This Shelby Cobra 427 Roadster is an aluminum-bodied CSX4000
continuation model built in 2004. The vehicle has a dark blue
metallic exterior with a black leather interior and a 510ci V8
engine manufactured by Shelby mated to a four-speed manual
transmission. Roll hoop, side-exit exhaust pipes, 15-inch Halibrand
wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, lap belts, and Smiths instruments
are among the other notable features.
The aluminum bodywork is covered in dark blue metallic paint and is
reported to be one of two "Phantom" Cobra versions created with
bespoke graphics and Carroll Shelby's name embedded in the paint.
This Cobra is sporting magnesium coating finish 15" Halibrand
wheels wrapped in Avon Radial tires, size 245/60 in front and
295/50 in back. The vehicle has four-wheel independent suspension,
coil-overs, rack-and-pinion steering, and four-wheel disc
brakes.
The cabin features black dashboard, carpeting, and leather bucket
seats. A wood-rimmed steering wheel sits in front of the Smiths
instrumentation that includes a reverse-sweep 180-mph speedometer,
an 8k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The odometer reads
3,119 miles, with about 450 added under the most recent
ownership.
The 510ci Shelby-built side-oiler V8 making over 575 horsepower and
610lb-feet of torque has a single Holley carburetor, aluminum
radiator, polished air cleaner, and 427-branded valve covers.
Ten of these driving' machines were scheduled to be produced with
each featuring its own distinctive Phantom paint job and a Cobra
ghost-painted on each side of the car. In the end, there were only
two of these special serpents ever produced, each listed in SAAC's
Shelby World Registry. The first was built for Carroll Shelby and
presented to him on his 80th birthday. The second and last one to
ever be built was this specific example. It is also the only one
with Shelby's name ghost-painted on the hood.
This CSX4000 is offered with a duplicate statement of origin, a
certificate of authenticity for the engine, a copy of World
Registry of Cobra and GT40s, and a clean California title listing
the car as a specially constructed vehicle.
Upon arrival at Canepa, every collector car for sale is put through
an extensive and diligent process called the "Canepa Difference."
This includes a major and comprehensive mechanical inspection where
all systems are checked, serviced, and restored as needed. They
also receive an award-winning concours-level detailing, including a
thorough cleaning of each and every surface.
Don't wait, as this may be your only chance at obtaining the
elusive Shelby "Phantom" Cobra!
