The engine
is equipped with a fully balanced rotating assembly with resized
LeMans rods, aluminum Cobra Jet heads by Bliss, Blue Thunder
aluminum intake with correct Holley 780 carburetor with Turkey
Baster, and sends power through a Toploader 4-speed manual
transmission with 3.54 Dana rear end. CSX4031 features correct
Lucas wiring and lights, Galaxie reversed shifter and black leather
interior, Trigo chrome knock-off wheels, chrome quick jacks and
roll bar, remote filter, correct 15-inch Shelby steering wheel, and
a fiberglass body with aluminum dress-up kit, including fender
wells and trunk. This Cobra was featured in two Xbox 360 games,
Project Gotham Racing 4 and Forza Motorsports 3. It's a two-owner
car with all documentation and receipts, including the original
copy of the MSO signed by Carroll Shelby. It's listed in the new
Cobra Registry and the dash is signed by Peter Brock and Allen
Grant. A select offering from a private collection. **TITLED AS A
