ratio, creating an exhilarating yet highly refined driving
experience. Inside, the cockpit remains faithful to the Cobra's
competition-bred roots while offering subtle refinements. A 15-inch

Anniversary floor mats, a partially carpeted floor and tunnel,
heater/defroster, fresh air ventilation system, premium Stroud
shoulder harnesses and lap belts, a competition-correct red fire

the Cobra gold divider bar and special 50th Anniversary badging on
the hood, trunk, and steering wheel hub further distinguish this
already rare example. With its ultra-limited production,

and exceptionally low mileage, CSX4578 stands as one of the finest
50th Anniversary Cobras available today-an uncompromising blend of
