One of the Most Correct Cobras In Existence.Invoiced to Shelby American on June 10, 1966, CSX3278 was finished in Rangoon Red/ Black and billed to Tasca Ford of East Providence, Rhode Island, for $6,145.00. After a sale fell through at Tasca Ford, the Cobra was then transported to Ron's Ford Sales in Bristol, Tennessee and where it was sold to new ownership. In 1980, the Cobra was advertised by Weldon Scrogham's G&W Sales and Service of Waynesboro, Virginia, as "Cobra 427, Red/Black, 13K miles, excellent original example, $55,000." Mr. Scrogham was a well-known and respected Porsche restorer-collector who's Porsches have adorned the worlds concours lawns over the years. Apparently, Mr Scrogham traded an original-paint 1959 Porsche 356 A Coupe to the Cobra's West Virginia-based second owner, who had bought it for his daughter as a graduation gift. Mr. Scrogham stated that it still had the original sticker on the speedometer then, and that he sold it to an enthusiast named Mr. Walker of NC. Alan Shelton of NC purchased the Cobra sometime in the 1980s and although advertising it for sale in 1991 "Fresh, original engine, drivetrain w/ scattershield; wheels beaded; nice Wingfoots; original paint, leather, top, side curtains, tonneau; 17K miles; $425,000, apparently Mr Shelton decided to keep the Cobra in his care for the next 27 years and until 2018 when he ultimately made the decision to sell the Cobra. The Cobra has since been completely detailed and corrected in nearly every way. In 2019 the Cobra was judged at the National Shelby American Automobile Club convention in Pittsburgh by the most knowledgeable Cobra authorities. It was scored Gold In Survivor Class (a class for original paint cars only). This 427 is an extremely rare example that has somehow evaded what the vast majority of Cobras have not. It has never been modified, It has never been damaged, and still retains its original paint, Complete interior, Body, Engine, Transmission and Rear end. Detailed to the highest level and with many parts which are impossible to find, it comes complete with the following items which originally came with a Cobra: Soft top, Tonneau Cover, Side Windows, Jack, Grease Gun, 427 Manual, and a near perfect reproduction tool kit. Also included are several bits and parts which we affectionately label as relatively "unobtainable" to include: An original 427 Manual - Original Blue Dot Tires (Made for 427 Cobra's only) - Original Spark Plug Wires- Original Weatherstrip - Original Soft Top, Side Curtains, Tonneau Cover- Original Jack and Grease Gun- Original Complete Exhaust System- Original Windshield- Original Radiator- Original Rainbow Wiper Blades- Original Heater Hose- Original Brake Hose- Original Footbox Insulation - Original Cobra and 427 Badges- Original Fuse Box Cover- Original Air Duct Hose- Original Murray Goldseal Clamps- Original Lucas Sealed Beam Headlights. Recently serviced throughout by well-known Cobra specialists, this 427 street Cobra is ready, willing and able to be used and enjoyed as well as shown. All original parts that have been removed have been catalogued and stored should a future owner choose to return it to absolutely original condition, even its original wheels and tires, still holding air can be reinstalled. A wonderful entrant for any preservation concours around the world, including The Pebble Concours d'Elegance. This represents an extremely rare opportunity to own a documented, original, award winning and unmodified 427 Cobra and just 1 of 260 Street cars ever produced.
