Tyler Hunter, his son, sold the Cobra to Mr. Mark Reber circa 2022.  Mr. Reber, a keen collector of vintage and collectible sports cars having dual citizenship, he decided to import this 427 S/C to the UK for his use and enjoyment. At this time, the original color Red was changed to Black.

Retaining residences in both the UK and US it was decided to return this Cobra to the United States. In 2025 having decided to remain in the UK full-time, Mr. Reber consigned this CSX Cobra through Autosport Designs, Inc and we subsequently sold it to a good client here in Long Island, NY.  In its most recent ownership, the CSX Cobra has been serviced, and maintained (service records included) by Autosport Designs, Inc., when and where needed to keep in its current exceptional and ready to use condition.  This is an opportunity to own one of the Shelby Enterprises aluminum 427 S/C Cobra in superb condition and with outstanding provenance-documentation from new.
